Well, the walls of your home were made with a space between the two sides of the walls to provide a barrier that is able to keep water from penetrating into your home. Air is also able to move trough freely across the barrier. This air can make is difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature inside, costing you more to heat your home. By insulating the cavities of your home you can reduce heating usage and cost. This is also a way to contribute to the care of the environment by creating less CO2 emissions

What will you need to insulate the cavities? There are different kinds of materials used to fill the cavities in the walls. These materials will keep the air flow down and retain the heat inside the home
