Do automatic pool covers retain heat?

• <div><p>Yes, an automatic pool cover retains heat. It can act as a thermal blanket because the heavy vinyl traps heat underneath, keeping the water warmer than if there wasn’t a cover. Keeping the pool cover closed when the pool’s not in use can also help reduce water utilities and save on pool chemical costs because there won’t be as much evaporation.</p></div>

Q: Is a vapor barrier required in a crawl space?

• <div><p>In nearly all cases, you are required to install a vapor barrier in your crawl space. However, local regulations will change based on the local climate and the crawl space's susceptibility to moisture. Even if a vapor barrier is not legally required, it is often a good idea to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-steps-protect-your-crawl-space.htm">keep your crawl space dry</a>.</p></div>

Q: Can you have too much insulation in your home?

• <div><p>While adding insulation can be beneficial, there is too much of a good thing. Too much insulation can seal your house to the point where it can't release moisture that enters it&mdash;essentially trapping water vapor inside. Warm, humid climates are extra susceptible to mold from moisture issues, but homes in colder climates can experience condensation from an air-tight home when freezing temperatures thaw.</p></div>

Q: Which floor is warmest in winter?

• <div><p>Excluding carpet, strand-woven bamboo provides excellent underfoot heat. Laminate flooring is also good for insulation and preventing cold feet in the winter. Bamboo tends to work better in climates that have more consistent temperatures, while laminate does a better job at insulating floors in homes that experience more extreme temperature changes, such as the deciduous climates of the northeastern U.S.</p></div>

Q: How much does spray foam insulation cost?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spray-foam-insulation-cost.htm#benefits-of-spray-foam">cost of installing spray foam insulation</a> is <b>$2,760 </b>on average, but this cost can be as low as <b>$650</b> or as high as <b>$7,700</b>. The main cost factor is the size of the insulated area and the type of spray foam insulation. </p><p>Polyurethane spray foam costs between <b>$0.44 and $1.50</b> <b>per board foot</b>, where a board foot is equal to the volume of a one-foot length of a board. More expensive options, like soybean or vegetable oil spray foam, range from $1.50 to $3.00 per board foot.</p></div>

Koala provided blown-in insulation to our attic and foam insulation to the ceiling in our garage. They were professional, polite and respectful of our home. They did a great job and we would recommend them to anyone looking for this type of project.
