Superinsulation and High-Performance Wall Assemblies for Minnesota Homes

More Comfort. Healthier Air. Lower Energy Bills.

Your home’s performance starts behind the walls, ceilings, and floors. At Paltrin, we tailor superinsulation levels and advanced wall assemblies to conquer Minnesota’s climate extremes. Stay warm in winter, cool in summer, and enjoy healthier air year-round.

What is Superinsulation?

Superinsulation refers to an extremely high-performance approach to building insulation and energy efficiency in homes. It’s characterized by dramatically reducing heat loss through a combination of insulation, meticulous construction techniques, and integrated design principles. The goal is to minimize the need and size of heating and cooling systems.

Why High-Performance Insulation Matters in Minnesota

Extreme temperatures demand unyielding thermal resistance.

Minnesota’s punishing climate ranges from subzero winters to hot humid summers. Standard insulation levels and techniques often fail to provide the performance you want in your home, leading to drafts, uneven temperatures, and soaring energy bills.

We solve this with building science: smarter insulation that locks in comfort, reduces energy waste, and protects your home long-term.

What Sets Paltrin’s Superinsulation Approach Apart

Beyond code. Beyond expectations.

Optimized Wall Assemblies

We use strategies like double-stud walls, dense-pack cellulose, and continuous exterior insulation. These eliminate thermal bridging and maintain interior peak temperature control in all seasons.

Continuous Air, Vapor, and Thermal Barriers

Our details for seamless barriers stop air leaks, block moisture vapor, and prevent heat loss. This keeps conditioned air in, humidity controlled, and outdoor extremes out.

Blower Door Verified Airtightness

We test every project to ensure your air sealing performs as engineered. No compromises.

Year-Round Benefits for Minnesota Homes

Winter: Traps heat indoors, reducing heating bills and heating demand.
Summer: Blocks heat intrusion, easing AC loads and keeping interiors cool.
Always: Limits air leaks and stabilizes temperatures to reduce humidity swings. This prevents mold, condensation, and clammy discomfort.

Beyond Energy Savings: Healthier, Quieter, Durable Homes

Insulation and air sealing block outdoor noise, allergens, and pollutants while enhancing indoor air quality. The result is a cleaner, calmer, longer-lasting living space.
