SPRAY FOAM Saves Money and Pays for Itself
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 Closed-Cell Spray Foam - this saves you money.
Spray Foam Insulation Redefines Construction Methods
- Spray Foam benefits modern building sciences, and promotes energy efficient green building initiatives.
- Spray foam Insulation used in the building envelope outperforms fiberglass insulation, becomes a superior air barrier, and defies traditional, and outdated building practices of attic and crawl space ventilation
Open Cell vs Closed Cell Foam Insulation
There are two types of foam insulation options; these include open cell and closed cell. Both types of foam are commonly used in commercial and residential building applications.
The advantages of the closed-cell foam when compared to open-cell foam include its strength, higher R-value and generally its greater resistance to the leakage of air or water vapor.
The disadvantage is that it is usually more expensive to install due to its density which requires more material therefore costing more.
G & W can help you determine which foam insulation type is right for your building type and budget.
