Benefits of Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation Installation
- Utilizing spray foam insulation actually adds structural stability and durability to your home because it adds strength to framing and sheathing.
- When compared with other forms of insulation, spray foam boasts an impressive R-value, which is 55–60 percent greater than other types of insulation.
- Due to the fact that spray foam expands and is a very strong adhesive, it is more efficient than other forms of insulation.
- Spray foam helps seal off the home against air leaks and creates an up-to-code moisture barrier or vapor barrier.
- Spray foam also offers an impressive degree of soundproofing when used as an insulator and is comparable to rock wool’s soundproofing capability.
- Spray foam is highly resistant to water damage unlike other insulators like fiberglass, which can hold up to 2.5x its weight in moisture.
- Won’t compress, fall out of place or lose R-value like fiberglass
- Closed-cell spray foam is waterproof and does not support mold growth
What does spray foam insulation cost?
Before you decide on spray foam or another method of insulation, it’s important to understand the superiority of spray foam compared to traditional materials. When compared to fiberglass batts, spray foam offers nearly double the R-value per inch, achieves air-sealing and insulation in one step, won’t be damaged by mold or moisture, and won’t settle, compress, or otherwise be damaged to the point it needs replacement.
Spray foam insulation is typically priced by volume, meaning your cost will depend on how much material you need to use to insulate your space, although other factors may influence price as well. In almost all cases, the cost of spray foam insulation is more than worth it, as it’s a once and done upgrade that will not only provide energy savings in your home, but also improve your home’s overall comfort and structural integrity.
The Greenlink Spray Foam Insulation Process
Spray foam insulation can be messy and difficult to remove from areas where it shouldn’t be. But as experienced spray foam insulation contractors, we have an intensive process to ensure there’s no mess and guarantee the safety of every occupant (including pets) in the home.
