Spray Foam Insulation

What is Spray Foam Insulation?

The American Chemistry Council defines spray foam as a continuous insulation and air seal plastic material that is sprayed on walls, roofs, into gaps and corners, and on all contoured surfaces. Spray foam is able to seal cracks and crevices throughout a home. Sealing cracks and gaps reduces the air exchange, or air leaks, in and out of a home. Air leaks are a leading cause of increased energy bills. HVAC systems that heat and cool buildings are continuously operating. By reducing extreme temperature variations with spray foam insulation, you will save on the overuse of mechanical systems which leads to lower energy bills.

Why Spray Foam – 5 Benefits

Choosing a high-performance insulation material, like Icynene spray foam insulation, is an important step toward making your house feel more like a home. Not only does Icynene spray foam insulate your home, it air seals too, contributing to increased energy-efficiency and lower heating and cooling bills. When you insulate with Icynene spray foam, you’ll experience many benefits including these five:

improved indoor comfort
lower monthly heating and cooling costs
improved energy efficiency of HVAC equipment
quieter spaces to live, work, rest and play in
reducing the ability of allergens and pollutants entering the home

Foaming insulation is the ideal choice because it outperforms traditional insulation throughout the year, providing a level of indoor comfort year-round. It can help you transform your house into a cozy home.

Plus, Icynene spray foam insulation will last for the lifetime of your home.

Spray Foam Insulation Benefits

Higher R-Value

A material’s insulation properties are rated as “R-Value”. “R” stands for resistance. The higher the R-value, the greater its effectiveness. You can increase your R-value by layering insulation.

Energy Saving

Installing new insulation can help keep energy costs down. Properly sealing a home or office can keep hot or cold air where it belongs, meaning lower utility bills and increased energy efficiency.

Comfortable Home

Insulation can help with air leaks and keep a property comfortable all year. Prevent unnecessary energy loss with blown-in insulation, roll insulation or fiberglass batt insulation.

Noise Reduction

Insulation can help maintain a peaceful environment by blocking noise. Once our ECO Insulation is installed, you will notice an immediate and significant decrease in outside noises.

Fire Protection

Used in combination with other materials, insulation helps provide fire protection in firestop systems, grease and air ducts, and in electrical and communications conduits and cables.

Prevents moisture condensation

Even the most mundane activities can release moisture and vapor into the air and threaten a home’s structural integrity. The right insulation can keep mold and mildew growth at bay and combat excessive moisture.
