Melbourne Insulation Installation Experts

Causes of Poor Insulation

While skyrocketing energy bills and poor temperature regulation are typically the first signs of insulation issues, insulation can cause many other problems. From allergies to increased noise from your outside neighbors, the effects of poor insulation can negatively impact your time at home.

There are several common causes of poor insulation, including:

• Age: Living in an older home increases the likelihood of poor insulation. Over time, insulation fibers deteriorate and become less energy efficient.
• Outside Contaminants: Cracks in your home's exterior may allow insulation-harming foreign contaminants, including pests, dirt, and moisture, to enter the insulation.
• Electrical Stresses: The structural integrity of the insulation in your home can be irreparably damaged by electrical spikes in nearby wires.

Services Offered

Koala Insulation of The Space Coast provides comprehensive insulation services for Melbourne, Palm Bay, and Rockledge homeowners.

If you're interested in installing new insulation, consider one of our three unique insulation solutions:

• Batt Insulation: This type of insulation comes in pre-cut rolls and sheets made from organic cotton, fiberglass, or mineral wool. We install it in sheet form between studs in attics, floors, and walls.
• Blown-In Insulation: Small pieces of cellulose, denim, mineral wool, or fiberglass are blown through a hose to fill cavities in attics, walls, and ceilings. The result is a thick, fluffy layer of insulation without gaps in coverage.
• Spray Foam Insulation: As the name implies,  spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is sprayed against your walls. The SPF's thickening properties allow it to harden against the wall and create a noise- and leak-preventing barrier.

If you're interested in removing faulty insulation or further improving your insulation's efficiency, we can help there, too:

• Solar Attic Fans: The attic can be a hot air trap, increasing already-high home temperatures in the summer. Installing a Solar Attic Fan improves air circulation and attic insulation efficiency. Since it operates on solar energy, it won't increase your monthly utility costs.
• Air Sealing: Small gaps in your doorways, window frames, recessed lighting, and other areas can let in drafts from outside. Our sealant stops leaks and improves the boundaries between your home and the outside world.
• Insulation Removal: Our team can remove damaged insulation from ceilings, floors, walls, crawl spaces, and attics.
• Crawl Space Services: The crawl space can be a source of leaks and air drafts. We'll inspect the area for leaks and install crawl space insulation where it's needed.
• Builder Services: If you have a larger project, we partner with local builders on residential, industrial, and commercial projects to ensure your new building's insulation is done right.
