Insulating your home may just be the most important thing to consider right now. Saving energy and money, that’s just smart. Basements, crawl spaces, walls and attics… these areas, if under-insulated, could easily be costing you money and comfort.

Even if your goal is to ensure your home is properly insulated, it’s important to consider the right products for the right areas. Owens Corning makes choosing the proper type of insulation, and proper thickness, easy — you can use their calculators to figure out exactly what you need in those areas where insulation may be lacking. Check it out on the Owens Corning website, here:

Here are just a few of the many Owens Cornings products we carry at Herrman Lumber:

Attics by far are the worst energy hogs. Summer heat infiltrates the attic and penetrates your home, making it harder to cool. Warm heat loss in winter from under-insulated attics could be increasing your energy usage and therefore raising your heating bill. Consider having your attic inspected.

Rolls and batts in precut sizes make installing insulation fairly easy for the DIYer. You may be able to tackle some projects yourself, but you should always consider having a builder installer look at your needs, to get a comparison for the cost for having it done professionally.
