Spray foam insulation impacts the conduction and the convection of heat flow in or out, helping keep your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It also seals the building envelope and stops air leaks that waste energy and money year round. Source: https://insulationprony.com/
Why Choose Insulation Pro Inc. for Your Spray Foam Insulation Needs?
This type of insulation is sprayed on the walls, ceilings and other areas to be insulated by a professional technician. As it is sprayed it expands to fill the space and create an airtight seal. Unlike fiberglass batts and blown-in cellulose, spray foam insulation conforms to nooks and crannies and is able to seal around pipes, wires and other obstacles. It can be applied to new construction, existing homes, pole barns and other wood framed structures.
Open-cell and closed-cell spray foam are the two main types of spray insulation available on the market. The difference is in the tiny bubbles (cells) that make up each product. Closed-cell spray insulation is made up of cells that are completely encapsulated, while open-cell is not. Open-cell spray insulation is more flexible than closed-cell and is a good choice for wood framed houses that are subject to moisture because the air bubbles can move in response to humidity.
A big issue with spray foam is that once it sets, it’s hard to remove or change – it’s like a tattoo! So it’s important that homeowners carefully consider the location and design of any area they wish to insulate before selecting spray foam. Also, because spray foam will off-gas significant amounts of volatile organic compounds during installation and the curing process, occupants should vacate the home until it has been properly ventilated.
