How Reliable Is My Insulation? | Koala Insulation of Grand Rapids

Whether you are building a home or business or just making upgrades to your current living space, you deserve to have the best materials installed to contribute to your home’s efficiency and comfort. Insulation is one of those key investments that will pay off in the long run if you do it right!

Insulation can be really durable if the right material is installed in the right place, and we are passionate about helping our customers find the right insulation for them. We explain the longevity of our insulation materials below, so read on to find out more.

Batt Insulation’s Life Span

Batt insulation is one of the insulation materials that we offer that is really eco-friendly. It is made out of glass that has been melted down and spun into long fibers. Those fibers are then woven into those classic pink sheets we all know and love. Batt insulation is budget-friendly and doesn’t settle over time.

Unless your insulation is damaged due to some external force like a storm or fire, it can last up to 80 years or more behind your walls or under your floors!

Blown-In Insulation

Another one of our eco-friendly options is blown-in insulation. Fiberglass, cellulose and mineral wool fibers can make up this loose fill option.

Since it is a loose material rather than a sturdy sheet or rock hard spray foam, it is a bit more vulnerable to varying conditions. Blown-in insulation is known to last 30 to 50 years if it is not exposed to water or excess heat.

Spray Foam’s Durability

Last up is our spray foam insulation! Spray foam insulation packs a punch when it comes to durability and longevity. With the right care and attention to detail, spray foam insulation can easily last for decades or even a century.

Closed-cell spray foam is the most durable insulation option as it is so densely packed and rigid when dry. It is resistant to mold and mildew, and it can even support your home’s structure. 

Koala’s Insulation Removal

Since insulation technically doesn’t last forever, you may find yourself looking for a company that does insulation removal and replacement. Look no further than Koala Insulation of Grand Rapids! Our team can remove any old or worn out insulation and replace it with fresh material for you.
