Performance features of spray foam
No other insulation can come close to the overall performance of Spray Foam insulation. View the full performance chart here.
Highest R-Value Available
Spray polyurethane foam offers the most R-Value per inch of any insulation available. Conventional insulation products rely on the laboratory R-Value which can be reduced by up to 50% under actual living conditions. Foam insulation relies on the performance R which is well over the stated R-Value while performing under actual conditions.
Build it tight, vent it right
Foam insulation systems defy the traditional building practices by focusing on creating a tight building envelope. Current research proves that the best way to design a structure to be healthier and more energy efficient is to build it as tight as possible and vent it right.
Improve heating and cooling performance
An air tight building has fewer air exchanges reducing the need to continually recondition the air. This allows the mechanical equipment to operate in longer cycles, improving equipment efficiency and life cycle.
Payback
While the installed cost of foam insulation tends to be higher than conventional insulating products, the payoff is far greater than the additional investment and is often returned in less than 5 years. Foam buildings realize between 30% and 50% savings on utilities compared with conventional insulated buildings. As long as the cost of electricity continues to increase, so will the positive cash flow from the return on your investment in foam insulation.
Energy Star, tax deductions, rebates, and conservation
In addition to the $2,000.00 tax credit available from the government for building an Energy Star rated building, more and more utility providers are offering rebates for energy efficient homes that conserve energy. Spray foam insulation easily qualifies for Energy Star and LEEDs programs.
