The Major Features …

Open and Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation

Spray Foam Insulation is environmentally friendly, contains no formaldehyde or ozone depleting chemicals, saves energy* and reduces the use of fossil fuels, thereby reducing global warming gases. It also assists in providing good indoor air quality, requires less energy to produce than the leading insulation, and reduces the amount of energy required to transport and install it. Spray Foam is durable, maintains physical properties over time, contributes little to the waste stream, and in a single product (depending on the formula and project) can take the place of three-four other products, including insulation, air barriers, sealants, vapor retarders, and weather barriers.

*Spray Foam reduces energy use in the following ways:

  • Has high R-value per inch (open-cell 3.5 per inch and closed-cell 6.0 per inch)
  • Eliminates air infiltration
  • Helps control moisture and condensation
  • Reduces convective currents in walls and attics
  • Eliminates wind washing
  • Effective at low and high temperatures
  • Provides the correct environment so that the ventilation system performs more efficiently

Other benefits include…

  • Closed cell Spray Foam adds structural strength and glues a building together, thereby making it more resistant to racking events, such as hurricanes and high winds.
  • Spray Foam reduces noise from outside by air sealing the building.
  • Closed-cell Spray Foam can provide an added barrier against water intrusion.

COMFORT:

  • Spray Foam reduces drafts and increases comfort.
  • Spray Foam helps maintain a comfortable, constant, temperature throughout the building, from room to room and floor to floor.

HEALTH:

  • Spray Foam assists in improving indoor air quality.
  • Spray Foam reduces the infiltration of outside air pollutants and soil gases.
  • Spray foam can reduce moisture condensation and mold growth within the building walls and roof.

VALUE:

  • Excellent insulation efficiency of SPF can reduce heating and cooling usage dramatically.
  • HVAC equipment can be down-sized, thereby reducing construction costs.
  • Spray foam will not sag or settle.
  • Spray Foam can eliminate the need for separate housewrap and vapor retarders.

ENVIRONMENT:

  • Spray Foam helps conserve energy, reducing CO2 emissions.
  • Spray Foam contributes LEED credits for sustainable, green construction.
  • Spray Foam can help reduce structural damage caused by high winds.
  • Spray Foam contains no formaldehyde or ozone depleting substances.
