Spray foam insulation in Gainesville, GA is an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly option for new and existing homes. It seals air leakage and helps to reduce high utility bills, strengthen the building structure, protect the indoor environment from harmful mold and airborne pollutants, and save on heating and cooling costs. It is also easier to install in hard to reach areas than other types of insulation materials.
When compared to traditional fiberglass insulation, spray foam can increase the R-value (heat resistance) of walls and attics by up to 50%. It consists of a mixture of polyols and a catalyst that is sprayed on to surfaces, such as attics or the rim joist in an existing home, overhangs (or cantilevers) or knee walls in a new construction home, and open wall framing in pole barns. The foam expands and fills in all cracks, holes and crevices to provide a tight building envelope.
Spray Foam Insulation: What Makes Georgia Insulation Stand Out
The foam has several air pockets that trap and retain heat, preventing thermal bridging that causes hot and cold spots in a home or commercial building. Unlike some other types of insulation, it does not contain organic material like fiberglass, which makes it less susceptible to moisture condensation in cold climates.
It is very important that you find a spray insulation company that is certified by the foam manufacturer. You want to ensure that the rigs being used are properly equipped with the proper air and water-tight spray systems. The installation process can take a while, but it is well worth the effort in terms of long-term energy savings. Spray foam insulation requires some time to cure, and there is often off-gassing odors that need to be addressed.
