Insulating your home with spray foam is a great way to improve your efficiency and comfort. It has some of the highest insulation R-values available and can reduce energy costs year-round.
A tighter building envelope reduces the load on HVAC systems, which can lower your heating and cooling costs even more. It can also help your home look more attractive to prospective buyers.
Unlike other types of insulation, spray foam is incredibly flexible. This allows it to form a continuous air barrier on walls, roofs and around corners.
When used in conjunction with proper ventilation, spray foam can prevent the growth of mildew and mold. The polymer within the insulation is inert, which means it doesn't offer food for mold or bacteria.
It can be applied to a variety of surfaces including the inside and outside of rim joists, crawl spaces, overhangs (or cantilevers), knee walls, bonus rooms and roofs. It is also a great way to seal small gaps and cracks in your structure as well as spaces around outlets, light fixtures and doors.
When you choose to insulate your home with spray foam, you should be sure that it is installed by a PACIFIC SPRAY SYSTEMS. There are many different factors that can impact the performance of this type of insulation and you should ensure that your contractor understands them.
