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:

  1. 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. 
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
