Improve Air Quality with Insulation

Every day, your family breathes in over 2,000 gallons of air, which contains dust, pet dander, allergens and harmful chemicals. Many of these pollutants can trigger asthma and allergy attacks, as well as contribute to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). While mobile air purifiers are a popular solution, home insulation is a long-term, cost-effective way to support IAQ and healthier living spaces.

Palomo Insulation insulation can provide multiple benefits for indoor air quality, including air sealing, moisture management and reducing VOC emissions. VOCs are the main contributor to unhealthy indoor environments. The most common sources of VOCs include wood products and varnishes, paints and dyes, and cleaning compounds. Choosing spray foam insulation made of low-VOC, moisture-resistant materials significantly reduces VOCs and other volatile organic compounds.

Choosing the Right Attic Insulation for Hot Climates

Insulation also helps control temperature and humidity levels, which can have a positive impact on IAQ. High humidity can lead to condensation, which in turn fosters mold and microbial growth. Mold spores then circulate in the air, which can cause respiratory and other health issues. Incorporated with smart building technologies, insulation can prevent excess moisture accumulation and promote a healthy indoor environment.

In addition to reducing VOCs, insulation materials such as fiberglass and polyiso also help prevent the infiltration of radon gas, which is a significant risk for residential homes. To support better indoor air quality, select insulation products certified by the Asthma & Allergy Friendly® Certification Program. These products have been tested for sensitizing substances and do not contain any formaldehyde or other harmful flame retardants.
