A-1 Insulation – The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is applied as a liquid that expands into a foam to fill gaps and crevices. It creates a tight seal, which cuts energy loss and keeps homes comfortable. It can be applied to attics, crawl spaces and rim joists in existing homes as well as new construction, pole barns, and other buildings.
Prevents Moisture
In addition to insulating, spray foam can also stop moisture. This is particularly important in areas like attics and crawl spaces where a lack of insulation can cause moisture problems. Spray foam stops moisture from leaking into the home, which prevents wood damage and other expensive issues.
Improves Indoor Air Quality
Spray foam can help allergy sufferers by reducing allergens like dust, mold and pollen from entering the home. It forms part of a health-promoting barrier that reduces sources of pollutants in the home and makes it easier for HVAC air filters to remain clean and free of allergens.
Reduces Energy Costs
In the winter, spray foam stops warm indoor air from escaping, which lowers heating costs. In the summer, it blocks out hot outdoor air, lowering cooling costs as well.
With a high-quality spray foam installation, Meritage Homes can see significant savings on their heating and cooling bills. For the ultimate energy efficiency, an energy audit is recommended before applying spray foam. It pinpoints areas of energy loss and helps homeowners find the best solution. For example, blower door and duct blast testing can identify problem spots that require attention.
