attic insulation is a premium product that provides a host of benefits. It is made from two liquids that, when sprayed on a surface, expand and fill every nook and cranny to create a seal. The result is a home that doesn’t leak air or heat, which will save homeowners on energy bills year-round.
Whether the job is in an existing home, new construction, or pole barns, a crew will arrive to prepare the area to be sprayed with polyurethane foam insulation. First, the old insulation is removed, and the space is swept clean. Next, a technician will mix the chemicals in a specialized rig to create the foam. The rig is temperature-controlled, so the foam always comes out at the correct consistency. The crew will then apply the foam to the attic, crawl space, or rim joist in an existing home or new construction project.
The Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation by Spraytech Insulators
Once applied, spray foam insulation will quickly form a solid, impenetrable seal in the building envelope. This air seal prevents thermal transfer between your home and the outside environment, which can account for 30% of your energy consumption. With a high R-Value, spray foam is also very effective in blocking air leaks, which will reduce your HVAC system’s workload.
Because spray foam insulation is a more premium product and installation, it may require a bigger investment upfront than other types of insulation. However, the energy savings you experience year after year will quickly offset the initial investment.
