Spray foam is a unique insulator created by mixing and reacting unique liquid components that expand rapidly, filling in gaps and cracks. Once sprayed on a surface, it creates a seamless layer that is impermeable to air, moisture and sound. Unlike other insulation materials that degrade over time, spray foam is long-lasting and delivers consistent energy savings for decades.
The first step in the installation process is to clear the area where the insulation will be applied. The contractor will remove any obstacles or items that block the project site and clean all surfaces that will receive insulation. Old insulation may also need to be removed if it’s incompatible with the new insulation or is damaged and needs replacement.
Understanding the Spray Foam Installation Process
This preparation is important to ensure the project goes smoothly and that the insulation will adhere properly to the substrate. It’s also necessary for proper ventilation and to avoid damage that could lead to mold or other health concerns.
Closed-cell spray foam is a premium product that provides a high R-value and an air-sealing barrier that reduces the load on HVAC systems and leads to significant energy savings. It also provides a barrier against moisture and can resist sagging and settling, making it a good choice for areas with extreme temperatures and humidity.
When choosing an Insulation Contractor, look for a licensed professional with experience in spray foam insulation and a solid reputation. Make sure you get a detailed quote before committing to any work.
