Why spray foam?

Polyurethane foams have one of the highest insulating R-values per inch of all the available products. With typical values ranging from 3.5 to 7 per inch, it is possible to maximize efficiency, increase space utilization and reduce operating costs, while having thinner walls and a lower profile roof. Studies show that increasing the thickness of your roof insulation by 1″ or move about the ASHRAE required thickness significantly reduces your energy costs. SPF sealants that are applied to cracks around window frames expand to fill energy-wasting (escaping) gaps around the window, which increases your buildings energy efficiency. Energy studies performed by Texas A & M on their own roofs show the energy cost reductions obtained by applying SPF to more than 8 million square feet of roofing paid for the cost of the retrofit in a little over three years. Cool roofs (using reflective plastic coverings over SPF insulated roofs) bounce sunlight and radiant heat away from a building, helping th

Improve Indoor Air Quality Controlling air infiltration greatly reduces or stops the entry of dust, pollen and soil gasses like radon into your building. With a controlled environment in your home or office you can live a more comfortable life, with less cleaning too. Add Strength to your Building During installation, the polyurethane spray foam insulation bonds tight to the framing and adds strength to the building. The expanding foam effectively insulates tight areas that are hard to seal — like the space behind electrical outlets. You don’t even need 2″ x 6″ studs to achieve optimum R-values. You save on construction costs and benefit from continued energy savings throughout the life of the home. Save Money A building that has good insulation plus air infiltration control…
