Spray Foam Insulation – Quality Insulation For Your Home

Spray foam insulation is a highly effective, long-lasting, and cost-effective solution for home builders and homeowners alike. It can be installed in basement rim joist, crawl spaces, overhangs (or cantilevers), knee walls, and bonus rooms. When sprayed, it expands to fill every corner of the building envelope for thermal and air sealing. These areas are where the most energy is lost in homes and buildings.

In addition to reducing your energy bills, spray foam insulation makes your house more comfortable for you and your family. It eliminates drafts and helps to control noise in the building. It also prevents conditioned air from escaping and unconditioned air from entering, which reduces the strain on mechanical systems that must heat and cool the buildings.

When comparing different types of insulation, it is important to understand that the R-value of a material depends on how well it is installed. Some types of insulation (such as blankets and boards) can be easily installed by homeowners, while others require professional installation.

The Science of Insulation: Delving Into Spray Foam Technology

If you are considering installing spray foam insulation, it is important to consult with a professional who can ensure the product is installed correctly. They can recommend the right R-value for your home. They can also help you decide whether to choose open or closed-cell spray foam and provide advice on safety concerns.

Unlike fiberglass, which can be handled as a DIY project, spray foam requires professional installation. The chemicals used to create the insulation produce fumes that must be properly ventilated. In addition, the application process requires specialized equipment that must be operated by trained professionals. The chemicals used in the process are abrasive to the skin and eyes, so protective gloves, goggles, respirators and full body coverings are required when working with it.
