Types of Insulation

Where to insulate & which materials to use

Do you need to insulate a new home you’re building? Interested in re-insulating your home? MIG Building Systems offers different insulation solutions to help you maximize the energy efficiency of your home and save money.

Fiberglass Insulation

Fiberglass insulation is one of the most widely used types of insulation, and it can be installed as a blanket system of rolls and batts.

Cellulose Insulation

One of the most environmentally friendly types of insulation available, cellulose is made of up to 80% recycled material. It is also one of the best types of insulation for soundproofing.

Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam is ideal for all the small cracks, gaps and crevices behind your walls. It can help eliminate the air leaks that can cause your energy bills to skyrocket.

Rigid Foam Insulation

Rigid foam, or rigid board, insulation is available as a foam panel that can be cut. It’s mainly used for new construction insulation projects.

Rockwool Insulation

Made of rocks and minerals spun into small, high temperature-resistant fibers, Rockwool (or mineral wool) insulation is used for a variety of applications.

Icynene Insulation

A spray foam insulation often installed between floor joists, and around wiring, piping and ductwork. It’s great for maximizing energy efficiency!

Radiant Barrier Insulation

Here at MIG, we don’t offer radiant barrier insulation. However, this type of insulation is ideal for warm climates. It is installed in the attic, right under the roof, to help your home reflect, rather than absorb, heat from the sun.

"I am writing you about account manager John Geska. He was great help to me in getting my old fireplace replaced. He answered all my questions, returned all my calls and confirmed the date for the installation. I will recommend him to my friends, family and neighbors. When I need more work on my house, he’ll be the first on I call."
