Spray Foam Insulation |
Spray foam insulation is a versatile and effective insulation material used to create a thermal barrier within buildings. It comes in two main types: open-cell and closed-cell. Both open-cell and closed-cell spray foam offer excellent insulation properties and are valued for their ability to seal gaps and cracks, resulting in energy-efficient structures. Here at NHI we offer both Open-Cell and Closed-Cell to cover all of your insulation needs. Want to learn more? View our informative pages about Spray Foam and a helpful guide to help choose.

TimberFill |
TimberFill insulation is a relatively new and environmentally friendly insulation material that is gaining recognition for its unique composition. Made from 100% recycled wood fibers, TimberFill is an eco-conscious choice, by repurposing waste materials, making it a net positive product! It is typically used as a loose-fill insulation, providing exceptional thermal performance in walls and attics. TimberFill is easy to install and offers the greatest loose fill insulation performance - superior to cellulose & fiberglass. Over time, it resists settling better than other traditional insulations, extending the lifetime R-value performance. Timberfill insulation appeals to those seeking sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives for their insulation needs. Want to learn more?

Closed-Cell |
Closed-cell spray foam insulation is a high-performance insulation material known for its exceptional properties. Produced by a two-part atomized spray that expands and hardens forming a dense, closed-cell structure. This foam is versatile and highly effective in our northern climate, offering a superior air and moisture barrier, making it ideal for both interior and exterior applications. Closed-cell spray foam is renowned for its industry leading R-value per inch, making it an excellent choice for maximizing insulation in limited spaces. It provides structural rigidity, increasing racking strength >300%. As the premium performer for insulation, closed-cell spray foam delivers outstanding long-term energy efficiency and is the preferred choice for many energy-conscious builders and homeowners.

FiberGlass |
Fiberglass insulation is a widely used and cost-effective insulation material composed of fine glass fibers. It is available in the form of batts or loose fill. Designed for installation in walls, floors, ceilings or attics, fiberglass insulation is appreciated for its affordability and performance. Fiberglass is a practical choice for many projects. It offers a lower R-value per inch compared to spray foam insulation yet it remains a popular solution for its budget-friendly nature and reliable thermal insulation properties when paired with a properly air barrier.

Cellulose |
Cellulose insulation is an eco-friendly insulation material made from recycled paper and is treated with borax fire retardants. This type of insulation is typically installed as loose-fill in an attic or dense-packed in walls cavities. Cellulose is appreciated for its sustainable nature and effectiveness in thermal performance. It holds the highest sounds transmission coefficient (STC rating) compared to Fiberglass, TimberFill or spray foam, making it a valuable choice for noise dampening. However, over time, loose-fill cellulose insulation will settle, requiring the application of fresh material overtop existing to maintain its overall effectiveness. When installed correctly, cellulose insulation is a practical and environmentally responsible option for homeowners and builders seeking energy-efficient insulation solutions. Want to learn more?

Open Cell
Open-cell spray foam insulation is a type of spray foam insulation known for its unique properties. Produced by a two-part atomized spray, it expands and cures into a porous, spongy, open-cell structure foam. This material is lightweight and cost-effective, making it a popular choice for interior insulation where sound dampening is desired. Open-cell spray foam has excellent sound-dampening qualities and is effective at filling irregular spaces and reducing air infiltration. It is less dense than closed-cell spray foam yet offers a superior R-value compared to traditional materials. It provides an excellent solution while balancing budget.
