Residential and Commercial Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation is popular for residential and commercial buildings. Here are some key advantages.

  1. Energy Efficiency

  • High R-Value: Spray foam insulation has a high R-value per inch. R-Value measures its resistance to heat flow. R-value enhances thermal resistance, helping maintain consistent indoor temperatures and reducing the need for heating and cooling.

  • Air Sealing: Spray foam expands upon application, filling gaps and cracks in walls, ceilings, and other surfaces. Spray foam insulation creates an airtight seal, preventing air leaks and significantly improving energy efficiency.

  1. Moisture Control

  • Vapor Barrier: Closed-cell spray foam acts as a vapor barrier, preventing moisture from penetrating walls and ceilings. The vapor barrier reduces the risk of mold growth and structural damage caused by water infiltration.

  • Condensation Reduction: Spray foam insulation reduces the likelihood of condensation by minimizing air leaks and providing a barrier to moisture.

  1. Enhanced Comfort

  • Temperature Regulation: Spray foam maintains a consistent temperature for the environment.

  • Noise Reduction: Spray foam acts as a sound barrier, reducing noise from outside and between rooms.

  1. Improved Indoor Air Quality

  • Allergen Reduction: Spray foam insulation creates an airtight seal that keeps outdoor allergens from entering the area.

  1. Structural Strength

  • Added Rigidity: Closed-cell spray foam adds structural strength to walls and roofs against high winds and other stressors.

  1. Longevity and Durability

  • Long Lifespan: Spray foam insulation is durable and long-lasting. It doesn't sag or settle over time, maintaining its insulating properties for many years.

  1. Cost Savings

  • Lower Energy Bills: Reduced heating and cooling needs improve energy efficiency, leading to significant savings over time.

  • Potential Incentives: Installing spray foam may qualify for tax credits, rebates, or other incentives.

  1. Environmental Benefits

  • Reduced Energy Consumption: Spray foam insulation improves energy efficiency, helping reduce energy demand

  • Sustainable Options: Some spray foam products are made with environmentally friendly materials and have a low global warming potential (GWP).

  1. Versatility

  • Application Flexibility: Spray foam can be applied to walls, roofs, attics, crawl spaces.

  • SPF Insulation is in high demand. Architects, Builders and Homeowners are seeking Spray Foam Contractors

    What are the potential SPF Cost Savings compared to other insulation cost savings?

    When building a home or office space, homeowners, contractors, property owners, and even architects focus on what they know. Understandably, they are the least expensive and most convenient options. Other factors should be considered. What are those other factors?

    • Material performance

    • Quality Assurance

    • Reputation of manufacture and contractor

  • Calculating Spray Foam Insulation cost savings vs. other insulation types

    Here is a useful formula

    • Cost to install spray foam in a 2,000 sq. ft home in Zone 5*: $xxxx

    • subtract: the price to insulate with fiberous material – $xxxx

    • subtract: the savings from HVAC right-sizing due to – $xxxx

    • subtract: cost of air sealing, Lesco boxes, extra caulk/tape, -$xxxx

    • NET cost increase of insulating with spray foam +/- $xxxx

    Spray Polyurethane Foam Cost Savings

    As much as 40% of a building’s energy is lost due to air infiltration. As much as half of the energy used in a home goes to heating and cooling, according to the EPA. Maintaining an optimal heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can make your home more energy efficient. With spray foam, HVAC sizing can be reduced as much as 35%.

  • Who are our target audiences?

    • Architects: Driven to push the envelope (designer / artist)

    • Production Builders: Driven by efficiency (profit / time)

    • Custom Builder: Driven by relationships (the next job is dependent on the last job)

    • Homeowner: Driven by family values / household budget (comfort / security)

    Most residential or commercial dwelling’s insulation often is not the focus. Do your best to educate your potential clients and understand both the short and long term benefits of polyurethane foam insulation.

    Initially, SPF insulation investment is more significant when compared to additional forms of insulation. The return on investment can be noticeable and will payback for years to come.
