Home improvement projects come in all shapes and sizes. Selecting the right insulation for your roof and attic, can be especially challenging. Choosing spray foam insulation over standard insulation products could save you time and money in the long run. Here are 5 reasons you need spray foam insulation:
- Indoor Air Quality Improvement
Spray foam insulation, if installed properly, will fill in gaps and voids around your roof and attic. These voids, if left unsealed, allow dirt, dust and insects into your home. All of those can cause a decline in indoor air quality. Spray foam is an air barrier material, that can significantly improve the quality of the air inside your home, by keeping air pollutants out. - Improved Energy Costs
It is important to know that spray foam insulation is not only an air barrier material, but a thermal insulator as well. Using the proper applicator, spray foam will fill voids and cracks, without sagging or shrinking. Sealing in the roof and attic is easily done, rather than trying to insulate through the ceiling. You can save up to 50% on energy costs, by adding spray foam insulation to not only your roof, but attic too. - No Loose Fibers
Surely you have seen the rolls of fiberglass insulation, and possibly felt the fibers against your skin. It is even worse to inhale or breathe in. Spray foam insulation does not contain any loose fibers. This product is great for family members who suffer from allergic reactions. - Perfect For Hard To Reach Areas
Traditional insulation must be cut to fit. This can lead to gaps and loose material, both of which are unacceptable. Spray foam, when installed properly, fits right into those hard to reach places. Using the proper equipment, like the MAX-X Foam Gun, can prevent gaps and messy over sprays. - Lower Maintenance
Because spray foam maintains it’s shape, maintenance is low. Unlike traditional insulation, that can slip or fall over time, spray foam does not shrink or settle. This unique product is constructed onsite and should be installed by a spray foam expert.
With cooler temperature approaching, a roof and attic insulation inspection is right on time. Contact a professional today to learn more about spray foam insulation for your roof and attic.
