Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation is an advanced and efficient insulation product that significantly enhances a home’s thermal efficiency. Thanks to its high R-value and unrivaled air-sealing capabilities, it effectively curtails air leakage while delivering optimal thermal performance, making it one of the highest-performing insulation products available.

Insulation Man is trained and experienced in spray foam installation for homes in the Binghamton area, and we can help you find the right application for your energy efficiency and comfort needs.

WHAT MAKES SPRAY FOAM A GOOD INSULATION MATERIAL?

Identifying the best insulation materials for your home involves various factors that need careful consideration. At Insulation Man, we take the time to understand your home’s overarching comfort and energy efficiency issues, enabling us to address them at their roots. When we determine that spray foam is the right material for your project, it is because of the exceptional benefits it provides, including:

HIGH R-VALUE

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) boasts an impressive R-value (thermal resistance) of approximately R-7 per inch of installed insulation, making it a top-performing insulation product on the market. Consequently, your home will be cozier, with reduced drafts, even in conventionally framed buildings.

SUPERIOR AIR SEALING

Spray foam’s ability to fill all cracks and gaps within the cavities it occupies gives it an edge over other insulation types such as fiberglass batts, which often struggle with air leakage. By sealing off these potential leakage spots, the foam not only reduces drafts but also curtails the infiltration of moisture and harmful gasses.

MOISTURE AND MOLD REDUCTION

Thanks to the superior air-sealing properties of spray polyurethane foam, moisture is less likely to find its way into your home or building once it’s insulated with this material. This significant reduction in moisture penetration minimizes the risk of mold growth and helps prevent the structural damage and rot that water infiltration can cause.

UNDERSTANDING THE TWO TYPES OF SPRAY FOAM INSULATION

Spray foam insulation is available in two types: open-cell and closed-cell. At Insulation Man, we exclusively offer closed-cell spray foam products. Closed-cell spray foam provides an unparalleled air and moisture barrier, rendering it the most effective insulation for energy performance. Although open-cell spray foam might cost slightly less in some scenarios, it falls short in several areas. It has a lower R-value per inch, is vulnerable to water permeation, and lacks the structural integrity that closed-cell spray foam offers.

While spray foam insulation might require a higher initial investment compared to other insulation types, its superior benefits and long-term energy savings make it a cost-effective choice in the long run. Your comfort, energy savings, and home structural integrity are our top priority, and we’re committed to providing you with solutions customized to your needs. The superior qualities of closed-cell spray foam make it a prime choice for those seeking to enhance their home’s thermal efficiency, comfort, and overall structural resilience.
