Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation
There are leaders and followers. Pioneers and pretenders. Those who open new areas of thought with research and development—and those who let others blaze the trail. Imitation may be a form of flattery but flattery will only get you so far. It’s time to set the record straight on who is the undisputed leader in foam insulation solutions.
Air Barrier
If Walls Could Talk
Actually they do. So do floors and ceilings. They speak in the form of high heating and cooling bills due to energy lost from air leakage—31% of all air leakage can be attributed to walls, floors and ceilings. Conventional, air permeable fiber insulation, regardless of R-value, will have its performance compromised by any gaps and seams where air can get in and out.More than just insulation, spray foam has been tested to the ASTM E283 protocol and validated as an air barrier material. It expands into cracks, crevices and gaps to reduce air leaks thus providing a more energy efficient and ultimately healthier home or workplace.With both light and medium density products that are classified as both insulation and air barrier materials, spray foam has a solution to meet the needs of almost any residential or commercial structure in becoming more energy efficient and less susceptible to airborne moisture, pollutants or allergens. Your walls, floors and ceilings are talking and they are demanding spray foam insulation solutions. |

Major Sources of Air Leaks
Many homeowners are unaware that almost 1/3 of air leakage is through floors,
walls and ceilings. This can lead to significant energy loss that is both costly and
uncomfortable to homeowners and building occupants.
