When constructing a house, there are many important factors to be considered such as what roofing will be placed, the structure of the house, the foundation it will be laid on, and the type of insulation needed. NorthStar Comfort Services specialize in spray Insulation foam Wichita KS, and there are many advantages of this type of insulation as opposed to other building insulations that may be offered.
Traditional building insulation is made of fiberglass, which can cause health problems to the installers and to the inhabitants of the house over time. However, spray Insulation foam Wichita KS is made by polyol and isocyanate resin coming together at the tip of the gun, which expands into foam when sprayed into wall cavities, on concrete slabs, or onto roof tiles.
There are two different types of spray foams, which are divided into the categories of open cell and closed cell foams. Open cell foam insulation uses fewer chemicals; therefore, it is less expensive. Open cell foam is composed of tiny cells that are not completely closed, so this foaming works great as an air barrier and a sound reducer, but it does function well as a water vapor barrier. Closed cell foam insulation is the denser of the two foams, and it works well as a water, sound, and air barrier. This type of foam is most commonly used in roofing projects but can be used anywhere in a housing project.
Some of the benefits of spray insulation foam Wichita KS include huge savings every month in one’s heating and cooling bills. Some people save up to sixty percent on their monthly energy bill by upgrading the insulation in their homes. Spray insulation also helps improve the quality of the air within the home by blocking the outside air, which is a vital advantage to allergy sufferers. Allergens are not the only things that travel through the air; sound minimization is another benefit of spray foam because open air is a conduit of sound travel. Lastly, spay foam helps protect one’s home from the growth of mold, which is caused by warm weather and water particles that have seeped into the home.
