Insulation Contractor is sprayed onto the surface of a wood-framed wall or other building material, where it expands to fill external nooks and crannies. It’s very difficult for heat energy, sound, or air to pass through the foam cells, which create an effective barrier between your home and the outside world.
Understanding EcoHome Spray Foam Insulation Technology
Homeowners typically choose to hire a professional spray insulation contractor for this type of job. A professional will have access to technologies that ensure consistent coverage and proper expansion across the entire area to be insulated, and can also monitor the foam’s temperature during use. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, it might be difficult to achieve this level of consistency with a DIY kit.
The insulating properties of spray foam are due to the fact that it contains small pockets called “cells.” These cells make it impossible for heat or sound to move through them. When sprayed, the foam clings to the walls and other surfaces, creating an effective air and vapor barrier that can save homeowners money on their energy bills year-round.
In addition to saving on heating and cooling costs, a properly insulated home will be healthier and more comfortable. Many people suffer from respiratory conditions or allergies, and spray insulation can eliminate these issues by sealing the home’s building envelope. It can also reduce a homeowner’s carbon footprint by cutting their energy consumption by 50% or more, which will decrease greenhouse gas emissions.
