Spray foam insulation is an air-sealing product that creates a custom, energy efficient envelope in any structure. This stops air leakage, which makes it easier for your HVAC system to maintain a steady temperature all year round. That means lower utility bills.Learn more:https://qualityinsulationva.com/

It can be applied in attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists in older homes, and in open stud walls and unfinished basements in new construction or pole barns. The liquid portion of the material is sprayed and then a catalyst is added to allow it to expand into a thick insulation that seals out insects, rodents, and odors while adding strength to the building envelope. It also blocks convective heat transfer, which can cause a home to overheat during the summer.

Green Earth Spray Foam: Reducing Your Carbon Footprint with Insulation

One of the benefits of spray foam is its ability to fill every nook and cranny, making it more effective than fiberglass batts or rigid insulation. It’s a quick and cost-effective solution for insulating existing buildings and can be used in place of drywall or wood framing.

The biggest drawback of spray foam is that it’s permanently installed, and can be difficult to remove without significant damage or health impacts. In addition, the blowing agent that gives spray foam its insulating power has a high global warming potential (GWP), which is an important factor to consider.

Another consideration is the off-gassing of the chemicals used in the installation process, which can be a nuisance for home owners who live in the property. This issue has led some lenders to refuse mortgages to homeowners with spray foam insulation, requiring a surveyor to recommend an independent specialist report. The all-in-one Property Inspect app helps surveyors capture and share this information more quickly and effectively than ever before.
