Why Choose Spray Foam Insulation?

Tweet

It's a curious question, spray foam insulation has seemingly sprung out of nowhere, but since the 70's it's been one of the most popular insulation types out there. While fiberglass insulation has been trusted for years, the many downfalls that we previously accepted are now avoidable. Fiberglass insulation can't fully fill hard to reach areas, and it shrinks over time with water damage. Not only that, but fiberglass insulation is irritable to the skin. Spray foam insulation fills those hard to reach areas and isn't damaged by water. It stays where you spray it, so there aren't random sags and leaks after a few years. Incredibly durable, spray foam insulation seals air leaks without you having to do extra sealing labor. It also doesn't house mold like other types of insulations. Spray insulation in Copeland, KS also acts as a sound barrier, providing the extra touch of sealing off one room from another. By reducing air-borne sound transfer this insulation reduces noise passing from room to room. Because of how tight it seals, it saves on energy costs and lowers electric bills. Buildings treated with spray foam insulation typically lose 50% less energy than ones equipped with typical insulation products. There are two types of spray foam insulation; open cell and closed cell. While open cell is the less expensive of the two, it is not a water barrier, though it makes a great air barrier. It is good for interior insulation, because it can keep a hold on previously existing insulation, providing sound reduction as well. Closed cell foam insulation is denser and provides a barrier from water getting through. Usable inside and outside, this hefty insulation is great for roofing or building a wall between rooms. As quick and easy to use as spray foam is, of course more home contractors are using it. Not only does it make construction projects easier, but it provides the home with life-long satisfaction. Spray foam insulation will most likely be used more and more as the benefits of it are realized widely. Out with the old and in with the new, as they say.
