Spray foam insulation is a versatile building material that’s applied using a hose and then expands to fill all the nooks and crannies that would otherwise let air escape, resulting in high heating and cooling costs. It acts as both an insulator and an air barrier, significantly reducing energy bills year-round and cutting them by up to 50% right away. This type of insulation also protects walls against moisture, helping to prevent mildew and mold growth that can have negative effects on the health of occupants.

The Benefits of Choosing 316 Insulation of Olympia for Spray Foam

Foam insulation doesn’t lose its R-value over time, as other types of insulation do, meaning that it will continue to provide effective insulating properties for decades. Spray foam Insulation Contractor apply it using a technique known as “foam-injection” that ensures consistent coverage and optimum energy savings. Additionally, professional contractors use open and closed-cell spray foam that uses low GWP blowing agents, which are less ozone depleting than traditional fiberglass insulation.

In addition to its insulating and air-sealing capabilities, spray foam also dampens sound and prevents toxins, such as pollutants, from entering homes and businesses. This can help create a peaceful and relaxing environment that’s free from street noise, loud neighbors, and pests.

In addition, spray foam insulation is much stronger than fiberglass and cellulose, which can lead to weakened or compromised walls. This strength helps to reduce the risk of structural damage during hurricanes or tornadoes. The spray foam also provides a layer of protection against pests, as well as protecting structures from harmful mold and mildew that can have a direct effect on the health and safety of occupants.

You’ve probably heard of spray foam insulation, but what exactly is it made of and how does it insulate? At South Central Services, we answer this question weekly from customers curious about this energy efficient insulation.

Spray foam attic insulation is made of polyurethane, a type of plastic that’s created when two liquid chemical components undergo a rapid chemical reaction to form the plastic foam. It’s typically applied during the rough-in stage in construction, when the foam is sprayed into wall cavities, attic hatches, and other spaces that would be difficult to reach with conventional insulation materials.

When installed properly, this insulation creates an air seal that stops the flow of heat in and out of a home. This prevents heat from flowing into a house during the winter and out of it during the summer, cutting homeowners’ utility bills by an average of 50% right away.

In addition to stopping airflow, this type of insulation also stops moisture from leaking into the home. This prevents places like attics and crawl spaces from becoming damp, humid environments that require expensive dehumidification systems.

Another benefit of spray foam insulation is that it helps reduce the amount of airborne allergens, such as dust and pollen, from entering the home. This translates to fewer runny noses and itchy eyes in the spring, as well as less congestion on HVAC air filters that can’t work effectively if they’re filled with dust and other pollutants.
