Insulation questions, answered
How do I know if my building needs more insulation?
Common signs include rooms that are too hot or cold, drafts, high heating and cooling bills, and ice dams in winter. Many older buildings were insulated to outdated standards. We analyze the structure to determine how much additional insulation is needed and what ventilation fixes are required.
Should I choose sprayed foam or traditional insulation?
It depends on the project. Sprayed foam both insulates and seals air leaks, which makes it ideal for retrofits, rim joists and hard-to-reach cavities. Batts and blown-in insulation are cost-effective for open new-construction walls and attics. Because we’re not tied to one manufacturer, we recommend what’s right for your building and budget.
Do you work with builders or homeowners?
Both. Builders, developers and architects rely on Wilkin for new construction, and our remodel and retrofit work brings that same expertise to existing homes and buildings.
Can insulation reduce noise between rooms or units?
Yes. Acoustical insulation installed in interior walls and floor/ceiling assemblies reduces sound transfer for quieter bedrooms, home offices, theaters and multi-family units.
