When it comes to keeping your home comfortable, few insulation products have the versatility and effectiveness of spray foam. Spray foam insulation is a popular product because it can be used in existing homes to replace fiberglass, or in new construction and pole barns to help with energy efficiency. It’s also a great choice for green weatherization projects, since the federal government and Efficiency Vermont offer rebates to encourage homeowners to upgrade their heating and cooling systems.
New Generation Spray Foam foam insulation is applied using a high-powered, computerized gun to form a thick coating that adheres to the sides of walls and ceilings. This creates a sealed space that keeps warm air in during winter and hot outdoor air out during summer, cutting down on heating and cooling bills.
Depending on how the foam is made, it can emit toxic fumes while it’s curing. The vapors from the isocyanate and other chemicals can irritate the eyes, lungs, throat and digestive tract. Long-term exposure can lead to chemical bronchitis and even asthma.
The New Generation Difference: Advanced Spray Foam Technology
It’s important to hire a qualified contractor when installing spray foam. Untrained installers can damage a home’s structure, leaving it vulnerable to moisture damage, rotted framing and toxic mold. They may also expose homeowners to health risks from the off-gassing of the chemicals.
A trained and certified crew will use a large truck or trailer to spray the foam insulation. The rig is equipped with a computer that ensures the spray mixture and temperature are perfect for optimal results. The crew will remove any existing insulation before applying the spray foam and can also seal rim joists, crawl spaces and bare walls in new construction and pole barns.
