Many of us overlook the impacts insulation has on the air quality inside our homes. Believe it or not, it improves our living situations significantly in ways we may not even realize.
The Benefits of Insulation on Indoor Air Quality
Indoor insulation creates a seal separating your home from the outside world. Not only does it protect you from heat during the summer months and cold during the winter, but it also acts as a shield against air pollutants and allergens.
Contaminants will be unable to enter your indoor space with the proper insulation, therefore improving the air quality of your home.
In addition to insulation acting as a barrier against harmful allergens and pollutants, it also:
- Maintains a healthy environment
- Provides thermal comfort
- Improves energy efficiency
- Reduces noise levels from the outside
- Helps prevent condensation
