Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam is the biggest innovation in the insulation industry since the introduction of fiberglass in the 1950s. This advancement in technology allows us to create more energy efficient and comfortable homes with lower R-value, cutting homeowners’ heating and cooling costs in half.
Protection Beyond R-Value
Spray foam insulation products cannot be measured by R-value alone. While traditional fiberglass insulation can only protect against heating and cooling loss caused by conduction, spray foam thoroughly protects against all six paths of heating and cooling loss.
-
Conduction – The transfer of heat through materials in contact with insulation.
-
Convection – The movement of hot and cold air in your walls.
-
Radiation – The transfer of heat through your walls and roof.
-
Air Infiltration – The transfer of heat by air flow between the exterior and interior.
-
Moisture Accumulation – Moisture within the insulation that leads to heat loss/gain.
-
Air Intrusion – The movement of outside air into your home and then back out.

Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam works best when applied to the attic ceiling. As such, you will feel little difference (approximately 5-10 degrees F) between the attic and your living space. The combination of air sealing and insulation can reduce heating and cooling energy usage by as much as 40 to 60 percent
Your home will also benefit from a lifetime of:
-
Better moisture control
-
Reduced intrusion of dust and pollen, noise and pests
-
Increased structural strength with closed cell spray foam
What Are the Benefits of Batt Insulation?
You can save money by making your home more energy efficient. One way to accomplish this eco-friendly task is to increase the level of insulation inside your house. One type of insulation is called Batt insulation. This is one of the most common products used to insulate walls, ceilings and attics as well as basements and crawl spaces. It is generally manufactured from fiberglass; Batt insulation can also be made from cotton or stone wool. Learn more about its benefits.
Benefits of Batt Insulation
Batt insulation has numerous advantages. Because professionals can install the product relatively quickly, it is one of the least expensive ways to insulate your home. When compared to other types of insulation, the fiberglass version generally has the lowest installed price.
Available in rolls and pre-cut panels, batt insulation is very flexible, which means that it can be installed between studs, rafters and joists blocks without leaving any gaps. The snug fit will help stop airflow and the transfer of heat. When installed correctly, it is very energy efficient. Studies have shown batt insulation can reduce the amount of energy required to heat and cool a home by as much as 50 percent. Along with lower energy bills, your home will be more comfortable year-round
BLOW-IN INSULATION
Blow in insulation provides a dense, effective barrier against heat loss that is also among the green’s insulation options. It offers a low impact on the environment while providing immediate energy savings when installed in attics, walls and hard-to-reach spaces.
Proper installation is a must for blown-in, or loose-fill, insulation. Special equipment and safety measures are required to ensure long-term performance.
In addition to being a mostly recycled product, cellulose blown-in insulation includes fire retardant properties. It also resists insects, rodents and mold and forms a good sound barrier.
Remember, the higher the R-value, the higher the insulation power. The R-value for your home
Spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing Systems
When it comes to the roof over your head, discover why you can count on spray polyurethane foam (SPF).
With a lifecycle performance that can exceed 30 years, SPF roofing systems offer quality that’s built to last. From high winds, rain, snow and hail to corrosion and foot traffic, SPF’s unique application process and adhesion properties help deliver long-term, high-performance results.
The Seamless Solution
SPF roofing systems are referred to as “self-flashing” because when properly applied, the durable foam conforms and adheres to a variety of shapes and substrates, forming a seamless, monolithic barrier.
What does that mean for the roof over your head?
-
Reduced ponding due to unique roof designs and various application thicknesses to create a positive slope and improve drainage.
-
Reduced leakage due to coverage around seams, penetrations, parapet walls, HVAC curves, vents and skylights.
-
Polyurethane foam roofs eliminate the need for counter flashing.
A Better Solution
Roofs made with SPF can provide long-term quality, while also decreasing potential impacts to the environment by reducing resource expenditures and minimizing the use of landfill capacity. SPF roofs are valued for their energy efficiency, a performance quality which helps minimize the environmental impact of buildings.
Reroof, Recycle and Reduce
When considering a roof, it is important to think about the repair process if it is damaged. SPF roofs do not typically have to be removed during repair, unlike many other roofing systems. Because SPF roofing systems adhere to the substrate, if damaged they resist lateral movement of water which reduces the size of the repair. Once the damage is identified, the area can usually be re-foamed without having to remove the roof.
SPF roof systems can also be applied on top of existing materials on most low slope or flat roofs without the need for tear-off, which extends a roof’s life. These attributes simplify repairs, reduce waste in landfills, and reduce repair time compared to some other replacement techniques.
Energy Efficiency
SPF roofs provide an insulating barrier for low slope and flat roofs for residential and commercial buildings. SPF roofs can significantly reduce air leakage and heat transfer, saving energy otherwise used to heat and cool buildings and thus decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. SPF’s insulating properties make it one of the highest performers among roofing materials.
Additionally, “cool roofs” made with SPF reflect the sun’s energy which mitigates urban heat island effects and reduces building temperatures. Cool roofs help to minimize the effects of climate change because they reduce energy use and therefore certain emissions generated during energy production, and they decrease the heat trapped in the atmosphere by reflecting more sunlight back into space.
Resisting Wind Uplift
SPF roofing systems offer exceptional wind resistance because their application method reduces need for fasteners, battens, strips or heavy ballast.
Long-term Savings
SPF roofing systems deliver energy efficiency and maintenance savings year after year which helps offset initial investment. Moreover, energy efficiency tax credits or other incentives may also be available for your project, making the use of SPF even more attractive.
