What Is Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray Foam Insulation is formed with the spray application and reaction of two liquid materials that combine at the gun, creating a chemical reaction. As the liquid is sprayed it penetrates cracks and crevices and within seconds turns to foam expanding 30 times its original liquid volume. Within minutes the foam becomes a hard, seamless surface resulting in a weather tight, thermal membrane that is fully adhered to the substrate.
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
There are many consumer benefits to Spray Foam Insulation over traditional fiberglass or cellulose methods:
Spray Foam reduces energy costs by filling every nook and cavity, leaving no holes, cracks, or seams for outside air to get in or inside air to escape out. With a higher R-Value than traditional fiberglass or blown in cellulose insulations, Spray Foam Insulation will never settle, sag, or shrink. Spray Foam Insulation technology is state of the art when it comes to insulation because of its continuous air and moisture prevention and thermal barrier protection.
- Penetration of difficult places such as: spaces between plywood, floor boards, electrical outlets, plumbing pipes and vents, or the underside of roof and sheathings.
- Superior resistance to heat transfer, nearly double to that of fiberglass (in R-Value). This translates to significant heating and cooling savings that will start paying for itself immediately.
- Higher quality airtight insulation allows for smaller sized heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems (HVAC).
- Resists condensation, inhibits rot and retards mold.
- Reduces outside noise pollution for a peaceful environment.
- Increases structural integrity providing approximately 40% more strength.
