Whether you are building a new home or upgrading your existing one, spray foam insulation offers a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution. It fills all the nooks and crannies of your home for a complete thermal and air seal. This reduces drafts and helps you save money on your energy bills and live more comfortably.
When choosing Quality Insulation it is important to understand what you are buying. This is because different brands of spray foam can differ in how they perform and are installed. There are open and closed cell options available as well as different types of blown insulation materials (such as cellulose and BIBS).
Why Choose Spray Foam Insulation for Your Home or Business
Open-cell spray foam is softer, less dense, and flexible and uses water or carbon dioxide as a blowing agent which has a lower GWP than HFCs. It is typically used in the rough-in stage of construction and is effective in walls, ceilings, and roofs. It also creates a natural vapor barrier, reducing the need for a separate vapor barrier.
Closed-cell spray foam is denser, more rigid and is a little more expensive than open-cell spray foam. It offers a more efficient performance than open-cell spray foam and provides a higher R-value per inch. This product is also used in the rough-in stage of construction, and is effectively used in walls, attics and floors.
It is recommended that a professional installs spray foam insulation and that you keep all the paperwork from your installation as it may help you if you decide to sell or re-mortgage in the future. This includes independent test certificates awarded to your spray foam product which can be helpful to a surveyor.
