Comparing Spray Foam Insulation to Traditional Insulation Methods
Spray Foam Insulation is a high-performance insulator that can significantly reduce energy bills and create a healthy, comfortable indoor environment. It blocks moisture, prevents odors and mold growth, and significantly reduces outdoor noise penetration into the home. It is an excellent insulation system for new construction and existing homes in Lawrenceville, GA.
What Is Spray Foam Made Of?
Spray polyurethane is a plastic created when two liquid chemicals undergo a chemical reaction to produce a foam. The two components are kept in separate hoppers or tanks, and when the trigger is pulled, they meet at the tip of a spray gun and fuse together into a foam solution that expands as it dries. The result is a durable, long-lasting insulation material that does not sag or lose shape over time.
There are two types of spray foam: open and closed cell. Open cell spray foam contains small pockets of air that aren’t completely encapsulated and is softer than closed-cell spray foam. This type of insulation uses water or carbon dioxide as the blowing agent, which is less harmful to the environment than closed-cell foam does.
Closed-cell spray foam is the more effective choice for reducing a home’s energy consumption, as it has a higher R value and offers structural reinforcement, as well as acting as an air and vapor barrier. It also has a waterproof coating and can be used on the exterior.
