Benefits of Spray Foam

Spray Foam has gone main stream. It is the preferred method of insulation on just about every construction or renovation show (green or not) and is the preferred insulation of educated contractors and architects. Why?

Spray foam insulation creates an air seal. No other type of insulation creates this seal. Converting attics into a semi-conditioned space in hot climates by closing soffits, gable and ridge vents is a positive design approach in reducing the moisture loads, while stopping excessive heat buildup in attics of home and buildings.

This can be achieved by removing the insulation from the floor of the attic and applying spray foam to the underside of the roof deck to seal all the vents and other openings (preferred method). This design prevents the moisture laden, polluted, non-conditioned air outside air from entering the attic and subsequently into the living area of houses and buildings. In the summer, the air seal also prevents the radiant heat from migrating into the living area. In the winter the air seal stops precious and expensive heated air from escaping your attic after it rises through each floor of the home. and The lower humidity levels create indoor air quality that is much more comfortable to live in.
