New Generation Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to fiberglass batts. It prevents heat loss during the winter and helps your heating system work more efficiently, lowering your energy bills. Similarly, during the summer, it stops hot air from seeping into your home, keeping your space cool and cutting down on your cooling bills.
It also seals air leaks, which can add up over time and lead to high utility bills. The spray can be applied around electrical outlets, light fixtures and in the corners where walls meet windows or doors. It’s suitable for new construction and can be used in attics, crawl spaces, rim joists, and metal buildings as long as all cavities are accessible.
Comparing New Generation Spray Foam to Fiberglass Insulation
While it’s non-toxic once it’s cured, spray foam emits a gas during curing. The chemical is called isocyanates, and exposure can cause eye irritation and respiratory problems. Over time, repeated exposure can lead to bronchitis.
Those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions are susceptible to it as well. For this reason, it’s recommended to use full face and respiratory protection when applying the spray.
In addition, the spray can be dangerous to touch if wet, so it’s important to wear gloves when handling. It’s also advisable to have it professionally installed, as this will ensure that you get consistent coverage and expansion throughout the entire area you want to insulate. It will also help you avoid mistakes that could lead to poor performance or even voiding your warranty.
