Strategic Spray Foam Insulation
Investing in spray foam insulation may be more costly than other types of home insulation, but it yields significant upfront savings and long-term energy efficiency benefits. In addition, spray foam provides superior durability and moisture resistance. These advantages allow the homeowner to live in a comfortable, efficient home that reduces carbon footprints, which benefits both the environment and the wallet.
The insulating power of spray foam is unparalleled in comparison to fiberglass or cellulose. It starts as a liquid and expands on contact to fill nooks and crannies, conforming to the unique design of any structure. It can also be applied around tight spaces like air ducts, attics and crawl spaces. This versatility and design flexibility allows for greater creativity in the construction of homes.
The Long-Term Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation with Strategic Spray Foam Insulation, LLC
Unlike traditional fiberglass and cellulose insulation, Strategic Spray Foam Insulation, LLC creates an air seal that prevents conditioned air from escaping the building envelope. This reduces heating costs during the winter months and cooling bills in the summer. It also helps the HVAC system run more efficiently, lowering energy consumption and reducing utility bills.
Although spray foam is considered a non-toxic product, it does emit a gas called VOC during application. The amount of VOCs emitted depends on the type of blowing agent used. Historically, this has been produced with Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). Some manufacturers are now experimenting with eco-friendly foams that use a blowing agent called Ecomate, which is free of CFCs and HCFCs. Homeowners can choose to purchase a spray foam kit from a home improvement store and install it themselves or hire a professional contractor. In either case, it is best to choose a reputable insulation company with experience installing spray foam.
