Many believe that during this pandemic that the best thing to do is to sit at home and just relax, but the reality is that even though with everything going on you should be keeping yourself busy. Take this time to be productive and to keep yourself from becoming bored, stressed, depressed or any other of the many emotions that are being felt.  

In light of everything occurring here are our top reasons why you should be looking to insulate your home during your staycation, or at the very least starting to research companies to help you perform the work once you feel comfortable allowing people in, on, or around your home.

Keeping Your Home Comfortable

Noise Reduction

Noise from both outside and inside the home can be lessened with insulation. It’s perfect for your entire home to absorb room-to-room noise. Insulating both inside and outside walls will reduce sounds from sneaking in.

Improved Moisture Control

Insulating your walls helps to improve moisture in your home. Moisture that is trapped in the walls can cause a lot of problems in your home. The water can condense on the walls and may lead to rot, frozen patches, and even mildew. By insulating your walls using a vapor resistant membrane, it reduces condensation. The condensation is usually caused by activities such as cooking, washing, and bathing. Therefore, you can improve the overall look of your walls. There is no doubt that insulation will leave your home looking beautiful like it has always been.

Environmental Responsibility

If you’re concerned about the effect of energy use on the environment, insulation definitely lessens the amount of energy your home uses and loses. Installing insulation helps reduce energy loss in a number of areas in the house.

Adding insulation to walls and ceilings and over unconditioned ground floor spaces, like basements and garages, is a simple and effective way to reduce energy loss.
