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 useage.
Environmental Benefits
Spray foam insulation may be the best thing for the environment in an array of environmentally-friendly products. It emits no CO2 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.
No Health Issues
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.
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.
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.
Why Choose Spray Foam Insulation over Fiberglass Batt?
| FIBERGLASS BATT | SPRAY FOAM INSULATION |
| Allows air to pass easily through | Creates an airtight, moisture resistant seal |
| Does not expand; allows gaps for air and moisture intrusion | Expands to seal and insulate cavities, cracks and crevices |
| Can hold and allow moisture entry | Repels/deflects water |
| Rated R-value dependent on “perfect” application; compresses easily, losing insulating value | Will not compress, settle, shrink or sag; delivers a more consistent, long-term R-value |
| Does not provide structural reinforcement | Adds strength and rigidity to the wall assembly |
