polyurethane, with the help of a special equipment. Then, the mixture is
sprayed onto the surface to be insulated through a heated hose. Find out what
makes it the best.
Reduces energy expenses
This is a practical option, which can reduce energy
expenses and can keep houses cool during summers and warm during the winter
season. It is able to safeguard against loss of energy by sealing against the
entry of air. It can protect the environment, reduce utility expenses and
improve the quality of air as well.
Cost-Effective Over Long Term
Why is spray foam insulation
so expensive? This is due to a number of
factors involved, which are costly, such as:
- Chemicals involved
- Project size
- Project location
- Building code requirements
- Type of material specified or needed, such as closed
cell or open cell spray foam
- Amount of material needed
- Labor
The initial investment for this kind of insulation
can be affected by many such variables. Despite the high costs, the high
savings on energy expenses make Spray foam insulation cost one of the best options.
Does not attract mold
Can mold grow on spray foam
insulation? It does not, as a product, attract mold. It does
not deteriorate, rust or rot, unlike metal or wood. Thus, when an area is
sprayed properly with foam insulation, it never becomes a hospitable ambiance
or source of food for a colony of molds. Due to this reason, such kind of foam
is a perfect option for installation for areas like garage, basement and attic.
Can work as a perfect sealant
Can spray foam insulation be
used in existing walls? It may be applied in the
existing walls when the current insulation is taken off and the wall cavity
gets exposed. When it is added to existing walls, it can ensure an air sealing
and can resolve all the annoying drafts and cold spots.
Can dry out fast
Can spray foam insulation get
wet? Yes, it can. Such kind of foam gets wet and while water
can move through it, this kind of insulation does not indefinitely trap
moisture. Thus, it can dry out. When the foam becomes wet or even after it
becomes submerged, there is no need to have it replaced.
