Spray foam insulation is a great choice for homes that have a lot of gaps, crevices, or tight spaces. It expands to fill these spaces and create an air seal that will help you save energy. In addition, unlike other insulating materials, spray foam won’t compress or lose its shape over time.

The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

You’re probably familiar with spray foam insulation as it appears to be the hottest new trend in green weatherization. Homeowners and contractors alike are embracing this premium insulator as a way to reduce home energy costs and cut carbon emissions. Many are even able to take advantage of tax rebates and incentives that offer substantial financial savings on the installation costs.

The main reason behind this surge is because of spray foam’s superior thermal properties and its ability to insulate areas where other materials simply can’t. While cellulose, mineral wool and foam board insulation can do a decent job in most situations, spray foam has proven to be more effective and efficient.

Additionally, the open-cell spray foam that we use does not contain a chemical known as polyisocyanurate or HFC-32. This is a significant step toward sustainability as HFCs have a global warming potential of 3,400 times that of carbon dioxide.

If you’re thinking about installing spray foam insulation in your home, it’s important to choose a professional contractor that uses a climate safe blowing agent. This is because the HFC-32 blowing agents used in traditional spray foam are currently on the verge of being phased out under the Kigali Amendment to the 1987 Montreal Protocol.

A little damp here and there is normal, but if it stays longer or gets bigger then it could be something to worry about. If you think you may have a damp problem in your home then you need to book a specialist surveyor to visit and look for any evidence of it.

Is rising damp worse when raining?

The first place most people notice signs of rising damp are in the internal walls of their property, where the deterioration is visible, such as peeling wallpaper and plaster. Often, a tide mark or stain will be formed where the groundwater has penetrated into the wall, usually around two meters above the skirting boards.

There is a range of technologies available to treat rising damp repair, but not all of them work as well as they should, so you need to find the right solution for your building. The best option will depend on your needs, but we can help you organise a survey and quote for a damp-proof course treatment that is the most suitable for your home.

Damp Proofing

The most effective way of treating rising damp is by introducing a chemical pressure injection into the brickwork. This works by lining the pores of the substrate to reduce their size, meaning that water can no longer pass through but air can still get in.

This method will also reduce the amount of dirt that is brought into your home as the pores in the masonry are blocked. This means that you won’t have to clean the surface of your brickwork as frequently, and it can be done without the need for drilling into the exterior of the building.

Insulation Contractor is an effective energy-efficient insulation material. It reduces the amount of time your heater and air conditioner have to work to keep your home insulated, which means they will use less electricity. This will help to minimize carbon footprints and protect the environment.

Open- and closed-cell spray foam insulation acts as both a heat barrier and air sealant, sealing the nooks and crannies that let air escape your home or commercial building. Air leakage can cost you money in the form of higher energy bills.

Preparing Your Home for New Generation Spray Foam Insulation

In addition to saving on energy costs, spray foam will also reduce noise pollution within your home or commercial property. Both open and closed-cell foam insulation absorb sound waves, limiting street noise and making it easier to communicate within your home.

New generation spray foam insulation is environmentally friendly, containing no toxic chemicals such as isocyanates. Isocyanates are powerful irritants to the eyes and gastrointestinal tract. They can also lead to chemical bronchitis in the respiratory tract, which can progress to full-blown asthma if overexposure occurs again.

Spray foam is made of an inert polymer that does not deteriorate over time, requiring fewer materials to be replaced than traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation. It can be installed in attics, basements, crawl spaces, rim joists, and walls. It can also be sprayed on exterior walls during the rough-in stage of construction to fill cracks and voids around electrical wiring, plumbing, and water and sewer pipes.
