Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
United Spray Foam LLC is a high-performance alternative to fiberglass batts and other rigid insulation materials. It can be installed in new construction homes, metal buildings and pole barns, and in existing residential and commercial structures. It provides more comprehensive coverage than other types of insulation, as it can seal around electrical outlets and light fixtures. It can also fill gaps and crevices where walls meet windows, doors, and other surfaces. Its expansive nature allows it to seal spaces of any size, which makes it ideal for basement rim joists, attics, crawl space, and knee walls.
Residential Spray Foam Insulation Services
In addition to providing energy efficiency, spray foam insulation prevents air leakage, which can account for as much as 40 percent of your home’s heating and cooling costs. This is because the foam creates a powerful barrier that restricts air flow. This prevents heat from escaping in the winter and cooling in the summer.
Foam insulation also improves indoor air quality by blocking airborne contaminants, like pollen and mold spores, from entering your living space. This prevents them from clogging your HVAC filters, making them harder to clean and maintain.
Spray foam insulation is environmentally friendly, as it contains fewer chemicals than other insulation products. Its ingredients include a class one fire-rated, environmentally safe blowing agent, polyols, and catalysts. The blowing agent is comprised of hydrofluorocarbons, which have a lower global warming potential (GWP) than carbon dioxide. On a per-kilo basis, HFCs have a GWP of 3,400, which is less than that of methane gas or CO2. This means that each kilogram of the foam’s blowing agents releases 3.4 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere over 100 years.
