You should put spray foam insulation in your home or business for several reasons.
First, it is a very effective way to seal the building envelope. This means that it will help keep out wind, rain, and cold air. Second, it provides an excellent barrier against water damage from leaks. This can save you thousands of dollars over time on repairs and maintenance costs. Finally, it has an R-value of up to 6 per inch! That means that if you have a 2x6 wall with 1 inch of spray foam in between the studs, you'll have an R-value of 12!

WHAT IS SPRAY FOAM INSULATION?
Spray foam insulation is made up of two components: a liquid chemical mixture called an "emulsion" and pressurized air (or sometimes water). When mixed together, these chemicals react with each other and form an expanding gas that becomes foamy as it hardens. This chemical reaction makes the foam very strong: It can withstand temperatures from -40°F up to 200°F without losing its strength or elasticity!

How Long Will Insulation Last?
Traditional fiberglass insulation can exist for several years, but it loses efficiency and never provides a perfect seal against air flow. The level of effectiveness will also be affected by the presence of moisture. As this form of insulation settles and deteriorates over time, you may need to replace it or add to it.

Spray foam, on the other hand, has a lifespan of 80 years or more.  It's a far more long-term and effective solution. While the initial cost will be higher, the longevity and efficiency of spray foam make it a very cost-effective solution.

 

What is R-Value?

R-Value, commonly known as thermal resistance, is a measurement of a material's ability to resist heat transmission through it. The higher the R-Value, the better a material is at insulating and preventing heat flow.

The R-Value is significant because it influences the energy efficiency of a home or company. A higher R-Value means that less heat will escape through walls, floors, and roofs during the winter and less cool air will escape during the summer, which can result in cheaper energy bills. Knowing the R-Value can also aid in the selection of insulation and building materials, as materials having a higher R-Value are often more effective at providing insulation. Spray foam has a greater R-Value per inch thick than most other varieties.
