attic insulation
Chances are, your home is one of the millions of dwellings in the United States that is under-insulated.
Most existing homes in the Allentown, Bethlehem and Lehigh Valley area are not insulated as well as they should be. If you want to substantially reduce energy costs and decrease the amount of energy required for heating and cooling, this is a great place to start.
Blown-in fiberglass insulation covers every nook and cranny in the attic space, even those inaccessible areas. It can be installed directly over the existing attic insulation. It can also be blown into the side walls of existing homes.
With this in mind, attics need to be insulated to the highest R-value because of its critical location in the flow pattern. In addition, a well insulated attic must be adequately ventilated to prevent moisture accumulation and promote proper air movement. Take a look at our rebates/promotions page to learn more! Contact us today to get started!
We recommend that homeowners insulate their attics to meet the standard state energy code of R-38 or greater. The higher the R-Value, the greater the insulation power.
Anything less than this, can mean wasted money going right through the roof!
attic stairway Insulator
Your attic may be properly insulated, but if your attic stairway access panel is not sealed, your home could still be losing valuable energy. The attic stairway is one of the most overlooked areas of heat loss in many homes, allowing warm air to escape during the winter and unwanted heat to enter during the summer. At Lehigh Valley Insulation, we provide professional attic stairway insulator installation to help homeowners improve energy efficiency, reduce drafts, and maintain more consistent indoor comfort throughout the year.

Lehigh Valley Insulation is experienced at insulating everything from small cottages to more complex, larger homes. Regardless of the size or use of the building, we pride ourselves in doing every job right the first time with superior quality insulation services.
Our company adheres to 3 basic principles:
- Use the best materials available
- Install to the highest standards
- Provide fair and reasonable pricing
Our work at Lehigh Valley Insulation is superior because our employees are paid hourly instead of by piece work. Many insulation installers are paid for speed, not accuracy. All the emphasis is on quantity and not quality. This can result in a high turnover of employees, which leads to inexperienced installers on the job. The insulation installers at Lehigh Valley Insulation are experienced installers, who are detail oriented.
Should you make the decision to have a better insulated home, whether it’s new construction or an older home, call Lehigh Valley Insulation to discuss your insulation service needs.
exterior sidewall
Many older homes throughout the Lehigh Valley were built with little or no insulation in the exterior walls, making it difficult to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and control energy costs. If your home feels drafty, has uneven temperatures between rooms, or your heating and cooling system seems to run constantly, adding insulation to your exterior sidewalls may be the solution.
At Lehigh Valley Insulation, we specialize in professional exterior sidewall insulation services designed to improve energy efficiency, increase comfort, and help reduce heating and cooling expenses. Serving Allentown, Bethlehem, Northampton, and surrounding Lehigh Valley communities, our experienced insulation installers use proven techniques to add insulation to existing walls with minimal disruption to your home.
sound control
Lehigh Valley Insulation has been installing sound material around bathrooms, laundry rooms, home theater rooms and master bedrooms with much success and customer satisfaction.
Consumers are always looking for ways to “soundproof” their homes and diminish unwanted noises from the inside as well as the outside. Minimizing sound transmission through the walls and floors can be accomplished by using loose fill, blown-in fiberglass or unfaced fiberglass sound batting. Using soundproof insulation for walls, completely filling the partition cavity, is an ideal solution to this annoying problem.
Thermafiber Sound Attenuation Fire Blankets (SAFB) are the best way to stop sound in wall and floor-ceiling assemblies. SAFB are manufactured from slag, a by-product of iron-ore reduction and naturally occurring rock. Because of this composition, Thermafiber SAFB is a highly fire resistant insulation. Thus many of the systems this product is used in have high fire ratings as well as sound ratings.
A fire test conducted according to ASTM E119 test procedure showed that Thermafiber insulation remained intact at temperatures in excess of 2,000°F for 5 hours. Tests prove that Thermafiber SAFB is the best performance value for multi-family residential projects, hotels and motels, offices and retail businesses. The mineral fiber blankets are resilient enough to fit around obstacles, yet are rigid enough to stand up well in stud cavities.
removal
Our experienced team has two different industrial insulation vacuums to make insulation removal quick and easy for all types of damaged or contaminated material.
Whether it’s fire, smoke or water damage, blown-in insulation (wet or dry) can be vacuumed and deposited into 75 cubic feet disposable, collection bags or directly into trash dumpsters.
We also remove and dispose of conventional rolled batting as well.
