EcoHome Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation creates a custom airtight envelope within the building structure, preventing heat from escaping your home during heating months or entering during cooling months. This energy efficiency is achieved by reducing convective and radiant heat transfer through gaps or cracks in the walls, floors, and roofs. Spray foam can also reduce sound transfer, making your home more quiet and comfortable.Resource: ecohomesprayfoam.com

The spray insulation is applied in a liquid form, then expands and hardens quickly creating a high-performance thermal envelope and airtight seal. The spray foam is mixed on-site using specialized equipment that ensures the precise ratio of polyurethane and isocyanate, which then is sprayed onto a surface to be insulated.

Open-cell foams typically use water or carbon dioxide as a propellant agent, which makes them less harmful to the environment than their closed-cell counterparts. They are a good choice for wall, ceiling and roof insulation, but aren’t suitable for damp or humid locations, as they tend to absorb moisture and vapor.

Both open and closed-cell foams are available with a fire-retardant additive to meet strict building code requirements. However, the fire-retardant spray coating can deteriorate over time and may lose its effectiveness, or even fail to protect the structure against an ignition source.

Closed-cell spray foam can contain blowing agents with a high global warming potential (GWP), but manufacturers have switched to climate-safe alternatives in recent years. Depending on the type of spray insulation used, it may be necessary to perform an inspection of the building structure and underlying materials after installation to detect any signs of damage caused by the application.
