New is
always a scary concept. Change is a
constant part of life, but that doesn’t make it easier. You remember the adjustment from high school
to college or your first day at your new job; you were forced outside of your
comfort zone.
But
eventually you realized it wasn’t so bad and that maybe, just maybe there was
good you could gain from it. Well for many people owning a home for the first
time, whether it is a house that needs some fixing up or a brand new build it is
new territory with many unknowns.
Due to a
lack of experience, many homeowners scowl the Internet for useful tidbits of
information on everything from appliances to insulation. It is for this reason that I offer you a
quick run down on the latter. More specifically one of the best types of insulation, spray foam insulation. The following is a brief report on all that spray foam insulation has to offer.
The Benefits
- Creates complete air barrier
- Saves money on your energy bill
- Ensures quieter spaces
- Improves air quality
- Reduces airborne allergens
- Maintains better balanced room temperatures (more comfortable)
- No settling - Constant R-Value
- Can reduce A/C tonnage requirement
- Blocks pests and rodents
- Residential
- Commercial
- Industrial/Agricultural
- Open Cell Foam
- Closed Cell Foam
The difference
Because spray foam insulation is newer than most other types
of insulation, it is a scary commitment.
It is generally speaking more expensive up front, and many doubt the effectiveness and
advantages. Although it is not as widely
accepted or implemented, with the right contractor it can make all the
difference in a new or existing building.
