Our Insulation Solutions | Types of Insulation
-
Fiberglass Insulation
Fiberglass insulation is a type of material that is both environmentally friendly and energy efficient. Fiberglass itself is made of tiny glass fibers that are woven in to a fabric-like material to use as insulation.
Easy To Install
Fiberglass insulation has an incredible flexibility, which means that it can be installed almost anywhere in your home. Recommended uses for fiberglass insulation include; attic, floors, basement, and exterior walls.
Eco-Friendly
Fiberglass insulation is made with a sustainable material, so you don’t need to worry about making a negative impact on the environment with this insulation.
Traps Air & Noise
Fiberglass insulation traps the airflow from the outside, eliminating the transfer of air from outside to inside. The same is true for outside noise, saving you from loud noises.
Energy-Saving
Fiberglass insulation can save homeowners money on energy costs, while improving your home’s energy efficiency.
-
Cellulose
Cellulose insulation is primarily composed of 80–85% recycled paper products. This material is processed into small pieces and treated with fire-resistant and insect-resistant chemicals, making it a safe and effective insulation option for homes.
Benefits of Cellulose Insulation
Energy Efficiency
Cellulose insulation has a high R-value, which means it provides excellent thermal resistance, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs.Eco-Friendliness
Being made from recycled materials, cellulose insulation is one of the most environmentally friendly insulation options.Sound Control
The dense nature of cellulose insulation helps in soundproofing, making it effective in reducing noise transmission between rooms and from outside.Fire Resistance
Treated with fire-retardant boric acid, cellulose insulation has a Class 1 flame spread rating, ensuring safety in case of fire. Boric acid also makes cellulose a pest and insect deterrent.Moisture Control
Cellulose can help protect against air and moisture infiltration, which can reduce the risk of mold growth.Installation Methods
Cellulose insulation can be installed as blown-in or dense-packed insulation. It is typically used in attics and walls, filling gaps and crevices to create a continuous thermal barrier. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper density and coverage. -
Air Sealing Works Best Alongside Insulation
Adding insulation alone doesn't always solve comfort issues if conditioned air can still escape through gaps around windows, plumbing penetrations, attic openings, recessed lighting, and framing connections.
Air sealing helps reduce unwanted air movement before insulation is installed, allowing insulation to perform as intended and supporting more consistent indoor temperatures throughout the home.
Caulk: Ideal for sealing small cracks and seams around stationary objects like window frames & trimWeatherstripping: Used to seal leaky gaps around moving parts like doors and windows.
Expanding Foam: Effective for filling larger leaky gaps and voids, especially around pipes and wiring.
Rigid Foam: Provides a solid barrier against air leakage, often used in attics and crawl spaces.
Air Barriers: Materials like tapes, wraps, or fluid-applied sealants that block air movement through building cavities.
Flashing: Used around windows and doors to prevent water and air infiltration.
Specialized Sealants: In some cases, aerosolized sealant systems or specialized tapes may be used for specific applications.
Benefits of Air Sealing
Improves Comfort: Air sealing helps to eliminate drafts and maintain a consistent temperature throughout your home, making it more comfortable.
Controls Moisture: Air sealing helps control moisture levels, inhibiting mold and mildew growth.
Reduces Wear on HVAC Systems: Reducing the workload on heating and cooling systems extends the lifespan of your home's HVAC equipment.
Improves Indoor Air Quality: Air sealing aids in the prevention of allergens and pollutants from entering your home.

Rockwool Thermal Insulation
Rockwool, also known as stone wool or mineral wool, is an insulation material made by melting natural basalt rock and recycled slag at extremely high temperatures and spinning the molten material into fine fibers.
Thermal Insulation: Rockwool's dense, fibrous structure traps air, providing excellent thermal resistance.
Sound Absorption: The same fibrous structure also absorbs sound, reducing noise pollution from airborne and impact sounds.
Non-Combustible: Rockwool is fire-resistant and can withstand high temperatures, making it a safe choice for fire-rated walls, ceilings, and floors.
Moisture Resistance: Rockwool does not absorb or retain moisture, stopping the growth of mold and mildew.
Durability: Rockwool is a durable material that does not sag or degrade over time, maintaining its insulating and sound-absorbing properties for decades.
Pest Resistance: Rockwool does not appeal to pests or insects, making it a perfect choice for pest-prone areas.
Sustainability: Many Rockwool products are made from recycled materials and are recyclable
Common Uses: Used for insulating walls and floors in homes
It is commonly used in home theaters and interior walls to reduce noise transmission.
Used to insulate ducts and pipes in HVAC systems to improve energy efficiency.

We Measure Existing Insulation Before We Recommend More
Every project begins with evaluating what is already in place.
Our team inspects your existing insulation, measures approximate insulation depth, estimates current R-value where appropriate, and identifies areas where insulation has settled, become compressed, or is missing.
This allows us to recommend the insulation type and installation method that best fits your home instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Why Attic Insulation Matters
A properly insulated attic helps separate your living space from outdoor temperatures.
When warm air escapes into the attic during winter, it can contribute to uneven roof temperatures that may lead to ice dam formation. Proper insulation, combined with appropriate air sealing, helps reduce unwanted heat movement through the attic while improving year-round comfort.
This removes unsupported certainty while still educating.
Our Insulation Process

Insulation Installed for Long-Term Performance
Choosing the right insulation is only part of the equation. Proper installation plays a significant role in how insulation performs over time.
Dynamic Building & Energy Solutions evaluates each home's existing conditions before recommending fiberglass, cellulose, Rockwool, air sealing, or a combination of solutions. Our goal is to provide insulation that supports long-term comfort and energy performance throughout Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Attic Insulation
The attic is one of the most common places for heat loss in New England homes.
Improving attic insulation can help create more consistent indoor temperatures while reducing unnecessary strain on your heating and cooling system. When appropriate, we combine attic insulation with air sealing to reduce unwanted air movement before new insulation is installed.

Insulation Frequently Asked Questions
-
The best insulation depends on your home's structure, energy needs, and budget. In Connecticut and Rhode Island, spray foam insulation is ideal for maximum energy efficiency and air sealing. Blown-in cellulose is great for attics and existing walls, while fiberglass batts work well in open wall cavities. During your free energy assessment, we’ll help you choose the best insulation type for your home and climate.
-
Insulation costs vary depending on your home's size, the type of insulation used, and which areas need treatment (attic, walls, basement, etc.). In Connecticut and Rhode Island, the average cost typically ranges from $1.50 to $4.50 per square foot.
