A spray foam insulation contractor can transform a home’s energy efficiency by creating a custom airtight envelope. This helps keep heat inside the house in winter and outside in summer, reducing heating and cooling bills significantly. It also improves indoor air quality by preventing moisture and pollutants from entering the home.
Spray foam insulation offers design flexibility and creativity for builders, as it can easily conform to the unique structure of a home or building. It is sprayed as liquid and expands on contact with air, sealing all nooks and crannies in the space. It can even fit in domed ceilings or other difficult to reach areas. It has a high R-value (the resistance to heat flow) and is relatively inexpensive when compared to other insulation types.
How Gonz Insulation Improves Home Comfort with Spray Foam Insulation
While spray foam has many benefits, there are some concerns that should be kept in mind when considering this type of insulation. Improper installation can set a project back in both time and money, and it can result in poor thermal performance and compromised indoor air quality. Moisture entrapment can cause mold and other health issues that require expensive remediation.
A blower door test is an important tool to use when evaluating the effectiveness of a spray foam insulation project. This test measures the amount of air that is being exchanged between the inside and outside of a building, and is reported in “air changes per hour.” This measurement accounts for both leakage from ductwork and gaps around electrical and plumbing fixtures. It is commonly used to determine the quality of an installation, and is often recommended by a spray foam insulation contractor.
