If you’re noticing higher air conditioning and heating bills or feeling uncomfortable drafts of warm or chilly air despite adjusting your thermostat, you might be wondering if it’s time to update your home’s insulation.
With so many different types, the frequent need for professional installation, and the expense to think about, insulation can feel complicated. To make the process simpler, here are a few simple things you should know about spray foam insulation before getting started.
Spray Foam Insulation
As the name implies, spray foam insulation is sprayed into place. After it is applied, spray foam insulation expands, filling all the nooks and crannies to effectively keep air and allergens out and comfortable temperatures in. Spray foam insulation is also very effective at keeping out moisture, limiting mold growth within your home, and dampening sound, giving you a soothingly still and tranquil home, even if you live on a particularly busy street.
Cost-Effective
While spray foam insulation might be more costly than other types of insulation on the front end, it is also more efficient at insulating your home. This means a greater savings on your energy bills over time, which ends up saving you much more than the initial cost.
Installation
Spray foam is made from polyurethane, which can pose health risks if proper precautions are not taken. This means the installation of your spray foam insulation should always be left to a seasoned and qualified professional, such as us at Cape Fear Foam LLC.
