Spray Foam Insulation

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an innovative foam plastic substance that is sprayed onto an open surface in paint-like form and then expands to create an insulating barrier against wind and outside temperatures. Once the insulation sets, it expands to create an insulation barrier against extreme temperatures and moisture. Unlike traditional insulation products like fiberglass and cellulose, spray foam insulation doesn't settle or deteriorate over time.

At least 15 percent of energy is lost through your basement and floors, while 25 percent escapes through your attic. That means your air-conditioning and heating system is working twice as hard to maintain steady temperatures throughout your home. This issue is one of the largest contributing factors that cause energy bills to skyrocket through the roof. A combination of spray foam along with blow-in insulation can be an effective combination for attics. Spray foam insulation can easily be applied to open areas like attics, basements, crawl spaces, ceilings and inside unfinished walls.

It's easy to confuse "injection foam" and "spray foam," but there is a difference. Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an innovative foam plastic substance that is sprayed onto an OPEN surface in paint-like form and then expands to create an insulating barrier against wind and outside temperatures. Once the insulation sets, it expands to create an insulation barrier against extreme temperatures and moisture. On the other hand, injection foam is used for existing walls that are closed.

• Efficient - Because spray foam seals cracks and crevices, it is more efficient than traditional fiberglass insulation.

• Weather barrier - Spray foam acts as a barrier to weather year-round.

• Eco-friendly - Because it reduces your energy requirements, it is eco-friendly.

• Mold deterrent - Spray foam contains inert polymers that inhibit bacteria and mold growth.
