Spray foam Insulation Contractor can save energy costs year-round by creating a air seal in the building envelope of your home or business. It can also help you meet energy code requirements for your specific climate. Spray foam has a much higher R-value per inch than fiberglass or cellulose and it is able to fit in nooks, crannies, and corners that cannot be insulated with other products.
Unlike fiberglass insulation, which is made from glass or cellulose, spray foam has a cellular structure that creates an effective barrier against heat transfer. This makes it more efficient than traditional insulation materials in cold weather. It also helps your HVAC system run more efficiently by keeping the indoor temperature stable and preventing air leaks.
Eco-Friendly Benefits of Using Spray Foam Insulation
A professional installer will use a high-end, specially designed rig to mix and spray the insulation. This will ensure the foam is mixed properly and is at the correct temperature for the best results. This rig will have a computer inside that helps the technician monitor everything and adjust as necessary. During the spraying and curing process, it is recommended that homeowners stay out of the house until it is completed. The spraying and curing process will off-gas large amounts of volatile organic compounds.
Open-cell spray foam is a good option for insulating walls and roofs, but closed-cell is better for attics because it doesn’t allow moisture to penetrate into the structure and is physically stronger. It will also create an effective vapor barrier on its own, eliminating the need for the homeowner to apply one themselves after the spray dries.
