Closed
Cell Foam Insulation -
Rising
energy costs are fueling a demand
among educated homebuyers for
energy-efficient, sustainable,
comfortable homes. Every homeowner
should know about and ask for
closed-cell spray foam insulation
for its exceptional performance
and energy efficiency. Closed-cell
foam insulation:
- Offers a High Insulation
R-value
- Reduces the Requirements
for Mold Growth
- Provides a Seamless
Air Barrier
- Restricts Moisture
Transmission
- Adds Structural Strength
- Minimizes Sound Transmission
- Does Not Shrink or
Settle
Closed-cell
foam insulation forms an air
seal that prevents leaks, utilizing
the same technology that is used
in your refrigerator. The U.S.
Department of Energy reports
that up to 40% of the energy
cost of heating and cooling
a building is wasted by uncontrolled
air leakage. In cold weather,
heated, moist air inside the
home escapes through cracks,
gaps, and holes in the building
shell to join the colder, dryer
outside air, causing your furnace
to work harder to maintain
indoor comfort. In warm weather,
hot humid air enters the home
through those same pathways,
increasing the burden on the
air conditioning system. Because
drafts are virtually eliminated
with closed-cell foam insulation,
it is easier to maintain a consistently
comfortable temperature without
hot and cold spots. Additionally,
closed-cell foam insulation also
helps prevent uncontrolled outdoor
air infiltration and the penetration
of dust, pollen, and other allergens.
With energy savings,
consistent indoor ambient temperatures,
structural stability, and improved
indoor air quality, closed-cell
foam insulation is a must for
every new home.
We also use fiberglass insulation exclusively
from Johns Manville, which is
the only complete line of pure
white, formaldehyde-free fiber
glass insulation. So you can
reduce concerns over indoor air-quality
while still maintaining a comfortable
home. The removal of formaldehyde
means that there are no binder-related
emissions of formaldehyde during
the insulation manufacturing
process, either to the outdoor
environment or to the indoor
working areas. |
