Why Spray Foam is the Best
Spray foam insulation is a chemical compound that is sprayed onto the walls or roof of your home. It’s brought on site as a liquid that is then carefully mixed during application and which hardens over a few hours. Once spray foam insulation is set, it becomes a fantastic insulator with, sound, air and moisture sealing features, giving it significant advantages over other materials on the market. There’s no need to fuss with difficult to reach spaces or corners either - because of the method of application and the way the foam grows and spreads, the investmnet in spray foam insulation costs in Scarborough means that you get an cohesive seal around your home.
Cost Effectiveness with Spray Foam Insulation
These features mean that installing spray foam can give you a great deal of long and short term value when it comes to your energy bill. Making sure our homes are sealed tight against leaks and moisture is more than just about preventing mold or keeping our home’s structure sound - old or poorly installed insulation can also mean that your furnace or HVAC system needs to work much harder to keep your home at at a comfortable temperature. Harder work often means more frequent maintenance visits, and, ultimately, a newer unit sooner than planned. Choosing to install spray foam insulation in Scarborough means that you can gain all these benefits - a quieter, less drafty and more comfortable home, and also a lower utility bill and less long-term repair costs.
Hard Work Ethic at EcoStar Insulation
When choosing to install spray foam insulation in Scarborough, there are two different formulations that EcoStar Insulation offers. We install 2 pound closed cell spray foam insulation, and 1/2 pound open cell. Choosing which spray foam is right for you is something that our technicians are trained to do, because both kinds of spray foam have different advantages and disadvantages depending on your home.
With any type of spray foam, you’ll be getting excellent sound absorption, as well as a fantastic air and moisture barrier in your home. Two pound closed cell spray foam is the more dense and rigid of the two types - because of this, it offers a slightly higher insulating value, but its rigidity makes it applicable to certain types of structures and places in the home. 1/2 pound open cell, on the other hand, is much softer, so it can flex and move with your home as it settles over time. At EcoStar, we have in-depth understanding and experience installing spray foam insulation in Scarborough and work with our clients to make sure the right kinds are used where they will perform the best. If spray foam isn’t the right choice for your home, we also install blown-in and fibreglass insulation types to make sure we have a range of options that suits you.
