Unlike fiberglass insulation, spray foam insulation is sprayed on-site in an airtight and sealed envelope. This makes it the most energy-efficient product available and results in savings of up to 20% on heating and cooling costs for homeowners.Find out:ecohomesprayfoam.com
Spray foam consists of two types of composite material: polyurethane and isocyanate, which chemically react at the tip of a spray gun to expand and harden. The foam insulation is then applied to wall framing and roof decks creating a tight thermal envelope.
Improving Home Comfort with Spray Foam Insulation
Conventional fibre insulation is susceptible to air movement within walls and at ceilings resulting in the loss of valuable R-value over time, plus moisture problems such as mold and mildew growth. This problem is caused by convection – the transfer of heat molecules from hot to cold areas, and spray foam stops this 99% better than any other insulator.
The closed cell structure of spray foam also blocks out the transfer of sound, which helps to keep the peace between neighbours, especially important when living in a bustling city center. This insulation can offer relief for those suffering from seasonal allergies, as it reduces sources of mold, airborne pollutants, and allergens like pollen and dust.
It is strongly recommended that professional technicians install spray foam insulation, and that home occupants vacate the home during the spraying and curing process. The spray foam will off-gas large amounts of volatile organic compounds containing toxic chemicals such as isocyanate, which can cause respiratory irritation or even chemical sensitization for some people. The good news is that manufacturers have started to transition to low GWP blowing agents for their foam products, so those with chemical sensitivities are no longer at risk of experiencing a harmful reaction.
