FIBERGLASS INSULATION

Fiberglass insulation is the most popular and dependable insulation material available in the market today. It helps keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter by resisting the varying changes in air flow and the outdoor temperatures. This makes fibreglass insulation the ideal material for proper home insulation to give you maximum comfort while reducing your need to rely on your home’s heating and cooling system.
Fiberglass insulation is favored by many homeowners and is recommended by professional contractors who have worked with this material and swear by its effectiveness.
When choosing the appropriate insulation material for your home, it pays to get the one that gives you the best value for your money. In the insulation industry, one material that gives you great value, long life use, a low degree of material settling and energy efficiency is fiberglass insulation. Let Ohio Exteriors show you how you can insulate your home and make it more comfortable with fiberglass insulation.
Fiberglass insulation’s advantages over other materials include:
  • Value for your money with nearly 60% in savings!
  • Modern advances and developments make it the safest insulation type in the industry
  • Ease of installation
  • Long-lasting lifespan (with an average span of 35-50 years)
  • Fire resistance and safety
  • High quality consistency and performance
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Resists settling
With modern developments in technology and manufacturing, fiberglass insulation material is now safer to apply, and is designed to shed little or no fiberglass particles in the air, and the use of organic-based compounds and materials has eliminated the danger of toxic gas byproducts. Compared to cellulose or foam insulation material, fiberglass is the most raw material-efficient with pre-used materials being recycled more than 50%!
Ohio Exteriors uses only the best quality fiberglass materials that have been IARC-approved and manufactured to the highest industry standards, to ensure you get the highest quality and best safety of use. Not only that, you can trust that that your home’s insulation is well taken care of by the best.Our insulation specialists are thorough, detail-oriented and very experienced so you can expect a professional job with minimum disruption and maximum safety.

FOAM INSULATION

Foam insulation is one of the newest advances in home insulation technology and manufacturing. But like any new technology, its costs can be prohibitive – it can skyrocket your budget easily! Let Ohio Exteriors show you how you can make the most out of your choice of home while keeping your improvements cost-effective and energy-efficient.
For many homeowners, the use of foam insulation would be the ideal solution. But the costs are so high – it’s nearly double the cost than most other insulation materials! That’s why many experienced and respected professional contractors like Ohio Exteriors trust and recommend fiberglass insulation. It’s effectiveness is unrivalled and compared to foam insulation, fiberglass insulation gives you so much more value than what you’re paying for.
Fiberglass insulation is by far, the more popular choice by homeowners and professional insulation specialists. It is cost-effective, easy to apply, and its durability and performance is beyond par. Here are the top five advantages that fiberglass insulation has over foam insulation:
Cost is always a determining factor when choosing the right insulation material. It’s practical and more effective to choose one that requires only one application and can be depended on to last. When compared to fiberglass insulation, foam insulation has nearly the same effectiveness, but loses this effectiveness over time.
Because foam insulation relies on chemical-based solutions and air (or other gases) for sealing and preventing air infiltration, there is the danger of over-expansion, especially when used for attic insulation, ceiling insulation or roof insulation. Other dangers include the release of toxic fumes and fire safety. Fire safety is a very big concern when using foam insulation – that’s why other contractors won’t even think of what can happen if a fire hits your home!

CELLULOSE INSULATION

For many homeowners, the use of cellulose (wood fiber) insulation seems like the environmentally-friendly solution. But is it really nature-friendly and easy to use? Or more to the point: Does cellulose insulation really compare to the high industry benchmark set by blown-in fiberglass insulation? Here are the five big myths about cellulose insulation, and the truth behind it all.
Myth: Cellulose insulation saves 20-30% in cost and energy.
Reality: It settles 20-30% more than fiberglass insulation, and will cost you more over time.
Myth: Cellulose insulation is durable over time.
Reality: It is prone to moisture absorption, deterioration, and settling over time.
Myth: Cellulose insulation is a clean insulation material alternative.
Reality: It can be a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.
Myth: Cellulose insulation is made with fire retardants.
Reality: It is extremely flammable.
Myth: Cellulose insulation is cost-effective.
Reality: It may cost you more than you think!
Settling (or material deterioration) is a big problem in insulation and cellulose is notorious for how much it settles over time. Compared to fiberglass insulation, cellulose can settle up to 20-50%! As years go by, your energy usage is likely increase to compensate for this loss in insulation.
Cellulose insulation is also notorious for its high moisture absorption. This can create a variety of problems: It speeds up settling, allows for mold and bacteria to grow, and strips away fire retardants. Compared to cellulose or foam insulation, fiberglass is more economical and environmentally friendly. Manufacturers recycle 50-80% more fiberglass than any other material in the insulation industry, including cellulose. Paper may seem like the perfect recyclable material, but glass is recycled 100% of the time.
Cellulose insulation may cost you more, in money and time. It doesn’t come cheap, and takes time to install and dry, where the drying process may take several days, using drying fans and dehumidifying equipment. If you’re starting a home improvement project or building a new house, this will negatively affect your cost and work schedule.
