Spray foam is one of the most effective and greenest insulators presently available in the market
. It comes in liquid state and comprises of a highly reactive foaming agent which on spraying on a hard surface expands up to 100 times its original size. Since spray foam initially is in liquid form so on applying it fills all the holes and crannies in the wall insulating it completely.
Spray foam insulation lowers your energy bills. It keeps residential and commercial building warm during winters and cold during summers, as it does not allow air to escape through cracks and holes thus completely insulates walls and roofs of building. By decreasing heating and cooling needs spray foam cut down your energy requirement by 20-40% thus cutting down your energy expenses. It lowers your energy bill by saving significant amount of energy.
Spray foam insulations possess higher R-values. R-value is fundamentally the measurement of thermal resistance of materials used in the construction industry. If any material have higher R value (numerical value) than it is better insulator or in other words R-value is directly proportional to insulation ability of the material. The R-value of Spray Foam insulation is much higher than fiber glass, cellulose or any other insulator available. In fact, it has twice the R-value per inch than traditional fiberglass insulation and much higher R value than cellulose insulation.
Some of the prominent benefits of spray foam insulation are that people using spray foam can avail additional tax benefits, buildings with spray foam insulation sell at higher prices thus adding value to property, and it helps you to maintain a cleaner, more hygienic house by keeping away moisture and insects. Spray foam does not fall off or disintegrate and is made of renewable and recyclable material, covering a more thorough area than fiberglass or cellulose insulation as it is in liquid form during application but the principal benefit of spray foam insulation is lowering energy requirements and save you hard earned money by making your residence or office energy-efficient.
