Insulation Products for Heat, Humidity, and Air Sealing

South Florida performance usually comes down to air leakage control and moisture behavior. Spray foam options often excel here, while other products can be ideal when ventilation, budget, or assembly design matters most.

Where Each Insulation Type Works Best

Attics, walls, metal buildings, and crawl spaces behave differently. This hub maps products to the most common applications so you can avoid overspending on the wrong material or underperforming with the wrong install method.

How to Choose the Right Insulation Type

If you are comparing options, the right question is not only R value. It is how the product behaves with air movement, moisture, and the location of the insulation in the building.

Moisture and Air Leakage Considerations

  • Air sealing often impacts comfort more than small R value differences
  • Moisture behavior changes based on where insulation is installed
  • Installation quality matters as much as material selection

For general guidance on insulation and air sealing, Energy Star has a useful overview: Energy Star insulation and air sealing guidance.

Residential vs Commercial Product Selection

  • Commercial spaces often prioritize durability, code alignment, and assembly design
  • Residential projects often prioritize comfort, noise, and operating cost reduction
  • Retrofits may favor materials that install cleanly with minimal disruption

For project types, see new construction and retrofit insulation.

Insulation Products FAQ

Quick answers for the most common product selection questions we hear from homeowners and businesses.

Which insulation product is best for attics in hot climates?

It depends on your attic design, ventilation, and whether air sealing is a priority. Spray foam and blown in insulation are common attic solutions, with different strengths based on the goal and assembly.

Start here: blown in insulation and open cell spray foam.

Do rigid foam boards make sense for crawl spaces?

Rigid foam can be a strong option when you need continuous coverage and better control over thermal bridging, especially when paired with proper sealing and moisture management.

Learn more: rigid foam insulation.

How do I decide between open cell and closed cell spray foam?

Open cell is often chosen for interior assemblies and sound control, while closed cell is often chosen for higher R value per inch and added moisture resistance in specific applications.

Compare: open cell vs closed cell.

Can I qualify for insulation tax credits?

Some projects may qualify depending on product ratings and program requirements. Review our resource page, then confirm eligibility during your estimate.
