spray foam insulation is a highly effective and cost-efficient way to reduce energy loss in a home. It has a high R-Value rating that helps keep the home warm in winter and cool in summer. It also creates an air seal to prevent drafts and stops the influx of unwanted air in your walls, attic or crawl space. This is especially useful for areas where it’s hard to get fiberglass batts into.
Installation Process for Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation
Unlike fiberglass batt insulation, spray foam insulation is installed as a liquid. It is sprayed into place, where it expands to fill the spaces between joists or studs. It’s typically installed in basement rim joists, attics, crawl spaces, overhangs (or cantilevers), knee walls and bonus rooms.
Aside from insulating, spray foam insulation can also help air seal your home. Up to 40% of a building’s energy is lost due to air infiltration and spray foam insulation can stop this by creating an impenetrable seal between the inside of the home and outside air.
The insulation also acts as a moisture barrier to stop the flow of water, which can damage structures over time and cause mildew or mold. Spray foam is also safe to use in metal buildings as it has superior tensile strength and durability. It is available in both open and closed cell varieties. Closed cell spray foam is preferred for metal construction as it’s hermetic and doesn’t allow water or air to pass through it. Lastly, spray foam is usually made with a blowing agent that’s free of CFCs, HFCs and HCFCs. This is known as Ecomate and is a more environmentally friendly alternative to other types of insulation.
