Sprayed Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Insulation
– A little known alternative with Big Benefits
 SPF
meets the insulation requirements for both new construction and improvements
to existing structures and it increase the structural integrity of the
building.
All
insulations of equal R-value do not perform equally. SPF is sprayed on the
wall and ceiling as a liquid and it expands in seconds to form a seamless,
monolithic barrier that prevents air and water filtration and prevents
drafts. SPF helps maintain constant temperature throughout the building this
helps with air quality and reduces the infiltration of outside air
pollutants with in the building.
Conventional insulations (fiberglass, cellulose, rockwall) leave gaps and
seams around window and door framing, air can escape on enter. When air
transfers happen – warm outside air meets cool air conditioned inside air or
cold outside air meets warm heated inside air condensation can occur over
time, this moisture can cause conventional insulations to mold and mildew.
These air transfers do not occur when using SPF insulation which causes the
building to be safe from outdoor pollutants and to be more energy efficient.
When SPF is sprayed in the walls it fills every crevice and crack, it does
not shrink or settle of turn to dust over time.
  
R-value is not the only thing to consider when insulating, it is more
important to eliminate air leakage through out the building which SPF does.
Putting the right insulation in your building can be an investment that will
pay for itself in reduced energy consumption which in turn pays your back n
fuel and electrical cost and with the high cost of both these days it just
makes sense to put SPF in your walls and ceilings.
Many take insulation for granted but it is very important because it is
something that can not be changed after the building is completed. Keep in
mind that conventional insulations do not stop air leakage so it can not
save in energy consumption like SPF. Insulating with Spray Polyurethane Foam
can provide a safer, healthier, quieter, more efficient place to work or
live. Call Schmidt Roofing Services for a free estimate before starting your
next insulation project.
