Advantages over Fiberglass
Many older homes have fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass insulation is basically fine particles of glass compressed and added to a paper backing. Although it is better than having no insulation at all, fiberglass insulation does not insulate as well as you think. Fiberglass it is also an irritant to the skin. If it is breathed in, it can cause scarring to the throat. If fiberglass is exposed, it can be chewed by pets or children and be extremely hazardous to their health.
Spray foam insulation is a far superior product. Not only does it completely block and isolate minuscule cracks and drafts, it also protects against radiant heat from the sun. Protection from radiant heat means that heat cannot get in to the home. With protection from the inside and out, spray foam insulation is a superior product in terms of r-value and u-value ratings.
Explaining Spray Foam Insulation
Essentially, spray foam insulation is installed as a wet polyurethane liquid. When it makes contact with the surface it is being applied to, it expands into a foam. Before it expands, it is still a liquid. As we know, liquids can be easily absorbed by wood. That means the liquid seeps into every nook and cranny. That same liquid immediately turns into a foam that expands. This means that every possible opening has been completely sealed by the spray foam insulation. After the phone has dried, it can be cut to size. This way, the walls can be applied over the top of it.
Additional Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
In addition to providing insulation, it also creates a barrier for pests. There is an additional benefit for repelling mold and mildew. It is also an excellent aid for soundproofing. Of course, one of the most interesting benefits is that it is often made of recycled and environmental materials. Although it may seem pricey at first, youll quickly make that money back with savings from utilities. With all of these benefits in mind, its no wonder so many people are choosing such a superior product.
