Insulation Services in Chicago for Multi-Unit Buildings
Insulation is vital to maintaining the comfort of any building that provides shelter from the outdoors, but it becomes even more important in buildings with multiple separate units! Insulation slows down heat that transfers between a building and the outside, and it can also provide improved isolation and soundproofing between units or apartments. Areas that are particularly important to insulate include:
Any attic space
Crawl spaces and basements
Exterior walls and walls between units
When a building is properly insulated, it requires less energy to heat and cool throughout the year, reducing energy consumption (and the associated costs) which leaves you with a unit that is more attractive to future tenants and a pleasant surprise for existing ones!
Chicago’s Professional Air Sealing and Weatherization Experts
We deal with enough wind here in Chicago — keep indoor drafts out of your multi unit building when you pair insulation and air sealing in your improvement project. Air sealing is the process of locating and permanently sealing up any holes that allow outdoor air to move in and out of the space, freely. This requires more than what the naked eye can see — we utilize infrared camera imaging and blower door tests to ensure the best results possible.
