Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
With about 56% of a typical home’s energy spent on heating and cooling, proper Commerce, GA is essential to keeping the temperature of your home comfortable. In addition, insulating your home helps reduce your utility bills and the amount of fossil fuels used. When compared to traditional fiberglass or cellulose, spray foam is more effective in resisting the flow of heat through the walls of your home. It also does a much better job of closing air leaks that lead to higher than needed utility bills and wasted energy.
Cost-Effectiveness of Spray Foam Insulation
Unlike fiberglass, spray foam is a liquid substance that can be applied to a building’s rim joist, crawl spaces, attics, overhangs, knee walls and bonus rooms. Once applied, it expands to fill the nooks and crannies of the space. This is why we typically see a payback on the original investment of spray foam within a few years through your annual savings in utility costs.
Another benefit of spray foam is its ability to prevent moisture infiltration into a home or commercial building. This is important because mildew and mold are not good for your health or the integrity of the building. In addition, reducing the amount of water that can enter your property decreases the chances of costly damage due to rot and mold.
Although spray foam contains polyurethane, a chemical that has been around for decades, it’s become more eco-friendly in recent years. This is thanks to more “green” advancements in the blowing agents that help spray foam take shape and expand. The newer polyurethanes now use a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blowing agent, which is 3,400 times less potent than carbon dioxide on a global warming basis.
