Protect Your Home with Spray Foam Insulation Services
If you’re having trouble regulating your
home’s temperature, it is probably not properly insulated. Spray foam is an
excellent option that insulates and air seals your home at the same time. This
combination creates a barrier that keeps the inside of your home comfortable
while keeping unconditioned air, moisture, and pests outside. Lower your energy
bills and know that you are choosing an environmentally friendly option with
spray foam insulation.
At Southland Insulators, our expert spray foam
insulation contractors install spray foam insulation as well as providing several
residential home insulation services throughout Northern Virginia. We can
insulate your home, attic, basement, crawl space, or garage with spray foam,
cellulose, or fiberglass. Enjoy the comfort of keeping your home cool in the
summer and warm in the winter.
How Spray Foam Insulation Works
Our experienced insulation contractor
team at Southland Insulators is skilled
at spray foam insulation installation. As it is sprayed onto walls and into
cavities, the polyurethane spray foam insulation expands to up to 100 times its
original size to fill the space and prevent air leakage. This makes it ideal
for getting into the hardest-to-reach corners, and a great choice for home
insulation including attic
insulation, and basement
insulation.
Open Cell Spray Foam
When it dries, open cell spray foam will retain open bubble cells. It has a lower R-value than closed-cell spray foam insulation and does not provide a food source for mold.
Closed Cell Spray FoamAs with open-cell spray foam insulation,
closed-cell spray foam provides both insulation and air sealing. However, in
contrast with open-cell spray foam, closed-cell spray foam is solid. The cells
of the bubbles remain closed, making it rigid enough to provide structural
reinforcement for walls. This allows closed cell spray foam to be used in
exterior applications as well as interior ones. Like open-cell spray foam
insulation, it is not a food source for mold and offers a higher R-value than
its counterpart.
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
In addition to this energy-efficient
insulation’s ability to insulate and seal air leaks at the same time, spray
foam insulation has a host of other benefits for home insulation. The benefits include:
·
Easy installation. The spraying application allows the
insulation to access tight spaces and fill them more completely than is
possible with fiberglass batts.
·
Reduced mold potential. Spray foam insulation isn’t a food source for
mold, so it’s perfect for basement insulation where you might be worried about
dampness and mold growth.
·
Savings on your energy bill. Spray foam is extremely energy-efficient
insulation, filling air leaks in your home and insulating it from the elements.
That energy saved turns into money saved on your energy bills.
·
Strengthened walls. Using closed-cell spray foam insulation helps
strengthen buildings due to their rigidity, helping your home or business hold
up in storms.
·
Sealing against moisture and pests. Spray foam insulation seals all the tiny gaps
where air, moisture, and pests can get in.
·
Noise dampening. Open-cell spray foam can keep your home
quieter, helping to reduce noise transfer from neighbors and other rooms.
