Benefits of Spray Foam

There are several reasons to use spray foam. Quick installation, energy savings, environmental friendliness, health, and durability are primary benefits.

 Closed cell spray foam acts as an air and vapour barrier, and is applied by trained and certified applicators. Air infiltration/exfiltration can account for 40% of energy loss in a building. Closed cell spray foam acts as an air barrier to stop this air leakage which can cause high energy bills.

Closed cell spray foam products enhance the durability of your building also working to control moisture in your building as it is a vapor barrier, and stops moisture accumulation from convection. This adds to the life of building as moisture is a primary source of building failure. Spray foam also adds to the strength of a building. Independent testing shows that wall assemblies using closed cell spray foam have racking strength 2-3 times higher than traditional wall assemblies.

By reducing moisture, Closed cell spray foam can also make your building healthier. Mold needs water, appropriate temperatures, and food to survive. Water is the easiest of these factors to control, so you can help control mold in a building by using spray foam.
