SPF
home insulation saves on energy costs and lowers utility bills.
SPF is used to seal the entire “building envelope”
of your home to prevent air and moisture infiltration. The
US Department of Energy (DOE) studies show that 40% of your
home’s energy is lost due to air infiltration. This
air infiltrates the home in the form of drafts through walls
sockets, windows and doorways.
Often times no expensive building wrap or additional vapor
protection is required during construction when using SPF,
saving money yet again.
High R-Value
Sprayed polyurethane foam has an aged R-value of approximately
6.0 per 1 inch thickness (depending on the particular formulation
and application, higher values have been achieved), enabling
it to provide more thermal resistance with less material than
any other type of commercial insulation material. SPF systems
are frequently used to insulate and protect a wide variety
of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
Monthly energy and utility savings of 30% or greater can
be achieved when compared to the alternative roofing and insulation
systems. The cost of an SPF roof or insulation system can
often be recovered in less than 5 years, simply through energy
savings alone.
Prevents Air, Moisture
and Gas Infiltration
Studies have shown that as much as 40% of a building’s
total energy loss is due to air infiltration. Traditional
fiberglass insulation is only stapled, or placed into the
wall cavities and does not seal the stud and wall cavities
from end to end, or top to bottom. Air infiltration can pass
through these gaps, making it far less efficient than SPF.
SPF not only adheres to, but forms to the walls and floors
to create a tight seal and insulating barrier that stops this
air leakage. SPF also boasts the highest R-value per inch
than any other commercial material, (upwards of R-7.0, compared
with Fiberglass at R-3.5) making your home more comfortable
and less expensive to heat in the winter, and cool in the
summer.
Since SPF acts as an air barrier, it also helps to reduce
moisture infiltration, which is a source of dangerous mold
and mildew growth in the home, and can cause severe health
problems to its occupants. So save your family and save money
at the same time with SPF home insulation systems. Moisture
infiltration can also cause structural damage to your home
or building.
Helps Reduce Moisture
and Mold
Molds produce tiny spores to reproduce. Mold spores waft through
the indoor and outdoor air continually. When mold spores land
on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing and digesting
whatever they are growing on in order to survive. There are
molds that can grow on wood, paper, carpet, and foods. When
excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth
will often occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains
undiscovered or un-addressed. There is no practical way to
eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment;
the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture.
SPF insulation is the key.
Enhances Overall Building
Stability
Since SPF is seamless and monolithic, foam sprayed into the
walls enhances overall building stability and reduces “rack
and sheer.”
Deadens Sound Travel and
Noise
SPF also reduces airborne sound making the home acoustically
tighter and more private from room to room.
