Lx5 Insulators of Tulsa Explains Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam creates a custom air seal, stopping the nooks and crannies that let energy escape and drive up monthly utility bills. It also stops moisture and vapor from penetrating walls and creating condensation. The result is a healthier home that’s less likely to suffer from mold, mildew, rot or structural damage.

The insulation provides a very high R-value that can save homeowners up to 50% on their heating and cooling costs right away. The product also reduces outside noise and inside echoes, helping families stay focused on work and play. It can even help curb allergies and sinus irritation by limiting the spread of microscopic allergens, like pollen, dust, and pet dander.

Adding spray foam insulation to an existing building can be done with relative ease, especially when compared to other methods that require the removal of drywall and old insulation. It is sprayed onto the surface with a special application gun that’s often equipped with a camera for precision and quality control.

A spray foam insulation kit includes all the necessary supplies to seal a room or entire house. Kits are available in open and closed cell foam, depending on the homeowner’s climate and goals. Closed-cell spray foam is more expensive but it’s physically stronger and creates a vapor barrier, eliminating the need for a separate vapor barrier after the insulation dries.

Both types of spray foam insulation are blown into place using a mixture of two primary components that are stored separately in tanks and then pumped through heated hoses to the application gun. As the mixture reaches the tip of the gun it is rapidly expanded, filling in the spaces and corners that traditional insulation can’t reach. The process is quick, clean, and safe.
