WHY USE SPRAY FOAM INSULATION?

Spray foam is applied as a liquid and quickly expands, creating an

air tight seal.

Spray foam is also self-supporting, which enables its use on the underside of roofs and floors.

 
 

What is Spray Foam?

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a spray-applied plastic that forms a continuous insulation and air sealing barrier on walls, roofs, around corners and other surfaces. SPF insulation is resists heat transfer extremely well and offers a highly effective solution in reducing unwanted air infiltration.

 

How Does SPF Work?

Professionals combine two liquids to initiate a chemical reaction that creates foam. These liquids arrive at the job site in separate 55 gallon drums and are typically referred to as the “A” side and “B” side. After spray foam insulation is cured, it’s considered to be relatively inert. This means the chemicals are finished reacting.

According to the EPA, as much as 40% of a building’s energy is lost to air infiltration.

Air leaks that waste energy and drive up utility bills can be filled with spray foam. Spray foam expands in place to insulate and seal the spaces seen and unseen. This unique application process allows spray foam to create a layer of protection that provides a consistent air seal for any wall, roof, ceiling, or floor.

A wall with spray foam insulation is better able to maintain its shape under duress than a wall assembly without spray foam.

Applying closed cell spray foam in wall cavities improves building durability.

This is due to its ability to conform and adhere to the surface upon which it is sprayed. A wall with spray foam insulation is better able to maintain its shape under duress than a wall assembly without spray foam.

Preparing for Spray Foam Installation

  1. Communicate Specific Needs: Discuss specific areas or challenges with the installation team beforehand. Clear communication will help achieve the best results.

  2. Inspect and Repair: Conduct a thorough inspection of the area where the spray foam will be applied. Address any existing issues such as leaks, mold, or structural damage prior to installation.

  3. Clear the Area: Foam will leave a residue on any surface it touches. Remove furniture, decorations, and any personal items from the space where the installation will occur. Ensure that there is a clear path for the installation team to access the areas needing spray foam.

On the day of install, expect a professional team to arrive promptly and prepared to work hard. The safety of our crew and clients is a top priority. We are equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE), including full face respirators, and we utilize a supplied air system to ensure healthy air quality. We ask that clients stay out of the space for no fewer than 24 hours after foam is applied. These precautions are essential in safeguarding everyone involved while delivering high-quality insulation services and minimizing disruption to your home.
