Attic insulation can be a great investment, helping to reduce energy bills and increase the value of your property. However, there are some things you should be aware of before making the decision to go with spray insulation for your home.
The chemicals used in spray foam (either open or closed cell) give off toxic gasses and can cause irritation to your eyes and throat if the application is not correctly done by a trained professional. For this reason it is important that you stay out of the property during and while the product is curing. It is also very important that you wear a face mask and respirator during the installation process to ensure that your health and safety are protected.
EcoHome Spray Foam: The Benefits of Closed-Cell Spray Foam Insulation
This product is sprayed on-site to create an air and vapor barrier in the wall, roof or underfloor of your property. This stops heat escaping in the winter and prevents cold air from entering your property in summer, which can significantly reduce your heating costs. It is also very effective in reducing underfloor draughts and can help to minimize allergies, especially for those who suffer from asthma.
Open-cell spray foam expands to fill gaps and voids and can reach hard-to-reach areas such as attic rim joists, crawl spaces and knee walls. Closed-cell spray foam is denser and expands less but still provides good insulating value as well as moisture resistance. It is important that these products are installed by a qualified technician to ensure the correct mixture of polyurethane and isocyanate to achieve optimal performance and durability.
