SANDY CITY INSULATION SERVICES – INTERWEST INSULATION

Local Connection: Sandy, Utah

Perched on the bench below Little Cottonwood Canyon, Sandy faces fierce canyon winds in spring and lake-effect snow in winter.

 Many split-levels from the 1970s still rely on thin attic insulation, while recent luxury builds tout soaring windows that bleed conditioned air whenever Wasatch gusts kick up.

We air-seal every penetration, raise attics to R-60, and add radiant-barrier baffles that reflect high-altitude sun before it reaches the fiberglass. For homes closer to Rio Tinto Stadium, we fit sound-control batts in media rooms so match-day chants stay outside. Families report steadier indoor temps during canyon inversions and smaller Rocky Mountain Gas bills—leaving more cash for ski passes or Real Salt Lake tickets.
