Benefits of Re-Insulating Your Home
If your Charleston home is more than a few decades old, it’s likely that not only is some of the insulation damaged and in need of replacement, but also that it was underinsulated to begin with.
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy recommends that homes in the Charleston area have insulation rated between R-30 and R-60 in the attic, R-25 in the floors, R-19 to R-25 in crawl spaces and R-13 to R-19 in the exterior walls.
By retrofitting your home to modern insulation standards and replacing old, damaged insulation, you can enjoy these great benefits:
- Improved comfort year-round
- Better air quality and humidity control
- Lower heating and cooling costs
- Less load on the HVAC system
- Longer HVAC service life
- Removal of contaminated insulation

Our Insulation Products
At IBP Charleston, we offer retrofit insulation services for residential and commercial facilities, and we feature high-performance insulation products that include:
- Spray foam insulation: A two-part liquid, spray foam expands as it is mixed and applied, filling voids and adhering tightly to nearby surfaces. Once cured, it offers excellent thermal performance and air sealing.
- Fiberglass batts: Sized for a friction fit between common rafter, joist and wall stud spacings, fiberglass batts are an economical choice with good thermal performance and an optional kraft facing that acts as a vapor barrier.
- Blown-in insulation: Installed with a specialized machine, blown-in cellulose and blown-in fiberglass offer good thermal performance and air sealing, and are an excellent choice for re-insulation. A small opening between each pair of studs, joists or rafters is all that’s needed for installation, with minimal damage and remodeling.
