Allstate Spray Foam Insulation offers a great value in terms of home energy savings. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system uses half of the energy in a home, and by adding more insulation, homeowners can decrease this usage and save on energy costs.

In addition to its thermal properties, spray foam provides a strong barrier that reduces the flow of moisture and air. This will help to prevent mold, mildew and other harmful contaminants that can infest a home. In addition, spray foam will deter pests like rats from nesting in the home because of its impermeable nature.

Unlike traditional fiberglass insulation, which is comprised of a loose fill and blown by hand or machine, spray foam insulation can be applied to any open cavity like attics, crawl spaces and rim joists. In addition, the insulation can be sprayed in recessed light boxes and around windows and doors. The insulation will also fill the cracks and crevices of a home or pole barn.

The two main types of spray foam insulation are closed cell and open-cell. Closed-cell is more dense, has a higher R-value (6 per inch) and offers greater resistance against heat transfer than open-cell. However, closed-cell does allow some vapor to pass through it (5-10 perms), so it may need to be paired with a vapor barrier in certain applications.

While spray foam can be installed by the homeowner, a professional insulation contractor is usually the best choice. This is because the product expands quickly, and it must be applied in even layers to avoid sagging or swelling. Furthermore, the spray contains chemicals that create fumes during curing. Therefore, homeowners should wear full face and respiratory protection when applying the insulation.

TCS Insulation & Coatings is a mixture of two liquids that are sprayed onto a surface and then expanded, filling every hole and crack. The result is a powerful air seal that keeps outside temperatures and moisture out, while keeping conditioned air in. This means that your heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard, which translates to lower energy bills for you and reduced environmental impact.

This insulation can be sprayed on attics, crawl spaces, rim joist in new construction, pole barns, and more. However, it’s best to install this insulation during the rough-in stage of construction, before drywall goes up. It can also be sprayed into walls covered by drywall to improve existing home insulation. This is called closed-cell insulation, and it’s more rigid than open cell because the cells are completely encapsulated.

Understanding the Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation: TCS Insulation & Coatings Explained

While this insulation does off-gas some volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while it’s being sprayed and curing, these have been reduced greatly in recent years due to advances in blowing agents that are more environmentally friendly. It’s still a good idea to keep your family and pets out of the house while this is being done, as it will off-gas for 1-3 days.

Another great benefit of this insulation is that it prevents moisture from settling in attics and crawl spaces. This can save money that would be spent on water damage repair and mold remediation. It can also help prevent the air conditioning from having to do as much dehumidification during the summer, further cutting down on your energy bills.

When choosing spray foam insulation Glen Rose you need a company with the right experience and equipment. Many homeowners attempt to do the installation themselves using kits that are available in DYI stores, but it takes practice and precision to get even coverage of the foam. Also, you must follow the proper chemical mixture to ensure safety and avoid off-gassing of high VOCs (volatile organic compounds). It is best left to a professional.

Closed-cell spray foam insulation improves air quality. Its closed cells prevent harmful micro pollutants such as dust, mold and mildew from escaping into the home. This is especially helpful in allergy-prone homes.

The spray foam is also moisture-resistant. When other types of insulation such as fiberglass and cellulose get wet they can promote the growth of mold or mildew, but open-cell spray foam does not. Spray foam also buffers sound and is a great choice for attics, basements and crawl spaces.

Another benefit of spray foam is that it prevents ice dams. The heat from your home naturally circulates heading up to the attic space. By insulating the attic with spray foam, you stop the warm air from escaping the roof preventing the formation of ice dams.

The open and closed-cell spray foams will fill every nook and cranny avoiding air leakage. Some homes leak enough air each day to fill two blimps, which is a big waste of energy and leads to drafts and cold floors. Spray foam is very energy efficient and can reduce your utility bills.
