Spray Foam Insulation – A Cost-Effective Option
Spray foam insulation is a very cost-effective option for homeowners looking to make their homes more comfortable, save money on energy bills, and protect their health from allergens like mold, mildew and dust. A quality spray foam insulation system will last for the life of the home and require very little maintenance.
The main advantage that spray foam has over other types of insulation is the ability to seal and strengthen a structure. High-quality spray foam insulation will prevent air and moisture intrusion and eliminate leaks around window and door frames, electrical boxes, and plumbing fixtures. It will also block unwanted noise, creating a quieter and more peaceful environment in the home.
Key Considerations When Selecting a Spray Foam Insulation Contractor
When selecting a spray foam insulation system, it is important to choose a company with trained installers. The process of spraying the foam requires a chemical reaction and results in the release of harmful fumes. As a result, the area should be closed off and not re-entered for a period of time after the job is finished. A trained installer will be able to provide advice on the health and safety considerations associated with the process.
Spray foam insulation is available in two different types – open-cell and closed-cell. Both have advantages depending on your specific needs. Each type of SPF is stored as two separate liquids and then combined during a chemical reaction on-site as it is applied. The “A” side of the mixture is typically comprised of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate and polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate while the “B” side contains a proprietary blend of polyols, catalysts, blowing agent, flame retardants and surfactants.
