Advanced Seal Spray Foam Insulation
Attic insulation creates a powerful barrier that restricts airflow through walls, floors, ceilings, and attics. It also stops moisture from seeping through, which can cause damage over time, as well as requiring an energy-intensive dehumidifier or air conditioner. It is ideal for new construction projects, as well as older homes and metal buildings. It is especially useful for insulating attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists, and it can be used to fill difficult-to-reach places like electrical outlets, light fixtures, and wall cavities.
The Role of Spray Foam Insulation in Noise Reduction
Many homeowners choose spray foam for its energy efficiency. It can reduce heating and cooling costs by 50% right away, as it effectively seals a building’s envelope. It stops air leaks, which are responsible for up to 40% of the average home’s energy bills. It can also reduce drafts and cold spots.
The open-cell spray foam insulation expands up to 100 times its original size, filling all the nooks and crannies that would otherwise leak air. This is important because these gaps are what cause a home to lose energy.
Many spray foam insulation contractors use low-GWP blowing agents, which significantly reduce the product’s global warming potential. For example, Insulthane and Gaco spray foam insulation both have these blowing agents in their products. This helps the green building movement by reducing the use of HFCs and other harmful chemicals. Homeowners can check for this by asking the contractor if they are using these types of blowing agents, and if not, why not.
