One unique ability of spray foam is getting into small cracks and crevices. Once the foam is applied into cracks, it expands and dries quickly. Spray form also prevents mold by illuminating air and moisture infiltration.
Spray foam is moisture and mold resistant; it is durable and sustainable. It adds rigidity to the wall studs, which insurers stability since it does not collapse or deteriorate.
If you are using spray foam for your attic, rim joist, crawlspace or exterior walls than any old insulation must be removed! For proper adhesion of spray foam to the substrate it must be clean, dry, sound and free of grease or oil.
Small job sites must be clear of other trades for at least 24 hours after spray form is completed. Generally, bigger job sites will have “no entry zones” and “safety zones” so other trades can work simultaneously in other sections of the job site.
When spray foam is applied properly, it will not damage any pipes or wires. However, there are many different types of insulation. Different procedures and processes are required to ensure each type of insulation is installed correctly every time without damaging anything around or under it.
The main difference between spray foam and more traditional forms of insulation such as fibreglass and cellulose, is that spray foam acts as an air and vapour barrier all in one! Other forms of insulation do not provide any barrier to the flow of air.
R-value is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier such as a layer of insulation resist the conductive heat flow. R-values vary based on the type, thickness and density of the insulation material. A higher insulation R rating means better climate control and better energy efficiency for your home
Spray foam can be applied directly to electrical wiring. Recessed lights or other fixtures may require a certain amount of air circulation around them for cooling purposes. In these cases, a box can be built around the fixture with gypsum wall board; then spray foam can be sprayed directly to the outside of the box
Closed cell spray foam can provide structural enhancements to framed buildings because of its ability to adhere to many materials and its rigid nature.
Cellulose insulation uses high amounts of recycled paper, making it the most eco-friendly insulation material on the market. It takes less energy to make this insulation compared to others.
