The Magic of Spray Foam Insulation

Tweet

Spray foam insulation has the highest available insulation R-Value. This means that dollar for dollar foam insulation saves the most money on climate control both summer and winter. Estimates say users of foam can save up to 50% on the cost of heating and cooling. Commercial buildings made of concrete or poorly insulating construction materials need the extra value of the material that blocks air flow, filling in all cracks and openings. The insulating quality of foam extends to allergens and air born pollens. Spray foam does have the advantage of preventing air exchange through walls. Structural gaps are completely filled with high R-value insulating material, preventing drafts. The fill-in property of the foam insulation also prevents the infestation of insects in restaurants, hotels or motels. Cracks and openings are sealed off when the foam is installed. Spray insulation provides soundproofing in commercial buildings. The foam penetrates and blocks breaks in the wall through which sound travels. The properties of the foam absorb vibration and keep sound from traveling past the barriers it forms. The more soundproofing you can have in commercial buildings the better the privacy between spaces and the better the acoustics for speech or sound within the rooms. This is especially important for hotels or motels where a quiet room makes all the difference for customer comfort and sense of privacy and security. Foam insulation sound proofs better than any other insulation material. Users of foam insulation get this feature as a value added benefit. Spray foam solidifies into a permanent fill-in form, in effect becoming part of the building itself. Hardened foam repels moisture making it a moisture seal. It will not rot or change its properties because of moisture. Sprayed foam insulation will not have to be shifted, replaced or stabilized for the life of the building. Bagged insulation products will eventually sag or droop and have to be bolstered to remain effective. Spray foam actually stabilizes the forms it fills as it hardens, improving the structural stability of the building. Spray foam is a long-term investment that will pay for itself in a few years of use – Spray Foam Solutions Kansas.
