EcoHome Spray Foam is an effective, affordable solution to sealing gaps and cracks in your home. It is a great option for saving energy and increasing the value of your home. It is also a healthier choice than conventional fiberglass batt insulation, as it does not contain the fungus-causing mold mycelia that can be found in some other types of insulation.
Traditional spray foam contains a large number of primary chemicals, including isocyanate and polyol. These chemicals are mixed together to form polyurethane and then sprayed onto surfaces and allowed to expand. The expansion causes the spray to bond with surfaces, and then it is cured, which produces a hard, solid insulation material.
Spray Foam Insulation: The Key to Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Living
The spray foam insulation industry has moved towards climate safe alternatives to the traditional petrochemical blowing agents. This change was necessitated by the phasing out of CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs in order to comply with the Kigali Amendment to the 1987 Montreal Protocol.
Closed-cell spray foam insulation is still a better choice than open cell, as it is physically stronger and creates a more effective vapor barrier than cellulose or fiberglass batts. This type of spray insulation can be more expensive than open-cell, and it requires a more sophisticated installation process.
It is important to have your spray foam insulation installed by a qualified contractor. If the insulation is installed incorrectly, it can trap moisture and cause mold to grow inside your home. If this occurs, the cost of remediation may significantly outweigh the initial savings made from using spray foam insulation.
