A home’s insulation plays an important role in reducing energy bills, delivering comfort and helping to protect a home or building’s structural integrity. It also plays an essential role in the safety of a building’s occupants and its contents, especially in the event of fire or water damage. There are a number of different types of insulation available for homeowners, but spray foam is one of the most durable and effective options on the market.
Attic insulation starts as a liquid and is sprayed by a professional into tight spaces, filling crevices and sealing leaks to create an airtight barrier. It can be sprayed into walls, attics, crawl space and rim joists in new construction homes and pole barns, as well as existing homes and commercial structures.
Understanding Spray Foam Insulation’s Role in Fire Safety
It has a higher R-value than traditional fiberglass batt insulation, which helps reduce energy costs and keep a home warm in winter and cool in summer. It also has the ability to seal air leaks, which reduces HVAC system workload and prevents the waste of money on unnecessary energy usage.
Foam insulation can diminish sound transmission and contribute to a quieter, more comfortable indoor environment. This can make it easier to concentrate in work or school environments and provides a more peaceful sleep in residential settings.
Foam insulation can also help protect against pests, which is an important consideration for those in rural or urban areas that may be surrounded by wildlife and busy roads. It can also prevent moisture entrapment, which protects the occupants of the building from mold and mildew growth that can threaten the structure’s health and safety.
