New Garage
I built a 1450 sq. ft. garage in the fall and on a concrete slab with in floor heat from a wood fired boiler and used it uninsulated until I found Insulation Police.
Greg travelled an hour and a half for the quote then the following day the crew arrived just before a forecasted cold spell One man was blowing insulation in the attic while the others prepped the 10 foot walls. At the end of the day, job done and the temperature in the building kept rising to +25C from the concrete slab with outside temperature at -15C. There just didn't seem to be any heat loss with the building and I had to change my operating parameters for the boiler to slower pump rates and wood consumption dropped to about what you might use for a recreational wood stove in a house.
The building also became a sanctuary from Summer heat as it was nice and cool inside.
When I build the house, insulation Police will be back.
Answer from pro:
John in your project which you are using wood to heat, we are actually using wood to insulate! The Wall-bar insulation system is a wood based compound made up of recycled cardboard and newspaper treated with borate making it fire, insect, rodent and mildew resistant. We look forward to working with you on your new home project in the near future! thank you for the review, Greg
