While insulating exterior walls is standard procedure in residential construction, this isn’t always the case with a home’s interior walls. Actually, many homebuilders neglect to insulate interior walls altogether, which often results in second-rate efficiency and poor soundproofing. For this reason, adding insulation to interior walls can be an inexpensive yet effective way to improve both the comfort and energy efficiency of your home.
Insulation not only improves each room’s heat retention, it also offers better sound reduction throughout the home. This can be especially beneficial regarding bathrooms, where noise from running water and plumbing fixtures can disrupt a peaceful home environment. Combined with a decrease in energy costs year round, it’s easy to see why adding insulation to interior walls can be an advantageous upgrade.
While adding insulation to your interior walls isn’t an especially expensive investment, it’s even more economical to do it during a home remodeling project. Some contractors will cut corners with insulation, but a contractor that’s focused on Green building practices will take every opportunity to improve your home’s energy efficiency.
