Spray Foam Insulation: A Winter Essential for Homes & Businesses
Insulation isn’t typically something you think about until it goes wrong.
Here in Houston, cold nights, high humidity and unpredictable weather can throw your insulation for a loop. When it comes to a well-insulated space, we’ve got you covered. Here are five ways spray foam insulation can help you out this winter.
Insulation and Air Barrier
Spray foam doubles as an air barrier. It seals gaps and cracks that traditional insulation methods often miss. The job is done right the first time. One install. Years of benefits.
Energy Efficiency
Did you know that up to 40% of a building’s energy loss can be attributed to air leakage? Proper winter insulation will significantly reduce your energy waste. Are you building a home? Maybe you’re managing a commercial project, too? The decisions you make now add up over the future. Investing in energy-efficient insulation pays dividends long past winter.
Temperature Regulation
Spray foam also acts as a thermal barrier. This benefit is especially critical for commercial insulation projects where precise temperature control is operationally necessary.
Moisture Control
Cold weather often brings undesirable companions. No, we’re not talking about the family you’d rather not see till the New Year. Condensation is a cold weather killer. Closed-cell spray foam helps you manage moisture-related problems by forming a water-resistant barrier. Unlike other insulation types that can absorb and hold water, closed-cell spray foam repels moisture, reducing the risk of mold, mildew, and structural damage.
Air Quality
Feeling sneezy this holiday season? Spray foam promotes better indoor air quality by sealing out allergens and pollutants. Both open-cell and closed-cell spray foam do this, but to varying degrees. Closed-cell creates a tighter seal than open-cell.
