What is Wall insulation?

Filling the exterior walls of your home with adequate insulation is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to make your home more energy efficient. In addition to exterior walls, you can also choose to insulate interior walls for sound dampening (attenuation) to help control the noise transmittance throughout your home.

Wall Insulation Options

Most importantly, there are several insulation options available for walls - fiberglass batts, spray foam, and the blown-in blanket system (BIBS) . Each of these types of insulation have their different properties which may lead them to be better for certain projects, or goals.

FAQs

 

What is the best Wall insulation?

There are many variables that come into play when selecting the best insulation (budget, efficiency needs, and structural information). While each insulation has it’s own place and strengths, we typically say spray foam insulation is best (if cost prohibits), with fiberglass, and cellulose following closely behind.

How much Wall insulation do I need?

We refer to local municipal code requirements to ensure we are prescribing at least the code requirement – it never hurts to exceed the code requirement.

Can I add to my existing Wall insulation?

For existing walls that are covered by drywall, you can add insulation through a process known as a “Drill & Fill”, however we do not offer this as a service.

Do you sell Wall Insulation Material?

Arkansas Insulation no longer sells material to the public. We do offer free estimates on installed material - in other words, it’s free to see how we can help you.

Do you remove Wall insulation?

From time to time, insulation removal is required due to the insulation being damaged, wet, moldy, or just old. We do offer insulation removal as a service. For walls, the sheetrock needs to be removed, and we can take it from there.

Do you insulate walls in old homes?

We absolutely do! All we ask is that the sheetrock be removed so that the wall cavities are exposed.
