With rising energy costs, and a focus on health and green environmental issues, many builders and home owners are turning to spray foam insulation for new and renovated homes. This is one of the most effective ways to significantly reduce energy bills and keep your house more comfortable all year round.
TCS Insulation & Coatings is a two-part mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin that is sprayed into place. It expands and solidifies, filling every crack and crevice to prevent air leaks that waste valuable energy and increase your monthly utility bills. The spray foam also acts as a moisture barrier to prevent the entry of water and mold spores into your home.
The Science Behind Spray Foam Insulation: Insights from TCS Insulation & Coatings
It can be installed in a variety of places and has much greater flexibility than other types of insulation. It can be sprayed in attics, walls, crawl spaces, basements, and roofs to prevent heat loss or air infiltration. A trained spray foam installer can point the gun at a space and spray it to create a dense, high-performance, airtight seal.
In terms of energy efficiency, homeowners should aim for a thickness between 2 and 3 inches in their walls and roofs. This will provide the optimum amount of insulation to help you reduce your energy consumption and monthly utility bills. In addition, look for closed-cell spray foam insulators that use low-GWP blowing agents such as HFOs (hydrophobic organic compounds) instead of HFCs. This will allow you to meet strict green building certifications like Passive House.
