What is the difference between batt and blown-in fiberglass insulation?
Batt insulation comes in pre-cut panels and is typically used in walls, attics, and floors, while blown-in fiberglass is ideal for hard-to-reach areas and provides a seamless insulation barrier.
How does blower door testing work?
A blower door test depressurizes your home to identify air leaks in your building envelope, helping pinpoint areas that need sealing for improved energy efficiency.
What is ENERGY STAR home certification, and how can my home qualify?
ENERGY STAR certification verifies that a newly constructed home meets high standards for energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR program is administered by the EPA. To qualify, a participating rating company, like Preferred Builder Resources, conducts an inspection and runs a series of tests to ensure your home is well-built and highly energy efficient.
How do hurricane window protection systems work?
Hurricane window protection systems, like Hurricane Fabric’s AstroGuard system, shield your home from high winds and flying debris by securely covering your windows with durable, weather-resistant material.
Other options, like Bahama and Colonial shutters, use top quality aluminium construction to provide powerful protection against storms while keeping your home’s beautiful aesthetic.
