Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation provides:

  • Energy Efficient Homes: heating and cooling costs can be reduced as much as 50%.
  • A Reduction of Heating and Air Conditioning tonnage as much as 35% without the loss of efficiency and comfort
  • Draft Free Environment: sealing of cracks, joints, etc…, will prevent uncontrolled movement of air through the wall assemblies.
  • Dust Free: homes insulated with Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation show a remarkable reduction of dust accumulation
  • Quiet homes: the open cells and the semi-rigid polyurethane mass will absorb and reduce the sound transmission
  • Improved Air Quality 
  • Stable Insulation: not subjected to structural deterioration or decomposition, will not settle
  • Structure Integrity 
  • Comfort 

Spray foam insulation has an R-Value of up to 6.5 per inch of thickness; nearly double that of fiberglass or cellulose insulation. Spray foam insulation expands to 30-130 times its' liquid volume, allowing it to completely fill voids and cracks which are often missed with traditional systems, including gaps around electrical outlets, light switches and pipes. Spray foam insulation also increases the structural strength of your home or building, in some cases by as much as 400%. And although your initial investment is higher, spray foam insulation has been shown to reduce fuel costs by up to 50%, resulting in tremendous savings over time.

 

Spray foam insulation is not considered a hazardous material. It is safe for you, your family and the environment. Spray foam insulation does not produce harmful gases such as CFCs or HCFCs and does not contain or release formaldehyde.

Spay foam insulation has several other advantages over traditional systems. Spray foam insulation acts as an air and moisture barrier that wind proofs and seals wall, floor and ceiling cavities to prevent air movement. This prevents air from seeping in from the outside bringing with it moisture, spores or pollen. Spray foam insulation is also mold, mildew and pest resistant.
