Why we use it
BCG studies insulation alongside HVAC, attic strategy, vapor control, and the Louisiana climate.
Character
The best insulation work is mostly invisible. The result is comfort, quiet, efficiency, and fewer moisture problems.
What we look for
Appropriate R-value, air sealing continuity, moisture behavior, installation quality, and compatibility with mechanical design.
Design considerations
Assemblies should be selected before construction details are drawn too far, especially at rooflines and transitions.
Installation considerations
Gaps, compression, thermal bridging, and unsealed penetrations can undermine even expensive insulation.
Common mistakes
Thinking only about R-value, ignoring air leakage, or insulating without a moisture strategy.
Maintenance + aging
Insulation should remain dry and undisturbed. Any water intrusion should be investigated promptly.
