Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is a powerful tool for addressing issues such as drafty rooms, high energy costs and insufficient pest-proofing. Unlike aluminum radiant barrier sheathing, which is typically used only in attics, spray foam can be applied to all parts of a home or business. In addition, it can be sprayed in corners and other difficult-to-reach areas.
The primary benefit of spray foam insulation is its ability to seal air and create a custom thermal envelope. This prevents heat from escaping in the winter, and helps cool the building during the summer. In this way, it reduces the need to run a HVAC system, and can save homeowners 50% on their energy bills right away.
The Environmental Benefits of Choosing Spray Foam Insulation
Foam also works as a sound-proofing agent, which means that homes and businesses can enjoy quieter living environments. Outside noises and road traffic will no longer penetrate through walls, ceilings, and floors, helping to provide a peaceful environment.
Unlike some insulation varieties, spray foam lasts for decades without degrading significantly, saving homeowners money in the long run. It also helps reduce the need for re-insulation, which can be very costly over time.
Because the airtight seal created by spray foam prevents outside air from entering a home, it makes it impossible for mold spores, mildew and other pollutants to find their way indoors. These contaminants can clog and restrict the flow of HVAC system air, leading to poor indoor air quality and potentially health-related problems.
