Premier Spray Foam is a premium home improvement that is used to improve a home’s energy efficiency. It is sprayed into wall cavities and attics in new homes or renovation projects, under basement slabs, on roof tiles and into gaps around doors and windows in existing houses. Foam is also useful in rooms over garages, pole barns and other buildings that are often uninsulated.
The benefits of spray foam are numerous, but it is important to choose the right product for your job. Generally, it is best to go with low GWP spray foam insulation such as BASF Walltite CM01 or Genyk Boreal Nature. Both of these products use HFOs as the primary blowing agents and emit far less GWPs than traditional fiberglass or rigid foam.
Exploring the Versatility of Spray Foam Insulation by Premier Spray Foam
Professional spray foam insulation is sprayed using large mobile rigs that have the technology built in to ensure the foam is properly mixed and sprayed for optimal results. DIY spray foam kits like the Vega Bond Closed-Cell Spray Foam kit are available for homeowners who would prefer to do the work themselves.
Homeowners should always wear protective gear when spraying insulation. Foam is caustic before it dries and can burn skin. It is also a good idea to wear coveralls as spray foam can stick to clothes and won’t wash off easily.
Using spray foam for insulation can significantly reduce energy costs by creating an air seal between the building envelope and the studs of the house. This prevents heat from being transferred from the house to outside and vice versa, lowering your heating and cooling costs year-round. However, if spray foam is not installed correctly it can damage timbers and underlay and may be difficult to remove without structural damage.
