A versatile energy-efficient insulation material, A-1 Insulation is created by mixing and reacting unique liquid components that expand to create a thick barrier. When applied correctly, this insulation can prevent air leaks and maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reducing heating and cooling costs. It also protects against moisture and provides a sound-dampening effect.
Before any work can begin, it is critical to ensure that the area to be insulated is clear and free of obstacles, debris or existing materials that could inhibit the effectiveness of the installation. A trained installer will then prepare the surface by cleaning and repairing gaps. They can then spray the insulation into attics, crawl spaces and rim joists in existing homes as well as walls in new construction.
The Environmental Benefits of Using Spray Foam Insulation
The spray-applied insulation forms a tight seal, minimizing air infiltration and insulating the entire home or commercial building. This helps to keep warm, conditioned air in during the winter and cold outdoor air out during the summer, so that heaters and air conditioners don’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature.
As an air and moisture barrier, spray foam insulation can prevent small cracks from becoming damp, humid environments where fungus thrives. This is important, since mold and mildew have a significant negative impact on the comfort of living or working spaces.
While fiberglass batt insulation remains a popular choice for many homeowners, spray foam can offer additional benefits that make it an effective alternative. It is extremely durable and resistant to settling, providing a consistent performance for years without the need for replacement. And, it is available in R-values that can greatly enhance the insulating power of a home.
