Flatland Roofing & Insulation – Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

Categories:

Unlike fiberglass insulation spray foam provides an air-tight seal that prevents heat from escaping during the winter and entering in the summer. This reduces energy costs by up to 50% right away. It also decreases humidity levels that will make your home more comfortable and healthy for your family.

The cost of spray foam roofing varies based on the type that you choose (closed-cell or open-cell) and how thick you need it to be. It also depends on whether you use low GWP blowing agents or not.

Sustainability and Spray Foam Insulation: A Green Choice for Your Home

To determine how much spray foam you will need, start by accurately measuring the area to be insulated. Then multiply that number by the desired thickness of the insulation in inches. A general rule of thumb for spray foam is that it should be at least 3-4 inches thick in attics and 2-3 inches thick in walls.

The spray foam will expand once it reaches the areas that need to be insulated and fill in gaps and crevices. This will ensure that your entire home is properly insulated and air sealed to keep out unwanted moisture, cold, and heat.

Another benefit of spray foam is that it creates an impenetrable barrier against pests and outside air pollutants such as pollen, dust, and other irritants. This makes your home healthier, quieter, and more energy efficient. If you are considering adding spray foam insulation to your home, it is a good idea to check with your mortgage company in advance to ensure that they will approve the improvement.
