EcoHome Spray Foam Insulation

A close-cell spray insulation combines a high R-value with an air seal to help reduce energy costs. The closed structure of spray foam keeps heat from escaping your home or office, keeping it at a comfortable temperature. It can be sprayed in areas where there are usually large gaps and cracks such as attics, crawl spaces, rim joists, and knee walls. This is also an excellent choice for those with asthma, as the spray seals out allergens like dust, mold, and pollen.

Unlike fibre insulation, Spray foam insulation is a green product that can be used in new construction or retrofit applications. The process of spraying is fast, and it doesn’t require the removal of existing insulation like other types of fiberglass. Conventional fibre insulation often requires the removal of existing insulation before installation, but in some cases this is not necessary.

Why EcoHome Spray Foam is the Smart Choice for Environmentally Friendly Homes

Spray foam does off-gas a large amount of volatile organic compounds during the application and curing processes, which can cause respiratory irritation or chemical sensitization in some people. This is why it’s recommended that occupants of the building vacate during the spraying and curing process, but they can return after a short time once the product has completely cured. In addition, many manufacturers have started to transition to low GWP blowing agents for their foam products, which are less likely to be harmful to those with sensitivities.

The closed-cell structure of spray foam allows it to fill the nooks and crannies of your building envelope, which is why it’s so effective. This type of insulation can save you money on your energy bills by eliminating the air leaks that cause conventional fibre insulation to lose energy.
