Spray Foam Insulation
In recent years, Spray Foam Insulation has gained significant popularity and for good reason. However, determining whether it is the right option for you requires further exploration of available insulation choices and understanding your specific needs. We are more than willing to visit your property, assess your situation, and collaborate with you to identify the most suitable product that will deliver the desired results. While Spray Foam Insulation generally offers superior outcomes compared to other options, we believe in tailoring our recommendations based on individual circumstances.
We recommend spray foam insulation quite often and will continue to do so as long as it is the right choice for the customer. Spray Foam Insulation is composed of two components that are combined during installation in your building. The first component is polyol resin, which can be derived from plants or petroleum. It is in a liquid form and contains hydroxyl groups. The flexibility or rigidity of the polyol resin depends on the desired outcome of the insulation installation. The second component is isocyanate, a highly reactive chemical compound. Typically, the isocyanate used in spray foam insulation is polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate (PMDI). When these two components are mixed, they undergo a reaction known as polymerization, resulting in a robust and durable insulation foam. The mixture expands and solidifies as foam.
Due to the involvement of complex chemical components, it is advisable to have professionals like us handle the installation process. While there is a potential for harmful health effects from these chemicals, the risks are primarily associated with mishandling or exposure to the compounds before the mixing process. As we are responsible for the installation, the majority of the risk falls on us. We ensure the expertise and safety of our licensed professionals through dedicated training programs before they work on customer projects. You can have confidence in our process and the results we deliver.
Spray Foam Insulation surpasses other insulation types due to its complex chemical composition. It boasts the highest R-value available, indicating superior insulation and thermal resistance. The exceptional air sealing properties of spray foam are particularly noteworthy. During installation, it expands and adheres to surfaces, effectively sealing all cracks and crevices that may have previously allowed air leakage. Closed-cell spray foam is impermeable to vapor and water, serving as a moisture barrier that mitigates condensation and prevents common issues like mold growth. Its expansive nature enables it to completely fill spaces, making it highly versatile for unique or hard-to-reach areas. This adaptability ensures its efficacy in ceilings, floors, walls, and any other area of a home or building. Furthermore, spray foam insulation is suitable for both new construction projects and existing structures. It boasts an extremely long lifespan, remaining intact and providing optimal insulation for years to come. Its strength also contributes to enhanced structural integrity, making buildings more robust and durable. If these benefits align with your needs, we are ready to begin the process of implementing spray foam insulation in your home or office space today.
