How A-1 Insulation Works
A-1 Insulation is a critical component of energy efficiency, and spray foam can save homeowners up to 50% on their heating and cooling bills. It also creates a healthier environment by reducing sources for mold and airborne pollutants, allowing homeowners to live life comfortably without worrying about runny noses or itchy eyes.
The spray insulation process begins with the contractor determining your property’s unique climate and structure to customize an optimal spray insulation plan. Then, the crew will clear away any debris or obstructions to give them access to the areas that require insulation. They will also remove any existing insulation that needs to be replaced or is incompatible with spray foam, if necessary.
Once the preparation is complete, the crew will apply the spray foam in a precise manner. As it’s sprayed, the spray foam expands significantly (open-cell foam expands even more) to fill external wall spaces, creating an insulated and air-tight barrier within your building.
This prevents convective heat transfer from the outside during the winter and the inside in the summer. It will also prevent the transfer of moisture, and protect your building from condensation or rot.
Benefits of Spray Foam Over Traditional Insulation
During the spray insulation process, the contractors will use a blower door test to identify air leaks and other issues that affect energy efficiency. This will help them identify the correct R-value for your project, so you can maximize your energy savings.
If you’re thinking about installing spray foam in your home, it’s important to make sure the contractor is licensed and insured. This will give you peace of mind, as well as ensure that the job is done correctly.
