The Importance of Spray Foam

Spray foam insulation is an innovative product that completes two jobs in one. It’s made of polyurethane and isocyanate, two composite materials that chemically react when combined. Together, they are sprayed to create a liquid foam that expands and hardens to both air seal and insulate your new home project in one application. The result is an energy-efficient home that future homeowners will enjoy for many years.

Spray foam comes in two forms: open-cell and closed-cell. Open-cell spray foam is a lightweight foam with an R-value of 3.8 per inch. Closed-cell spray foam has a higher R-value of 7.2 per inch. It is also denser and provides a vapor barrier that open-cell foam does not.

Some of the many benefits of using spray foam include:

Lower energy bills
Less stress on the HVAC system

A more comfortable home throughout every season
A smaller carbon footprint
Better indoor air quality

Places We Install Spray Foam

Attic rooflines

One of the best places to start saving energy is in the attic. A home loses the greatest amount of conditioned/heated air through the attic and roof. The roof also soaks up heat during summer, creating a hot attic that makes other rooms stuffy. We install spray foam along your attic’s roofline to prevent that air from escaping and unwanted heat and air from entering. Future homeowners will enjoy the benefits of an airtight attic and a more comfortable home.

Crawl spaces

Ensure the crawl space of your new home project is ready to go from the start. Properly insulating and sealing the crawl space helps keep moisture and pests out and unclean air from entering the conditioned living space. Our team starts by laying down a poly liner on the floor that seals out moisture and soil gases. Then we install closed-cell spray foam or rigid foam insulation to the crawl space walls to create a moisture resistant, healthier space.

Exterior walls

Protect your newly built home from every kind of weather with exterior wall insulation. We fill the open wall cavities of your new home project’s inside exterior walls with spray foam insulation. This gives future residents comfort and protection from outside elements and even dampens outside sounds for a quieter indoor environment.
