- The Highest R-Values Per Inch.
- Spray Foam Air Seals The Entire Building Envelope.
- Spray Polyurethane Foam Can Act As Both An Air And A Vapor Barrier.
- Stops air and moisture infiltration.
- Makes your home more comfortable.
- Saves on energy costs
Adds strength to the building structure. - It is permanent and will not sag.
- Reduces capacity requirements, maintenance and wear of HVAC equipment.
- Certified air and vapor barrier.
All of the spray foam insulation products that we use are from the best manufacturers on the market. This will help to ensure that the spray-on insulation that we install will last for years to come, which can save you lots of money on heating and cooling costs over time. Furthermore, we will be able to notice and seal up small cracks and crevices that many of our competitors wouldn’t find, and this will help to ensure that your home is as energy-efficient as possible.
Types of Spray Foam
Open Cell
Open-cell SPF is the lighter, less dense option; it is the cheaper of the two but has less insulating power (or a lower R-value). Small imperfections in the building envelope (holes, cracks, gaps) not properly sealed will eventually lead to poor building performance or worse, moisture accumulation, allergen/pathogen growth, and very possibly structural failure. The solid nature and sealing capability of closed-cell spray foam, inhibits moisture-driven elements. Two inches of closed-cell spray polyurethane foam insulation will minimize air infiltration, exfiltration, convection, conduction and control solar driven moisture in the building envelope.
Closed Cell
Closed-cell SPF is denser and more expensive, can provide a bit more rigid support to certain structures and can act as a water vapor barrier, because it is less permeable. The blowing agent is captured within the cells which contributes to highly efficient insulating properties. In addition, closed-cell foam provides an inherent air barrier with low moisture vapor permeability, and excellent resistance to water. The density for closed-cell spray foam is approximately two pounds per cubic foot. The medium density foam provides sheer and racking strength to wall assemblies in building applications.
