Thermal Resistance
Insulation resists heat flow. The appropriate thermal resistance depends on the location and applicable building requirements.

Insulation helps reduce heat transfer between your home's interior and its surrounding environment.
The appropriate installation depends on factors such as the property, existing insulation, climate, available space and the building components involved.

Properly selected and installed insulation can help address heat transfer. Its performance depends on the complete building assembly and installation quality.
Insulation resists heat flow. The appropriate thermal resistance depends on the location and applicable building requirements.
Insulation is one of several building features that help manage heat transfer and indoor comfort.
Missing, compressed, displaced or damaged insulation may require evaluation before deciding what work is appropriate.
Material selection, coverage, fit and the surrounding building conditions all influence the completed installation.
Important: Insulation does not automatically seal air leaks or resolve existing moisture problems. These issues should be considered separately when planning improvements to a home.
Insulation decisions should account for more than the appearance of the material. These four topics are worth discussing before requesting installation.
Request Your EstimateIdentify what is already installed and whether any materials appear damaged or displaced.
R-value measures resistance to heat flow. Appropriate values depend on the building component and applicable requirements.
Air leakage and moisture concerns may need separate attention before adding insulation.
Attic openings, framing, ductwork and other obstacles can affect access and installation planning.

Information to consider before requesting insulation installation.
Ask Our Team →The amount needed depends on your existing insulation, the building component, local requirements and other property conditions. An assessment can help determine whether additional insulation is appropriate.
R-value measures a material's resistance to heat flow. A higher R-value generally indicates greater thermal resistance, but the appropriate value depends on the application and applicable requirements.
Appropriate insulation may reduce unwanted heat transfer, but actual energy use depends on many factors, including the existing building conditions, air leakage, climate and HVAC equipment. Specific savings cannot be guaranteed.
Insulation and air sealing have different functions. Some insulation assemblies can also provide air resistance when designed and installed appropriately, but installing insulation alone should not be assumed to seal every gap.
Do not assume removal is included in an installation estimate. Tell Santos about the existing materials and confirm whether evaluation, removal, disposal or replacement forms part of the proposed work.
