subject: Benefits Of Spray Foam Insulation [print this page] Installing quality insulation in your home is necessary in order to save energy and cut down on energy costs. And in the wake of today's green movement, energy conservation is on everyone's mind. There are a lot of products out there that can help homeowners save energy and money, including energy-efficient doors and windows and Energy Star-compliant appliances. However, there is hidden element to your home that can really save energy and lower your monthly energy bills: insulation.
Costly energy leaks in the attic of a house can be cured with proper insulation. Old and new houses alike can fall prey to energy leaks. The insulation in old homes is often inadequate to prevent energy from escaping through the windows, doors and attic of the home. In new homes, a blower door test should be performed during the construction process before drywall is installed in order to prevent energy loss. Unfortunately, this step is not always completed properly, causing high monthly energy bills in new homes.
Insulating the attic in a home is one of the best ways to prevent energy loss, and using high quality insulation is key to saving money on utility bills. There are a lot of insulation materials available on the market, but the most popular are those made from fiberglass and spray foam. Spray foam is a liquid form of polyurethane with a foaming agent that can be sprayed on. This form of insulation fills in the spaces and chinks in the attic because it expands before hardening. Fiberglass, on the other hand, is made up of recycled glass and silica and is usually available in blankets or batts (pre-cut pieces).
Spray foam insulation can also be used in areas of the home which are made of porous materials. Through the use of spray foam insulation, homeowners can keep heat, cold and moisture out of the home. Proper installation of the foam panels is necessary in order to maximize the energy-saving benefits. A professional insulation company can identify any energy leaks in your home and install spray foam insulation in order to save you money on your energy bills.
The right insulation can really save a lot of money in the long run. Spray-foam insulation can help your house remain warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Insulate your house now to start saving energy and money.
