Why We Use Spray Foam Insulation

There are many ways that you can insulate your home. You could use structural insulated panels, fiberglass insulation systems, reflective systems, and even loose-fill and blown-in insulation. At Hickory Circle we use styrofoam and spray foam insulation systems to keep your home protected and as cool or as hot as you like it, all year round.

Spray foam is a superior solution to a lot of old systems used when insulating a home and these are some of the reasons why:

It deters moisture. Water can easily get into the openings around your pipes and vents putting your home at risk for growth of mold and mildew. Most insulation used needs to be replaced when it gets wet, but not spray foam. It keeps its properties and can push itself into even the smallest cracks, leaving no room for water damage to your home.
It improves comfort. Because spray foam can get into the smallest nooks and crannies, it helps to prevent temperature fluctuation as it creates an air-tight seal. This keeps your home at a consistent climate all year round.
It improves indoor air quality. A major benefit of using spray foam is that it minimizes indoor allergens. This is because major allergens usually seep in through the walls of your homes. The main cause is pest waste; however, pests are not attracted to spray foam because it is not a good food source, and it doesn't make a good nest. Spray foam is also non-toxic so there is no need to worry about harmful contaminants being released into your home.
It is easy to install. All it takes is an experienced team to apply the foam. They use a spray foam gun that precisely sprays the insulation where you need it. It dries quickly as well, and is ready in a days time.

These are just a few reasons why we use spray foam insulation. There are many other benefits including how energy efficient it makes your living space.

Debunking Myths and Presenting Facts: Timber Truss Construction Details

Welcome to the world of Hickory Circle Construction , where we are masters in transforming quality timber into architectural marvels featuring sturdy and stylish trusses. Today, we delve deeper into the timber truss construction details, debunking common myths and reinforcing the facts about this incredible structural element. Myth 1: Timber Trusses are Prone to Fire Fact: While it's no secret that wood can burn, the notion that timber trusses are essentially a fire hazard is misleading. Large timber trusses char at a predictable rate while maintaining their structural integrity for a longer time compared to steel under high heat. Fire-retardant treatments can also further increase a timber truss's fire resistance. Myth 2: Timber Trusses Aren't Durable Fact: The durability of a timber truss surpasses that of many other materials. When crafted with precision—like we at Hickory Circle Construction ensure—they can withstand the test of time, weather, and load. Regular mainte

Trusses vs. Rafters: The Timber Difference

Timber trusses are durable structures used for residential and commercial businesses alike. Both trusses and rafters are structural elements used for the foundation of the home, and they both offer protection and durability. However, structurally and materially, they are a bit different. Here's how: Rafters are usually wider Because trusses are manufactured off-site, they are made of a different material and are smaller, so typically there will be more trusses in comparison to rafters. Rafters are made on-site, so they are able to be made larger to fit whatever structure is needed. Rafters are used for larger projects to provide more open space.

Also, because they are not constructed on-site, and instead at the manufacture site with all of the required machinery and material available, t
