About Foam:
What benefits does Spray Foam insulation offer?
Monthly utility savings from 30-50%
Eliminates moisture and mold growth in walls.
Home Facts:
A typical 2500 sq. ft. home has over 1/2 mile of cracks and crevices—even new construction.
Enough air escapes through a typical house every day to fill 2 Goodyear blimps.
Advantages:
- Blocks airflow by expanding and sealing off leaks, gaps and penetrations.
- Can serve as a vapor barrier with a better permeability rating than plastic sheeting vapor barriers and consequently reduce the build up of moisture, which can cause mold growth.
- Works well in tight spaces.
- Provides acoustical insulation.
- Expands while curing, filling bypasses, and providing excellent resistance to air infiltration (unlike batts and blankets, which can leave bypasses and air pockets).
- Increases structural stability.
- Can be used in places where loose-fill cannot, such as between joists and rafters.
- Cementitious foam is fireproof.
- Allows the home owner to control the air and humidity levels within the home—even to hospital standards.
Foam insulation allows a home to be much more energy efficient and controlled than homes insulated with fiberglass and/or cellulose. Foam insulation can sometimes cost more than fiberglass or cellulose, however, foam will pay you back by allowing the home to be more energy efficient forever. The other insulations just put you on a long-term payment plan with much higher heating and cooling costs forever. Be smart, choose foam insulation for your new home.
