Allstate Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is an excellent way to boost your home’s energy efficiency. By sealing gaps and cracks, spray foam prevents unwanted air flow which is responsible for 40% of your home’s heating and cooling costs. Insulation is not only non-toxic, it is also Eco-friendly and can reduce your energy consumption considerably.
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a spray-applied plastic that is widely used to insulate buildings and seal gaps and crevices. It is a cost-effective solution for both new construction and retrofit applications. It is usually applied by a professional contractor who uses a spray gun to apply the foam in even layers and saturates areas that need more insulation. The spray foam expands once it contacts the air, so professional contractors can easily achieve a dense and complete insulation layer without sagging or lumping.
FAQs About Spray Foam Insulation Answered
Open cell spray foam is typically made from water, whereas closed-cell foam contains an isocyanate blowing agent such as methylene diphenyl diisocyanate or polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate. Isocyanates are powerful irritants that affect the eyes, gastrointestinal tract and respiratory system of exposed people. Exposure to isocyanates can lead to chemical bronchitis, an illness that progresses to asthma attacks with repeated exposure.
Although there are spray foam kits that homeowners can buy to do the job themselves, the best choice is to have a professional insulation contractor install the product. Professional contractors can apply the spray foam faster and neatly and will ensure that all work meets proper building codes. Additionally, they will have the necessary safety gear and plastic sheets to protect your belongings from the mess as the spray foam dries and emits volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
