When it comes time to insulate a split-level home, there are a few things you need to take into consideration, and Standard can help. Our experts can assess the home and pinpoint the best solutions to ensure the comfort and energy efficiency of your split-level house.
Challenges of Insulating a Split-Level House
Garages are typically attached to split-level homes and lack insulation, putting them right outside the house’s thermal boundary. Any spaces above the garage, usually bedrooms or extra living space, tend to be overly cold in winter and hot in summer.
That’s not the only challenge. Adequate wall insulation is essential to evening out the temperatures throughout the home. Ensuring knee walls are well insulated can help prevent drastic changes in temperatures.
Basements and crawlspaces also require attention. When unfinished, these areas can leak air and cause moisture problems, which is why basement and crawlspace insulationis recommended. Not only can insulation improve efficiency and comfort, but it can also help minimize insects and other pest problems.
Attic insulation helps minimize heat transfer, reduce air leaks, and increase a split-level home’s energy efficiency. Additionally, ensuring adequate insulation between levels in a split-level home is essential for comfort in every area of the house.
Standard’s Insulation Services for Split-Level Homes
Are you completely remodeling your home, or are you building from the ground up? Or do you just want to improve your energy efficiency and stay more comfortable?
No matter if you are thinking about new construction or upgrades and renovations, the experts at Standard can help you choose the perfect insulation type for your split-level home.
For example, spray foam insulationis an excellent choice with its high R-value and moisture resistance. Spray foam insulation expands during application, filling gaps and tiny openings for reduced air leakage and a custom fit.
Alternatively, you might choose blown-in insulation, a cellulose-based, spray foam alternative. It’s environmentally friendly and requires minimally invasive installation. In addition to sealing tiny cracks and gaps, it can muffle interior and exterior noises and is made from a Class-1 fire-retardant material.
