Since its introduction in 1938, fiberglass insulation has remained one of the most common methods of home insulation. It is available in two forms - rolled batts which are stapled into place or loose-fill which is blown into attic, wall and floor cavities. Both methods provide the same amount of energy performance when installed properly. The dense fibers of the insulation trap pockets of air, significantly slowing the spread of heat or cold air in your home. A key advantages of fiberglass insulation is that it is one of the least expensive ways to insulate your home while still maintaining a high R-value performance.

Fiberglass insulation remains extremely popular for commercial property owners looking to add comfort and energy efficiency to their indoor spaces. No matter what type of building you need to insulate, fiberglass batt insulation can be installed into interior walls, floors, and ceilings to protect your commercial space from uncomfortable temperatures, sounds, and moisture. The end result is higher energy efficiency and lower overhead costs. The professionals at Creative Conservation have extensive experience installing fiberglass batt insulation to meet building code requirements.

Spray foam is an economical insulation choice for commercial buildings. Because of its superior air-sealing qualities and ability to minimize sound, spray foam is an ideal solution for commercial projects. The expanding liquid form is installed by spraying it into wall and floor cavities and is able to insulate concrete slabs, as well as finished walls. Once applied, the foam expands up to 100 times its original volume, creating a barrier against exterior sound, moisture, and temperature. Regardless of building type or size, spray foam insulation is an environmentally-friendly choice that can improve the performance of your space and reduce your overhead costs.

If you've ever experienced water damage in your basement or crawl spaces, then you know how frustrating it can be to have moisture in your home. Damp basements, crawl spaces, and attics are a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and musty odors. That is why it is so important to waterproof your home. Think of waterproofing as an added layer of protection to keep your home comfortable and dry.

A crawl space is an important part of your home. It promotes air circulation, provides access to plumbing, electrical and other wiring, and - most importantly - serves as the actual foundation of your home. And, yet, it is often one of the most neglected spaces in a home. Because of their location, crawl spaces can easily become damaged by moisture, extreme temperatures, and water vapor levels. Once this happens, the structural integrity of your home can be compromised. Creative Conservation offers full crawl space repair which includes: replacing contaminated crawl space insulation and vapor barriers, cleaning out debris, mold and mildew remediation, and installation of sump pump/interior drain systems.

If you are looking for professional insulation installers who have experience with cellulose, you've come to the right place. Our team of professionals understand how to correctly install stabilized cellulose in commercial spaces, and the proper time required for the cellulose to dry. Cellulose is the only installation that actually manages moisture, making a vapor barrier unnecessary with the exception of areas with high moisture levels (such as indoor pool facilities). It is very versatile and can be useful for fitting around pipes and wiring in a wall, creating an air-tight seal.

Cellulose insulation is made up of recycled materials, namely recycled newspaper that has been treated with a fire retardant. The insulation is blown into wall cavities, attics, and floors to regulate indoor air quality and temperature. It has the highest amount of recycled content of any insulation material, making it one of the best choices for environmentally-friendly insulation. At Creative Conservation, we use a stabilized blown-in cellulose that contains a slight moisture content. The moisture helps control dust and is particularly useful in horizontal applications, such as attics.

Spray foam insulation is the perfect solution for keeping conditioned air from seeping out and outdoor temperatures from coming in. Made from a liquid foam that can expand up to 100 times its original size, spray foam is an environmentally safe and non-toxic way to insulate your home. Unlike traditional insulation, spray foam is installed by directly spraying the polyurethane foam onto the wall and floor cavities. It can also easily seal hard-to-reach places around electrical outlets and light fixtures.
