SPRAY FOAM APPLICATIONS

Spray Foam Applications

When it comes to insulation no competing product can compare to the features of spray foam.

Spray foam is a high quality product that is the best insulating material on the market today. It is sprayed in place and expands immediately after being applied, to fill in all voids, gaps, and cracks.
 

Spray foam insulation meets the latest demand trends for energy-efficiency and green construction. Unsurpassed air barrier and high R-value gives spray foam a distinct advantage over other insulating products, providing homeowner’s financial savings of 40% or more off of their heating and cooling bills.
 

Wall racking strength also increases to up to three times stronger than with conventional insulation in framed walls and with the restriction in air movement and moisture accumulation, the possibility of mold growth is extremely unlikely.

Energy Efficient Homes Are More Valuable

Builders of energy-efficient homes are wise to promote and market the value of energy-efficient features to consumers.

Lower Energy Consumption

Whether it is whole home insulation, retro-fitting an existing attic or spraying foam in a basement, all solutions have a dramatic effect on your monthly energy consumption.
Typical applications may see a result of 50% reduction in heating and cooling costs. Important to note, is not only will a great reduction in energy consumption be produced, a vast reduction in your carbon emissions will also be seen in correspondence with the reduction of energy usage.

Moisture Control

There are important differences to note between spray foam insulation systems and conventional insulation materials. The primary characteristic is that spray foam does not sag, settle, or shrink over time. Spray foam insulation is spray applied to fill cavities of any shape offering a continuous air barrier and it stays in place.

Because conventional insulation does not directly bond to the substrate, the chance of the insulation material sagging overtime is high. If conventional insulation is not properly installed around irregular framing areas or it sags in the wall cavity, voids of 1-2% can lower the effective R-value of traditional insulation materials by 25-40%.

Indoor Air Quality

According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), indoor air quality is a major concern. Spray foam insulation battles this problem in two ways. Foam insulation is devoid of emissions and contaminants. It also improves the situation by nearly eliminating all unwanted moisture intrusion and related mold issues. This is also good news for people suffering from asthma, allergies and other respiratory ailments.

Unlike more traditional methods of insulation in today’s markets, spray foam insulation is free of all HFAs, HCFCs, HFCs, and formaldehyde. Once spray foam has cured and is in place, the final product is chemically dead and contains no health risks.

Environmental Benefits

Spray foam insulation may be the best thing for the environment in an array of environmentally-friendly products. It emits no COâ‚‚ of its own while it reduces heating and cooling related emissions by about 50% for new constructions and by even more in certain retrofit situations. Foam insulation will last for the life of the building, and will deliver peak performance. No formaldehyde, no ozone-depleting ingredients and no emissions of any kind – environmentally friendly.

Sound Control

Sound waves are transmitted by different media, including air. The most drastic noise dampening occurs when the home or building is completely airtight.
The super soft nature of open cell foam insulation not only provides an extraordinary air seal but also absorbs secondary reverberations for excellent sound dampening properties.
