It is created by mixing an isocyanate, like Methylene Diphenyl Isocyanate (MDI) along with a polyol. When these components are mixed together it forms a foam.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The resulting material is a lightweight polymer having superior insulating properties. Compared to other building materials, polyurethane insulation has a high thermal resistance and a low thermal conductivity \u2013 one of the major factors when looking for ways to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/reduce-electricity-bills-this-summer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reduce electricity bills<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is the most used insulation material in Pakistan. It is also <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">used to insulate deep freezers and refrigerators, so it\u2019s quite good at keeping temperatures hot or cold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spray polyurethane insulation foam is a kind of foam sprayed on walls and on the roof to protect the house from heat and cold. Once it dries up it turns into solid insulation material. It keeps the roof cool and protects the building from penetration of moisture, cold air and sound. Its impressive R-value does not let the heat transfer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can cut down energy bills to 30 or even 50 percent. People usually spray polyurethane foam on the roof, walls and also in crawl spaces to create an air barrier. It is also used in attic insulation. Some of the benefits are mentioned below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promises high thermal resistance and reduced heat transfer, lowering utility costs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prevents prevent moisture in the walls and removes condensation and mold<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does not allow unwanted pollen, dust and allergens, etc. from entering the house thus ensuring improved air quality\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduces air-conditioning needs by 50 percent\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Polystyrene insulation<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_64251\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64251\" style=\"width: 880px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-64251 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-71-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Insulate your house using polystyrene insulation\" width=\"880\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-71-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-71-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-71-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-71-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-71.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-64251\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Polystyrene insulation keeps the house protected from sun damage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polystyrene insulation, more commonly known as \u2018thermopore\u2019 in Pakistan, is another popular type of insulation for homes. It is used to keep the roof cool in summers and warm in winters. The extruded polystyrene \u2013 with no pores is a good option for insulating homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polystyrene is a synthetic\u00a0hydrocarbon polymer made from styrene. It is either used in the form of a foam or in solid form as well. Polystyrene is hard and brittle. It is a poor barrier to oxygen and water vapour and has a low melting point.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This makes it an excellent insulation for homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polystyrene is a waterproof foam. It comes in two forms, expanded form (EPS) and extruded form (XEPS). Both are widely used in the country when it comes to different types of insulation for homes. The extruded form has a close-cell structure and has a higher thermal resistance making it ideal for insulating homes. Usually, polystyrene foam is cut into blocks. The foam is of flammable material and must be coated in a chemical i.e. Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), which will make it fireproof. This chemical has some environmental risks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is usually recommended to insulate the house at the time of construction, where the sheets are placed inside the walls and covered with cement or concrete. But in case you haven\u2019t used polystyrene insulation at the time of construction, you can still use the foam on the walls. Once it dries, then apply cement or concrete on it. It is going to be a costly process though. The benefits of polystyrene insulation is mentioned below:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insulation that guarantees complete sound-proof environment<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excellent waterproofing capabilities<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The low thermal conductivity keeps the house cool in summers and warm in winters<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a blown-in foam that can seal any cracks in the house foundation or in roof.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it is dry, you can easily cut out holes for electric wiring.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Fiberglass insulation<\/b><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_64249\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64249\" style=\"width: 880px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-64249 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-2-60-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"One of the best types of insulation for homes is fiberglass insulation\" width=\"880\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-2-60-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-2-60-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-2-60-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-2-60-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-2-60.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-64249\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fiberglass insulates the house perfectly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s impossible to discuss types of insulation for homes without mentioning fiberglass.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/fiberglass-wall-panels-advantages-installation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">usage of fiberglass in wall panels<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a new home decor trend, the material has long been used in building insulation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiberglass consists of extremely fine glass fibers. It is a kind of plastic reinforced with fine shards of glass. Having high thermal resistance, fiberglass is dense with some air pockets in it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hire a professional company to install fiberglass insulation in your walls. The procedure needs protective gear: proper gloves, face masks and clothing to install fiberglass. If you come in direct contact with fiberglass you will get itchiness, respiratory problems and skin rashes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before installing fiberglass you need to be sure there are no leaks and cracks. Seal any draft you may find before installing fiberglass batts. Some of the advantages of installing fiberglass insulation are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resistant to moisture damage<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-flammable<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simple installation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher thermal resistance\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most cost-effective insulating option as compared to others<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Rockwool insulation<\/b><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_64261\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64261\" style=\"width: 880px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-64261 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-72-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Rockwool insulation\" width=\"880\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-72-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-72-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-72-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-72-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/image-1-72.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-64261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rockwool insulation is one of the best types of insulation for homes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s quite a popular choice when it comes to types of insulation in Pakistan, mostly owing to the ease it provides during installation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rockwool, also known as mineral wool, usually comes in easy-to-install batts, just like fiberglass. But rockwool isn\u2019t composed of shards of glass. It is, instead, made up of \u2013 you guessed it right \u2013 rocks. How is that even possible? Let us find out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hardy rock is heated in a furnace where it takes about 3,000 degrees to melt it into liquid. This hot liquid is spun at super-high speed until it forms long fiber strands. It forms the similar strategy that a cotton candy machine follows. These strands are then compressed into dense matts. These are then cut into convenient-sized batts for insulation of homes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In house construction, rockwool is used in walls, ceiling, and attic, even in crawl spaces. Since it is highly fire-resistant, the material can also be used as a firestop between floors. Some of the benefits are mentioned below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Made from natural material<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comprises 75 percent of recycled content<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stops the transfer of heat and cold effectively<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extremely fire-resistant<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repels water and makes the environment sound proof<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rockwool requires low maintenance<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can be fit in tight spaces too<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_64267\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64267\" style=\"width: 1440px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-64267 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IGs-5.jpg\" alt=\"insulation methods in Pakistan\" width=\"1440\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IGs-5.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IGs-5-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IGs-5-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IGs-5-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/IGs-5-640x400.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-64267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Let us compare all the factors of different insulation materials in Pakistan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose the best option from the aforementioned types of insulation to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/tips-avoiding-high-ac-bills.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keep your house cool in the scorching summer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> heat and reduce AC bills. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more updates, stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/zameen.com\/blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best lifestyle blog in Pakistan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
