Downsizing and reducing your footprint in the universe?

Tiny homes are becoming more and more popular. You can watch any number of TV reality shows depicting those who have decided to downsize and go green at the same time.

Going small doesn’t mean you can afford to disregard insulating your tiny home. Spray foam insulation can greatly improve indoor air quality and it creates a barrier that guards against the intrusion of outdoor dust, pollen and other airborne pollutants. Not only that, spray foam insulation will definitely increase your comfort level, keeping your home airtight — cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Best time to upgrade your insulation

One of the best times to insulate is during a renovation. When remodelling or changing any interior wall that shares an exterior wall, this would be a great time to upgrade your insulation.

If you have existing fiberglass or batten insulation you might be surprised to know that almost 30% of air escapes from it and that percentage increases if it is improperly installed. Spray foam conforms to the space it’s sprayed into and can decrease heating/cooling costs up to 60%.

Other spray foam features and benefits:

  • Improves air quality and helps to reduce allergic reactions to pollen and dust
  • Helps to reduce mold and mold growth
  • Water & flood resistant
  • Provides a greater sound barrier making homes and living spaces quieter
  • Does not support or spread flame
  • Not a food source for insects and vermin

The images below are from a previous garage renovation in Banff. It was the perfect opportunity to replace old fiberglass insulation with spray foam creating a warm mountain morning or winter environment.

Keep homes or buildings warm in the winter & cool in the summer

In building and construction, R-value is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier, such as a layer of insulation, resists the conductive flow of heat. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.

Insulating your exterior walls acts like a blanket keeping weather temperature extremes at bay. It creates a tight, impenetrable barrier to air infiltration and leaks, and adds structural strength. Home and building owners can use smaller, more energy efficient heating and cooling systems and achieve same level of comfort. Ultimately, it can help noticeably reduce monthly utility costs!

Unexpected spray foam solutions

Insulfoam Services Spray Foam SolutionsDid you know that spray foam will adhere to almost anything and if you use a waterproof foam? It’s true. There are many uses for spray foam that you may not have considered. For example:

  1. A loose shower head. Just cover the tile around it and spray foam in the loose area and let it harden. Then use an exacto knife to carve off the excess and replace the cover plate.
  2. Older copper pipes that are making noise. Locate the source and fill the space around the pipe with spray foam. You may have to remove a small area of drywall, but the silence will be worth the effort!
  3. Opening(s) where insects are getting into your home? Fill the crack or space with steel wool and fill with spray foam.
  4. Even a great adhesive for those outdoor projects such as sealing your leaking eavestrough or repairing decorative rock.
