Residential Home Insulation
airKrete is the best residential home insulation in a number of ways.
It consists of magnesium oxide and ceramic talc. It has the consistency of shaving cream when it is being installed. There are no toxic chemicals, even in the event of fire, as it is basically made up of concrete, air, and water. It can be installed easily, without mess, and without a lot of big equipment. Two other remarkable factors are that it can be used to fill an existing wall and has an R value of 3.9 per inch.
Many of us seek to find out what material makes the best residential home insulation. There are many products on the market but airKrete has numerous excellent environmentally friendly features and some really unique aspects.
Benefits of airKrete
- Because of the high R-value of 3.9 per inch your heating and cooling costs will be reduced.
- It will not pack down over time as happens with some other insulation products. This means that the R-value stays the same and hollow areas don't develop in the walls.
- It is totally inflammable because it is a concrete based product.
- It is a healthy insulation for instances where people have chemical sensitivity. There is no off-gasing either during installation or afterwards.
- It will resist infestations of insects and rodents because of the nature of the product. This contributes to additional savings and peace of mind.
- It is not damaged if it should get wet and is mold resistant.
- In addition to its amazing thermal resistant properties it provides good sound proofing benefits.
- It can be installed into the empty cavities in existing walls, such as in older homes.
- In spite of all these tremendous aspects it is totally non-toxic even in the event of fire.
These are the reasons I chose to use airKrete to fill the empty cavities in the walls of my more than a century old home.
I believe it to be the best residential home insulation on the market, having none of the down sides of some other products. It can be an excellent choice for new construction or a retrofit for existing buildings. It is also used commercially for buildings and other applications.
