We install cellulose and spray foam insulation to make NH, MA, VT, and ME homes more comfortable and energy efficient. As insulation specialists, it's no surprise that we get a lot of questions from homeowners about insulation. Home insulation is especially important here in New England where winters are frigid. We wanted to take a moment to give you an overview of the different types of insulation and which types offer the greatest benefits.

Crawl space insulation is often overlooked as people don't often think about it, but crawl spaces are open to the outside weather, and cold can easily seep into the house through the floor. Proper insulation will help keep you warmer, and your utility bills lower. Not only is crawl space insulation important to keep you warm, but it is also important to keep your pipes from freezing. Pipes which burst can cost hundreds of dollars to repair. Proper insulation also protects your floor from moisture which causes mildew, fungi, mold, and wood rot.

Water in basements can be a nightmare that happens more often than you can imagine. Whether it's a bad storm - or several - or a regular occurrence, basement water and moisture is a terrible thing. Mold, musty smells and damp walls can be a result of wet basements. Spray Insulation can transform your basement into a quiet, dry space for your family or that extra storage you need. Creating an air seal can not only hold back water but it will save you money every month on your energy bills and make the space more comfortable in winter and summer.

The consistent quality, low dust, and easy cutting resilient fibers make fabrication simple and installation fast. The products can be used in new and retrofit wood and metal frame applications in residential and commercial structures as well as in manufactured housing applications. These applications include thermal and acoustical treatments to walls, ceilings and floors. Knauf insulation offers a full line of standard and high-density EcoBatt batts and blankets with a wide range of sizes and R-values.

It is a spray applied insulating foam plastic which sprays as a liquid and then expands to make an air-tight seal. There are two different types of spray foam that you can utilize for your home: closed and open cell. Open cell spray foam is lightweight, pliable, and very easy to work with, while closed cell foam is rigid and very dense. When coming out to your home, our expert estimators will know which sort of spray foam would be best for your specific needs. As much as 40% of a house or building's energy is lost due to air infiltration.

Whether it is new construction or an existing structure, Colonial Fireproofing offers an array of code compliant solutions designed to fortify structural steel, concrete, and other common building materials. Monokote, fireproofing backed by a global reputation, is a life-safety product designed to reduce the rate of temperature rise in steel or concrete in the event of a fire. This prolongs the structural integrity of the elements which allows more people to leave a building in an emergency situation and gives first responders time to save the building.

By insulating your garage you will be protecting your pipes from freezing in the winter. Garage's are also frequently below other rooms in the house, and if the garage is not insulated then the room above will be colder due to the floor exposure. Winters in New England get very cold, and if you have a garage you have experienced going from the warmth of your home to the freezing cold of the garage. Save time in the morning by getting into a car that is warm and ready to be driven. If you have a workshop in the garage you know how noisy it can get in the house, and for your neighbors.

Our trained, certified technicians utilize the latest tools and techniques to deliver the most effective and efficient roof insulation possible. Whether you're looking for an upgrade, maintenance, or new construction, spray foam roofing is well worth your consideration. Our spray insulation can be applied in many ways including new residential construction, existing homes and remodel, commercial buildings, agricultural and industrial buildings, cooling/freezing storage facilities, storage tanks, warehouses, roofs, storage tanks, large and small metal sheds, and more.

With the proper insulation not only can you keep out the cold, but also many insulation types can keep out pests such as mice, insects, as well as being mold resistant. The air quality also tends to improve in your home, so that you can breathe in air that is crisper and drier. An insulated basement protects your foundation from freeze and thaw cycles by becoming a barrier. It also helps to ensure that your walls stop "sweating", which is important in getting rid of mold, mildew, and fungi in your basement.

Colonial Insulation and Fireproofing completes many commercial spray foam and cellulose insulation projects each year including - schools, doctors offices, hospitals, office buildings, industrial buildings (with many unique applications), public/government buildings, food service buildings and many others. By way of example we developed a method to increase the fire rating of elevator shafts by applying intumescent paint to the inside of the shaft from the top of the elevator. The application brings the shaft up to code, allows the elevator to function in a fire event, does not affect the outside of the shaft and allows the building to be operable during the application.
