Spray Foam Insulation

 

Premier Spray Foam is a malleable, flexible insulation and air barrier that’s sprayed in walls, floors, and ceilings. It creates a powerful barrier that restricts air movement in homes and reduces energy consumption, making your home more comfortable and environmentally friendly.

Today’s closed-cell spray foam insulation has an R-value of 6.0-7.0 per inch and offers more thermal resistance than other commercial insulation materials. Its most significant attribute, however, is its ability to seal creating a custom airtight envelope within the building structure. This is critical because convective heat transfer is much less of a problem in the spray foam insulated home than in other types of homes.

Closed-cell spray foam also creates an air and vapor barrier in one, eliminating the need for homeowners to install a separate vapor barrier on top of their insulation. As an added benefit, spray foam can help block moisture in areas that are often problematic for homes such as around light fixtures, electrical outlets and doors.

Spray Foam Safety

Spray foam is non-toxic only after it dries, but it’s essential to wear a respirator when installing spray insulation because it releases a gas called dimethyl methyl silane (DMMS) that can cause blurred vision and difficulty breathing. It’s best to have a professional installer handle the installation process and ensure that all health and safety precautions are taken.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to avoid using spray foam in the attic of your home because many mortgage lenders will not lend on properties with spray foam roof insulation. This is because it’s difficult for surveyors or valuers to accurately assess the condition of the roof and loft when the insulating foam is present.
