Spray Foam Insulation 316 Insulation
Spray foam Insulation Contractor is an air-sealing, non-toxic material that can seal small cracks and crevices in a building’s envelope and act as an effective sound barrier. It also resists heat transfer and provides a high R-value per inch. This material is a premium choice for homeowners and builders who are looking for long-term insulation benefits. It is more durable than fiberglass and does not degrade over time, so it offers better protection against rodents and insects. It also has the ability to block moisture, which can reduce the risk of mold.
There are two main types of spray foam insulation, closed-cell and open-cell. Closed-cell spray foam is typically a little more expensive than open cell insulation, but it does a better job of insulating a home. It is also more physically stronger and does not require the application of a vapor barrier after it dries.
Choosing 316 Insulation for Quality and Reliability in Spray Foam Insulation
When applied properly, spray polyurethane foam insulation is a safe product for residential use. However, it requires a professional installer who is trained in its use and has the proper equipment to handle the application. A specialized spray gun will apply the liquid foam, which expands and hardens upon contact with surfaces to fill spaces and create an air-tight seal. The cured foam is non-toxic only after it has had the opportunity to fully cure, which may take several days.
Because spray foam is a permanent addition to your home, it’s important to ensure that you are partnered with the right contractor for the job. Using the wrong materials or applying it to dirty or damaged surfaces can lead to poor performance and costly repairs down the road. To get the best results from spray foam, a professional should recommend a comprehensive home energy audit and the installation of an ERV or HRV system to mitigate problems caused by poor airflow and remove pollutants from the living space.
