Why use Spray Foam

Spray Foam Insulation Comparison

Choosing the right insulation for your home is an important investment.
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) won’t sag or deteriorate over time like fiberglass will. Additionally, SPF provides a superior barrier to moisture and sound. With SPF, you will be saving money on your energy bill for a lifetime.

Spray polyurethane foam or SPF as it is commonly called, drastically reduces heating & cooling bills when compared to conventional insulation, such as fiberglass or blown cellulose We are talking a potential of 30% to 50% energy savings.

SPF offers the following benefits:

Non-Permeable Air Seal
SPF expands to fill all voids and gaps within the framing system, creating a three-in-one Insulation, Air Barrier, and Vapor Retarder system. Traditional insulation systems are subject to unwanted air infiltration, a phenomenon called wind wash. With wind wash, outside air and moisture can be introduced into the wall cavity, greatly diminishing the R-Value. SPF’s closed cell structure does not allow air or moisture to penetrate. SPF virtually eliminates the heat loss that is associated with wind washing.

SPF prevents airborne contaminates such as mold, spores, pollens, and dust from penetrating the building envelope.

High R-Value
With an aged R-Value at 6.2 per inch (Closed Cell) and 4.2 per inch (Open Cell) SPF is vastly superior to fiberglass. With the Closed Cell Foam, there are Millions of closed cell bubbles virtually eliminating heat loss through convective air currents within the wall cavity. There is no reduction in R-Value over time as there is with traditional insulation systems.

Quiet
An SPF home has a measurable reduction in outside noise such as traffic, airplanes and barking dogs.

Green
Qualifies for multiple credits in LEED, Energy Star, and other energy saving programs.
No CFCs, HCFCs, or other gasses harmful to the environment. No airborne glass fibers.

Economic
Spray Foam Insulation offers a lifetime of performance and savings to you, the home owner. A typical SPF home pays for the upgrade via energy savings in 3 to 5 years. After that, it is just money in your pocket.
