The Role of Insulation in Enhancing Commercial Building Performance
Proper insulation not only enhances energy efficiency but also creates a tight building envelope that helps protect your property from the elements.
At G&M Services, we specialize in professionally installing insulation designed specifically for commercial buildings. Proper insulation not only enhances energy efficiency but also creates a tight building envelope that helps protect your property from the elements. Commercial insulation serves a variety of functions, and there are several types to consider during construction, including thermal, reflective, and board insulation. No matter which option you choose, G&M Services has the expertise to install it correctly, ensuring your building stays comfortable, efficient, and well-protected. Keep reading to discover everything you need to know about insulation for commercial properties!
Thermal Insulation Within Your Commercial Buildings and Properties
Installing thermal insulation is a crucial step in the construction of commercial buildings. This type of insulation acts as a true protective barrier within ceilings, floors, and walls, helping to maintain temperature control by keeping heat or cooling inside the building. Beyond energy efficiency, thermal insulation also enhances soundproofing and contributes to fire safety, two critical factors in high-density structures like apartment buildings, where noise control and fire risk are major concerns. For additional fire protection solutions, G&M Services also offers professional firestop installation to help keep your building safe and secure.
Reflective Building Insulation
Reflective insulation, often called foil insulation in commercial construction, offers long-lasting durability and excellent resistance to moisture. Unlike some other insulation types, it does not degrade over time and can effectively serve as a vapor barrier, making it ideal for protecting buildings against weather-related issues. Additionally, reflective insulation is non-toxic, providing a safer option compared to certain harsher materials. However, it can pose an electrical hazard in structures with faulty wiring, so professional assessment and careful installation are essential for safety and optimal performance.
Board Building Insulation
Board insulation may not be as widely known, but it’s a highly effective option for specialized commercial building applications. This rigid insulation is installed between walls, ceilings, and floors to provide structural and thermal support. At G&M Services, we utilize trusted fire-rated brands, including Thermafiber, Owens Corning, and Rockwool, for all fire-related board insulation projects. Notably, Thermafiber is SAFETY Act Designated and award-winning, offering added protection and helping to reduce liability in the unlikely event of an accident.
