Insulating structures against the heat and cold has been a major concern in building design for as long as people have been building shelters. Today, there are a wide range of materials used to prevent heat from moving in and out of buildings, including fiberglass, cellulose, and more. Our team at Cape Fear Foam LLC specializes in installing foam insulation, and there are several benefits this material has to offer.
- Thermal Resistance – One of the chief benefits of spray foam insulation is its high thermal resistance. To put it simply, foam insulation does an excellent job of preventing heat transfer, which means it will effectively keep your interior cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Preventing heat transfer is the main job of insulation, so it’s important to choose a material that is effective for this purpose.
- Noise Reduction – Another key benefit of spray foam insulation is its ability to muffle noise from outdoors. If you live on a busy streetcorner, have noisy neighbors, or want to reduce street noise for any reason, we encourage you to choose foam insulation.
- Moisture Control – A third benefit of spray foam insulation is the way it expands to fill all the space around it, even the tiniest gaps in your home’s exterior. This in turn means foam insulation is excellent at preventing drafts and keeping outdoor moisture out of your home. Moisture control is important for protecting your home from mold, so we highly recommend spray foam insulation.
