Home insulation creates a powerful barrier that restricts air flow and fills in cracks and crevices. This allows it to provide a tight seal around electrical outlets, light fixtures, and window and door frames. The result is an energy efficient home or business that reduces HVAC costs by 50% right away.
Aside from its energy savings, spray foam also prevents moisture from leaking into your home. Moisture leakage leads to mold and mildew, and can also lead to rot in drywall and wood framing. Because of this, spray foam is impermeable to water and vapor, which makes it an excellent choice for homes in Florida’s humid climate.
Frequently Asked Questions About Spray Foam Insulation
Another benefit of spray foam is that it’s durable and long-lasting. Unlike fiberglass and other insulation materials, spray foam does not shrink over time. This helps to maintain the integrity of your walls and roof, and it can even strengthen your home’s structure. Spray foam also withstands high winds, which is important in a hurricane-prone state like Florida. Some spray foams even demonstrate wind uplift resistance that meets the “High Velocity Hurricane Zone” criteria of the Florida Building Code.
Hiring a professional spray foam contractor is the best way to ensure that your home gets properly insulated. Spray foam expands quickly when mixed, and professionals know how to apply it in an even layer that prevents sagging or swelling. They also understand how to install it in a way that will meet or exceed all local building codes and requirements.
