What Is Spray Foam Insulation? Why Do You Need To Insulate Your Home?
|
Spray foam insulation is essentially a liquid foam, which is sprayed into gaps or cracks in walls, floors or any surface and creates an insulating layer within these gaps or cracks. Spray Foam (SPF) is used far and wide to insulate buildings, sealing holes and cracks, which makes the building more energy-efficient.
With a humidity level of 68% and wind speed of 11km/h, a lot of home owners and business owners are investing in spray foam insulation in Lincoln, NE to keep their homes well insulated against the elements. There are two types of spray foam insulation and they are: Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation Open cell spray foam is a light liquid foam that has low density and is used to fill in larger areas with less product. It is the more affordable choice of spray foam insulation but it not as effectual as the closed cell type. It is ill-advised for open cell insulation to be used in areas that are in constant contact with moisture as the density of open cell spray foam insulation does not possess the required density to withstand direct moisture. Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation Closed cell spray foam is the more costly form of insulation when compared to its lighter counterpart. When installed properly, it offers better insulation that any other on the market. Because of the density of closed cell spray foam insulation, it adds structural strength to ceilings, walls and roofs. |

Here are a few great benefits of installing spray foam installation in homes and business buildings. Lower Energy Costs A home or business owner can make huge savings on the cost of energy required to heat or cool a building by choosing spray insulation. Energy costs are usually the highest expense for a household or business, therefore cutting such expenses by any percentage is a definite advantage. Spray foam insulation in Lincoln, NE is more than a trend for builders and property owners. It is a great investment to make for one’s building as it saves up to 30% of energy cost when compared to other forms of insulation like fiberglass insulation that have particles, which still allow air movement. Moisture and Mold Resistant In Lincoln NE, spray foam insulation is recommended for residential and commercial buildings to provide protection for the attic or crawl space from dampness and to even safeguard the building against flooding. This foam product also protects buildings against the formation of mold or bacteria unlike cellulose insulation that encourages mildew and mold growth. |

Air-Tight and Sound-Proof Sealing Unlike blown insulation such as cellulose insulation and fiberglass insulation, spray insulation has no loose particles but rather is made of a polymer that is not just dense but also expansive as it is made to fill even the smallest holes and cracks. As expert insulation contractors, we understand the dangers of such leaks because they are the main culprits that cause energy loss in buildings. Based on our expertise, Lincoln NE spray foam insulation is the best type of sound-proof insulation as this insulation can aid in dampening sound and reducing transmission of sound into the room. Environmentally Friendly Spray foam insulation is an economical and environmentally friendly substitute to fiber insulation, like fiberglass or cellulose. While other insulation techniques may seem inexpensive upon first glance, they do not measure up to the superior energy efficiency of spray foam insulation when you comprehend how R-values and air barriers can influence your monthly energy expenditure. Also spray foam insulation in Lincoln NE helps to eradicate dust and pollen permeation and to reduce the likelihood of mold formation, noise pollution and ice dams. |

Types of Insulation and Their Installation Methods
As recorded by the US Department of Energy (DOE), there are various types of insulations and each type has its installation method. We would take a look at the most popular home insulation and commercial insulation types.
Batts and Rolls insulation is made of fiberglass, mineral, plastic fibers and natural fibers. This type of insulation is fitted between studs, joists and beams. This is a good insulation for floors, unfinished walls, foundation walls and ceilings.
Loose-fill and Blown-in insulation is made of cellulose, fiberglass and mineral. This insulation type may either be blown into position using special blowing equipment or could be poured in. This loose type of insulation is ideal for new wall cavities, enclosed existing walls, uncompleted attic floors and other areas that are hard to reach.
Spray Foam insulation is made up of isocyanate and polyol resin, which react with each other to become expansive when sprayed. Spray foam insulation is installed by using either small sized spray containers that can be held in the hand or can be applied in larger amounts using a pressure sprayer. This a versatile insulation can be applied virtually anywhere in the home or business premises.

Hiring Professionals Rather Than Doing-It-Yourself
|
Here are a few reasons why you should get professionals to insulate your home and business:
Experience Years of hands-on experience like we possess would always trump any amount of formal training. DIY insulation most often than not results in more inferior insulation than when a real professional does the job. Knowledge It is not enough to know what insulation you want to apply, it is wise to know the Nebraska Insulation Code, which any good professional insulation contractor would know. Also, knowledge of climate, home design and house size matters when considering insulation techniques. These are factors, which true professionals would take into consideration before embarking on an insulation project. Proper Tools The proper tools certainly make all the difference to how your insulation project would turn out. There are bound to be required tools that even the most enthusiastic DIYer would either not have access to or would have no knowledge of how to use. And this is where a professional insulation contractor is required as the expert will have not just access to specialty equipment but would also have operational knowledge of them. |
