Spray Foam Insulation for Gonzales HomesSpray Foam Insulation for Gonzales Homes
spray foam insulation is a liquid that expands on application to fill the space and form a protective air seal. It can be sprayed in attics, crawl spaces, rim joist in existing homes or on new construction. It can also be injected into walls of existing homes using a process called Wall Injection, which involves drilling small holes between the wall studs in a home’s framing, then injecting the foam.
Environmental Impact of Spray Foam Insulation
The foam forms a tight and custom thermal envelope, reducing energy costs and making homes more comfortable. It helps reduce drafts and air leaks, dampens noise and creates a healthier indoor environment. It can prevent mold and mildew growth, improve structural integrity and protect against pest intrusion.
There are two types of spray foam: open and closed cell. Open cell foam has cells that aren’t completely encapsulated, which makes it more flexible and softer. Closed cell foam is denser and much more rigid than open cell. It also offers better R-value per inch, but it’s more expensive and takes longer to dry.
Spray foam insulation is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fiberglass batts and cellulose. Its adaptability to humidity and fire resistance are additional benefits for Gonzales homeowners. It’s important to note, however, that if your spray foam insulation isn’t properly installed, it can reduce the value of your property or render it unmortgageable in the eyes of a lender. If you’re considering spray foam, it’s best to consult a professional.
