When sprayed into an attic, basement or crawl space, spray foam insulation forms little pockets of air that create an efficient barrier that helps prevent hot or cold outside air from entering or escaping your home. This prevents air leakage, which accounts for 40 percent of a homes energy cost, according to the Department of Energy. Find out: https://gonzinsulation.com
Frequently Asked Questions About Spray Foam Insulation
Unlike fiberglass batt insulation, spray foam can fill tight spaces that are hard to reach with traditional batt insulation. It also seals air leakage to help reduce drafts, which can make rooms feel uncomfortable. The benefits of installing spray foam insulation include lower energy bills, greater comfort and safety, and reduced air pollution.
Spray foam can be installed in basement rim joists, crawl spaces, overhangs (or cantilevers), knee walls and bonus rooms. It can even be used to re-insulate old attics or to add insulation where existing insulation has been lost over time.
The primary ingredient of most spray polyurethane foam is a mix of chemicals called an isocyanate. The isocyanate reacts with a liquid chemical called a blowing agent to form the insulation. The “A side” of the spray foam contains methylene diphenyl diisocyanate and polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, while the “B side” is a mixture of polyols, catalysts, flame retardants and other ingredients.
Gonz Insulation offers spray foam containing low GWP blowing agents such as Genyk Boreal Nature and BASF Walltite CM01. Low GWP is 3,400 times less potent than carbon dioxide on a per kilo basis.
