can u explain to me why or give me a link of a website, my guess is because it absorbs the remaining heat during winter time
Insulation is a material that slows down the transfer of heat between two surfaces. In your home, it is typically installed in the walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent the escape of heat in the winter and the entry of heat in the summer. This helps to maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home.
There are several types of insulation, including fiberglass, cellulose, foam, and mineral wool. These materials come in different forms such as batts, rolls, loose-fill, and spray foam. Each type has its own unique properties and is suitable for different areas of your home.
You can check the insulation levels in your home by looking in the attic, crawl space, or behind walls. If you can see the floor joists in your attic or feel drafts near windows and doors, it may be a sign that you need more insulation. You can also hire a professional to perform an energy audit to determine the areas of your home that need more insulation.
Insulation helps to reduce your energy bills by keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. It also helps to improve the comfort of your home by reducing drafts and maintaining a consistent temperature. Additionally, insulation can help to reduce outside noise and improve the overall energy efficiency of your home.
While some types of insulation, such as batts or rolls, can be installed by homeowners, it is recommended to hire a professional for more complex projects. A professional will have the necessary expertise and equipment to properly install insulation in hard-to-reach areas and ensure that it is done correctly for maximum efficiency.
