Stop Paying for Overpriced, Inefficient Insulation

Spray foam has been rated to have the highest efficiency and R-value when compared to other insulation products and its intuitive design allows it to create an airtight seal even in tricky and problematic spaces. It has been proven to keep out air pollutants and helps with soundproofing buildings.


We are experienced in commercial and residential projects & construction, new or existing, and will install spray foam in walls, attics, basements, and crawl spaces, etc.

FAQs

  • What is Spray Foam?

    Spray foam is a chemical product created by two materials, isocyanate and polyol resin, which react when mixed and expand up to 30-60 times their liquid volume after it is sprayed in place. This expansion makes it useful as a specialty packing material that forms the shape of the product being packaged and produces a high thermal insulating value with virtually no air infiltration.

  • Is this the same spray foam I can buy in the can at the hardware store?

    Not exactly.


    There are two basic types of spray foam insulation:


    1-part foam: The type of spray foam that comes in pressurized cans that are sold at home centers and hardware stores. This single-component foam is super-sticky and expands at different rates (depending on the type you buy) immediately after application. Since it seals gaps as well as insulates, this product is often referred to as an "insulating foam sealant."


    2-part foam: To insulate an entire basement or attic with spray foam, contractors use a 2-part polyurethane foam that comes in a pair of pressurized metal containers. When both components (resin and a catalyst) are mixed at the nozzle, a foaming chemical reaction takes place that causes the material to expand.


  • Are there advantages to Spray Foam vs regular or bat or blown insulation?

    Spray foam has a higher R-value per inch than any other commonly used insulation -R-6.2 or higher, depending on the formulation. Spray foam also air seals and insulates in one step with its ability to expand and fill gaps and cracks which makes it an ideal air-sealing material, and it stays in place with its super-adhesive qualities. Plus, its closed cell structure means that water can't migrate from one tiny cell or bubble to another. In addition, spray foam's expanding, super-sticky characteristics pretty much eliminate the possibility of voids (small areas with no insulation).
