As a building contractor, your clients are likely to come to you for advice on their best options for home insulation. Your experience and knowledge of the various insulation products on the market will help give your clients the most accurate information possible so that they can make informed decisions.
As you will know, there are a number of things to consider before choosing an insulation product. In this blog we will take you through a quick recap of some of the most important aspects to keep in mind when presenting your clients with their options.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Insulation Provider
Quality and reputation
In almost every aspect of life, you get what you pay for. The same applies to your insulation provider. No-name brands are unfortunately not going to offer you the same level of quality as that of a brand with an established reputation. Choose a reputable brand backed by satisfied customers, industry accreditations, and safety scores.
Environmental impact
More and more homeowners and developers are raising their standards in terms of their environmental consciousness. Eco-friendliness is an essential factor to consider when choosing an insulation solution for your projects. Your chosen insulation should be manufactured using materials that don’t harm the environment, and are safe for the building’s occupants. Ultimately, it should also help the building reduce its overall carbon footprint and energy usage.
Ease of application
The insulation products you select should make your team’s life simpler, not harder. The insulation application phase should be as streamlined as possible in order to ensure a professional installation. Look for an insulation product that has been designed for ease of application, with pre-cut segments that will allow your team to maximize their time and not waste it by having to cut rolls or boards to size.
