When you’re planning to complete any home remodeling or building project, you’ll need to understand the insulation needs for your particular venture. While traditional insulation certainly has its place in modern construction, it is rarely the best choice. Foam It Green spray foam is usually the best choice in many circumstances, giving you more effective insulation plus air seal!

Foam It Green spray foam is an efficient system for insulating your home, and it presents a number of advantages over more traditional insulation materials. For one, it is an extremely efficient insulating material with an R-value of 7 per inch.

Why is R-value so important? R-value is the measure of a material’s ability to maintain the internal temperature of your home, and represents the material’s effectiveness in blocking heat. The R-value represents the amount of heat or energy the material can block, measured against the space of the material. The higher the R-value, the better. With Foam It Green spray foam, the R-value is double that of fiberglass or cellulose at a whopping 7 per inch, making it a highly effective method of insulation.

Foam It Green provides efficiency through a tight air seal to block air flow and transference of conditioned air out of your home. By keeping the internal temperature steady, you use less energy heating or cooling the air. No other form of insulation provides a tight air seal.

The two most important things to stop your home from losing energy are to stop conduction and convection. By having the highest R-value, Foam It Green slows down conduction more than other forms of insulation (the transference of heat through an object). By providing the tight air seal, Foam It Green STOPS convection (the transference of heat via air movement).

Foam It Green also stops water transfer, which batts cannot do. Moisture rots your home. Moldy fiberglass can seriously harm your family’s respiratory health. The only way to stop water infiltration is to use closed cell Foam It Green.

Foam it Green also never sags or settles, so it never loses its effectiveness at stopping air flow. Homes that were foamed in the 80’s are still snug as a bug. While Foam It Green has continued to improve and enhance the materials used in the making and spraying of the foam, the end result will still be there for your children’s children. It is a solution that allows you not to have to continually redo your insulation. Isn’t it nice to be able to set it and forget it?

While installing spray foam insulation in your home can be more expensive upfront than fiberglass batt, it is a more cost-efficient long-term solution to insulation needs. Not only does it eliminate some of the costs associated with installing new insulation over and over again, but it also gives you highly efficient insulation for years to come that saves you hundreds on energy bills.
