Q: What are some cons of injection foam?

• <div><p>The most obvious con of injection foam is the cost. It&rsquo;s much more expensive to install than fiberglass or spray foam, but it may be your only option (unless you want to remove entire walls around the home). Another con is that it involves drilling into existing material, which has to be repaired after the foam is injected. Some injection foams are made from products that aren&rsquo;t environmentally friendly, and improper installation can lead to trapped moisture, which can lead to expensive <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-mold-remediation-service-cost.htm">mold remediation</a> down the road. </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 long does fiberglass insulation last?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-should-i-replace-my-insulation.htm">life span of fiberglass insulation</a> can be as long as 80 to 100 years, but because of changing building codes, it&rsquo;s best to get your insulation checked every 10 to 15 years. Signs of degrading fiberglass insulation include bits of batts on the floor or batts detached from frames. Having optimal, healthy insulation in your home will improve its energy efficiency, lowering your monthly bills.</p></div>
