One of the best times to insulate is during a renovation. If you are remodeling or changing any interior wall that is 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 number increases if it is improperly installed.
Spray foam does conform to the space in which it is in and can decrease heating/cooling costs up to 60%.
Other benefits:
- Can improve air quality and help to reduce allergic reactions to pollen and dust
- Helps to reduce mold and mold growth
- Water & flood resistant
- Does not support or spread flame
- Provides a greater sound barrier making homes and living spaces quieter
- Spray foam is not a food source for insects and vermin.
