EcoHome Spray Foam Insulation
EcoHome Spray Foam creates a tight seal in your home which helps to prevent air leaks. Air leaks cause heat to escape your house in the summer and in the winter making your energy bills high. Having your home properly insulated with spray foam will cut your utility costs significantly by reducing the amount of time that your heating and cooling system is running.
You can use open or closed cell spray foam. Closed cell foam is denser and will offer higher R-values than open foam insulation. It is more expensive but offers greater durability and can be used in places that open cell cannot, such as voids around plumbing or electrical wiring. You can also use soy based spray insulation which uses less chemicals but is open celled and won’t perform as well as the polyurethane foams.
Why EcoHome Spray Foam is the Sustainable Choice for Insulation
Open and closed cell spray foam can be installed in a variety of areas including basement rim joists, crawl spaces, attics, overhangs and knee walls. It can be added during the rough-in stage of construction or in existing homes to fill voids.
Choosing the right spray foam is important. Be sure to do your research and only work with a company that is licensed, insured and trained in the installation of spray foam insulation. There is a shortage of weatherization experts and contractors, which means many homeowners are having spray foam insulation improperly installed, with poor results.
Isocyanates used during the spraying process are harmful if inhaled. They are powerful irritants to the eyes, gastrointestinal tract and respiratory systems. Over exposure can cause chemical bronchitis. The blowing agents for spray foam, known as hydrofluorocarbons, have a Global Warming Potential of 3,400 times that of carbon dioxide on a per kilogram basis.
