The choice of insulation for your home is a key decision. It should be based on several factors, including thermal performance, moisture control and installation costs. There are many choices in the market, from traditional blankets to cellulose, fiberglass and mineral wool, to spray foam. Meritage Homes uses open-cell spray foam that bonds to the frame of the house and remains somewhat flexible after it’s applied, so it will insulate even if your home shifts over time. It also helps to prevent air and moisture movement, which can damage your foundation and lead to mold problems.Read more:https://qualityinsulationva.com/
Achieve Superior Quality Insulation with Spray Foam
It’s a long-lasting, high-performance insulation material that conforms to your home’s unique design by fitting into nooks and crannies. It also offers a higher R-value than fiberglass batts. The higher the R-value, the more effective the insulation.
This spray-on insulation contains little pockets that create barriers, making it difficult for heat energy to pass through them. These pockets also make it easy for the spray to fill small nooks and crannies, which is why spray foam is usually more effective than other types of insulation.
During the application process, spray foam emits chemicals called isocyanates, which can cause eye irritation and breathing issues. However, newer spray foams are formulated without the use of isocyanates. These use water or carbon dioxide as a blowing agent, making them non-toxic once they’re cured. In addition, some spray foam manufacturers are using a new type of eco-friendly blowing agent based on methyl methanoate, which is free of HCFCs and HFCs.
