Healthy Homes & Home Performance - Windows

Check out this video to learn what to look for when selecting new windows for your home.

For the PNW climate, we recommend a U-Value of 0.25 or less and SHGC of around 0.25. Fiberglass frames are our favorite as they are the most stable over time and won’t warp like vinyl. Plus, they are paintable if you ever want to change the color without replacing!

Healthy Homes & Home Performance - Insulation

Check out this video to learn more about the different types of insulation, how to check what type and how much your home has, and how to choose and install new insulation. If your home is insulated, it will most likely have fiberglass batt or blown in insulation as it is the most common and cost effective.

Did you know? If your walls don’t have insulation, you can insulate with blown-in! This will make your home more comfortable and also dampen sound.

Guess what? Our favorite insulation is mineral wool!
