The Hidden Cost of Double-Layer Insulation
Products behave differently on-site than they do on the plans, and our team knows exactly where those gaps show up.
Take a ceiling. The difference between a single R7.0 and a double-layer R3.6 is minimal on cost and energy efficiency, so on paper they look interchangeable. They aren't. The second R3.6 layer has to be cut carefully around truss webbing, ducting, wiring, and gaps, and every spot done poorly is a spot that can fail inspection.
Then the other trades come through, disturb that top layer, and it goes back in wrong or not at all, so you pay insulation installers to return and fix work you already paid for. We steer builders toward products that hold their value both in the immediate build and over the long run, cutting compliance risk, site delays, and doubled-up installation costs before they ever land on your invoice.
