Attic insulation is sprayed directly into walls and other areas of buildings, filling all the nooks and crannies that may have been missed by traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation. It provides excellent coverage and forms an air seal that reduces energy costs. The foam is available in open and closed cell varieties.
Open and closed cell spray insulation can reduce energy bills by as much as 50%. This is because the foam creates an effective air barrier, which stops hot and cold air from leaking into your home. The seal also prevents drafts, cold floors, and ice dams.
Long-Term Savings with 316 Insulation’s Spray Foam Insulation”
Unlike other types of insulation, spray foam doesn’t have any odors. It is non-toxic once it has been cured. During this curing process, however, it does emit a gas that can cause blurred vision and breathing issues. This is why installers must use advanced safety equipment. They also need to be out of your home while the foam is curing.
Spray insulation can be applied to new construction homes, pole barns, and existing attics. Installers can also insulate basements and foundation walls. Kits are available that contain a large amount of spray insulation and the application equipment needed to complete multiple projects.
When used in the attic, spray foam can also help prevent ice dams. Warm air in the attic can flow under the roof deck, causing ice dams to form. Insulating the attic with spray foam prevents this air movement and can save on heating and cooling costs.
