Spray foam insulation offers a better alternative to traditional insulation materials like fiberglass, rock wool, cellulose, and polystyrene board. Protects from heat loss, woodrot, mold, and dampness. Lasts a lifetime. This reduces the sound pollution in the environment that surrounds your home or office.
Spray foam insulation is formed when two materials, isocyanate, and a resin polyol are gently heated. The foam expands at the tip if a spray gun and is then applied to a specific area. This liquid turns quickly into thick, hard foam insulation. It protects against heat loss, wood decay, mold, and dampness and does not break down. It lasts a lifetime.
Spray foam insulation’s greatest attribute is its ability form an “air-seal”, which results in a tight envelope within a building. Air sealing can reduce heat loss from the home, which will help you save money on utility bills. It also keeps your home cooler in the summer.
Insulation in attics is almost always sprayed using open cell spray foam. This allows moisture to escape from your structure. Irish building regulations require that a 50mm gap be maintained between the roof deck, felt, and the top of insulation material.
