spray foam insulation | A-1 Insulation
A-1 Insulation energy cost to heat and cool a home is largely determined by its insulating value, called R-value. The higher the R-value, the more insulated the home is. There are many options available for insulating a home, including blown-in fiberglass, cellulose, and spray foam. The difference between spray foam and other insulation is that a spray foam application forms a sealed air barrier, which cuts down on heat loss.
Some green builders and contractors promote spray foam as a quick, inexpensive way to cut heating costs. But, in the words of Efficiency Vermont, “the lack of qualified weatherization experts and contractors has created a Wild West world for spray insulation installation,” with improper applications potentially causing extensive moisture damage and mold.
A-1 Insulation: Your Trusted Experts for Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is a spray-applied liquid that expands to fill gaps and crevices. It is used in both new construction and retrofits, and in walls, floors, ceilings, and attics. Low-VOC spray foam is available, which reduces off-gassing and has a shorter re-occupancy time of around two hours. In order to receive the highest R-value possible, the spray foam must be applied properly and fully seal the home’s building envelope.
