Insulation techniques
Insulation techniques involve protecting spaces from unwanted heat transfer—keeping warmth in during winter and out during summer. Common methods include installed materials like fiberglass batts, foam boards, spray foam, or mineral wool, which create barriers to slow heat flow. Proper insulation is usually placed in walls, ceilings, and floors, often combined with vapor barriers to prevent moisture issues. The choice of technique depends on the climate, building design, and budget. Effective insulation improves energy efficiency, reduces utility costs, and enhances indoor comfort by maintaining a stable temperature.
