Foam Insulation Benefits
For decades, fiberglass insulation was the material of choice to insulate homes. Blown fiberglass was often used for the attic, and fiberglass batts were used for wall cavities, ceilings, and pretty much everything else. But fiberglass only has an R-Value of 3 per inch, won't stop air movement, and does not work when wet. Enter spray foam insulation, the super insulation with the highest R-Value of 7 per inch, and all these additional benefits:
- Stops Air/Moisture Leakage
- Reduces Drafts
- Save on Energy Costs
- Reduce Monthly Utility Bills
- Keeps Dust and Pollen Out
- Strengthens Structures (CC)
- Reduces Noise Infiltration (OC)
High R-Value
Sprayed polyurethane foam has an aged R-value of approximately 6.0 per 1-inch thickness (depending on the particular formulation and application, higher values have been achieved), enabling it to provide more thermal resistance with less material than any other type of commercial insulation material. SPF systems are frequently used to insulate and protect a wide variety of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
Monthly energy and utility savings of 30% or greater have been reported by consumers.
