Building a house means lots of decisions, which can be a very overwhelming process for home buyers. Luckily, the process of choosing insulation just got easier, thanks to a new mobile-friendly, web-based tool from CertainTeed. By answering a few simple questions, homeowners can easily find and choose the best insulation systems for every area of their home.
“Too many insulation choices can be mind-boggling, especially for a homeowner who is undertaking a major remodeling project or building a new house,” says Greg Silvestri, president of CertainTeed Insulation. “What’s behind the wall matters and upgrading insulation later is difficult, disruptive and expensive. But now with just a few clicks, homeowners can achieve a comfortable, healthy living environment that provides utility savings and investment protection in the long run.”
Found at http://www.certainteed.com/myinsulation, the Insulation Selector Tool works by recommending a personalized selection of insulation solutions based on climate data, budget and the homeowner’s specific needs for their home and family. The tool considers a wide range of variables that impact comfort, including energy efficiency, family allergies, moisture management and noise control. Each question within the tool includes a quick tip, allowing homeowners to learn more about each consideration involved in choosing the right insulation along the way.
Upon completion of the questionnaire, homeowners receive a personalized page of results detailing the specific insulation solutions that are recommended for them, sorted by application area (side walls, interior walls, attics and basements). Results can be easily shared with a builder or contractor via email, or if the homeowner does not already have an installer, recommendations can be quickly found utilizing the Find a Pro links from the tool.
