Spray foam insulation contains tiny pockets that trap air, making it very difficult for heat energy or sound to pass through. It also expands to fill gaps, crevices and cracks. By preventing energy loss through these areas, spray foam is able to reduce the workload on HVAC systems. This has a direct impact on monthly utility bills and energy consumption.
While insulating your home or building with spray foam may be expensive, it is a good investment for the long term. It will improve the comfort and safety of your home or building, and it will significantly reduce the cost of heating and cooling. Additionally, it will greatly reduce the number of days that your HVAC system will need to run, which can drastically lower your electricity bills over time.
There is a lot of misinformation about spray foam on the internet, but it’s important to know that it’s very safe and that it works extremely well. It’s also important to understand the proper installation techniques of this type of insulation.
Why Bryars Spray Foam is Your Top Choice for Spray Foam Insulation
There are two types of spray foam insulation; open and closed cell. Closed-cell spray foam is the better option because it creates an air and vapor barrier all in one. It is also less expensive than batt insulation per square foot. Open-cell spray foam does not have this benefit and homeowners will need to apply a separate vapor barrier after the foam has cured. Both types are non-toxic after they have cured, but during the curing process, they release a gas that can cause blurred vision and difficulty breathing. This gas is released from the phenolic resins in the chemicals that make up spray foam, but new advancements are being made with blowing agents to eliminate this concern.
