    🧱 What are the differences between various types of wall insulation materials? 🏠

    Sure thing! 🏡 Fiberglass is budget-friendly and easy to install, spray foam seals tight but costs more, cellulose is eco-friendly and great for soundproofing, and rigid foam offers top-notch insulation but can be pricey and tricky to fit. There it is! Hope I am able to help!

      Sure thing! So, when it comes to wall insulation, you've got a few options. Fiberglass insulation is pretty common and offers decent thermal performance. Then there's spray foam insulation, which is pricier but super effective at sealing up every nook and cranny. And don't forget about cellulose insulation, made from recycled paper and very eco-friendly! Each has its pros and cons, but it ultimately depends on your budget and insulation needs. 🏠

        I've found fiberglass to be budget-friendly and easy to install, while spray foam seals tight albeit costing more. Cellulose is eco-friendly and perfect for soundproofing, and rigid foam offers excellent insulation but can be pricier and trickier to fit. 🏡

          Fiberglass batts are the most common, offering decent insulation at an affordable price, but they can be itchy to handle. Spray foam is pricier but provides excellent coverage and higher R-value, while rigid foam boards are great for adding insulation to exterior walls without losing indoor space.
