Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

Control Moisture.  Control Your Comfort.

Moisture is the not only the natural enemy of insulation it also the key to feeling comfortable in an environment. We joke about Arizona having a dry heat so it is more tolerable. The joke is a reality when it comes to comfort. The dryer the air in a home or building the cooler it feels. With closed cell sprayfoam and a well designed HVAC unit you can control humidity levels and therefore control comfort. The fact that closed cell sprayfoam is waterproof is the icing on the cake. 90% of all new construction litigation is due to moisture being introduced into the environment unchecked causing rot, mildew and worst of all mold. When you apply spray foam to the envolope you get the assurance that moisture will not enter the environment. Spray foam expands 30 times its liquid volume sealing off all the nooks and crannies that are caused by poor framing or roofing.

Spray Foam the Ultimate Air Barrier

The Department of Energy estimates that 70% of the energy lost in a home is due to air infiltration. The average american home exchanges all of its air 20-30 times per day. A energy efficient home exchanges air between 2.5 and 5 times a day. Spray foam is the best air barrier on the market today.You see spray foam expands 30 times it's liquid volume filling all the voids in the walls and roof. In fact these houses are so tight they require a fresh air intake mounted to the HVAC unit to bring fresh air into the home. These units are very inexpensive and provide a way to pre filter air that is introduced to the environment. By filtering air you can take out 90% of the contaminates that are in the outdoor environment. This in unison with moisture control will stop mold from growing.

The American Lung Association says that asthma has increase more than 70% in the last decade. They believe this due to the fact that we spend more time indoors and our indoor air quality is worse that downtown Los Angeles. Spray foam, and a well planned HVAC system will improve the indoor air quality, that is why the ALA healthy house used spray foam.
