Homeowners deciding to install spray foam insulation in Ottawa are investing in the best product on the market today. Amongst the many benefits, heating and cooling bills will be lowered by up to 30% over the year. That’s because spray foam is the most effective way of sealing seal air leakage and ensuring thermal insulation. For energy efficiency, air sealing, and moisture control, nothing compares.
When professionally installed, spray foam (referred to as polyurethane foam) is sprayed into a given area like the attic, wall, or floor. It hardens and remains as a dense mass that seals even the smallest of holes and cracks. A high quality spray foam product provides an air barrier, a vapour barrier, and thermal barrier in one installation. When compared, no other product offers equivalent airtightness.
If you’re considering a spray foam installation in any part of the home, you’ve chosen an application that will effectively seal air leaks while providing a highly insulated space. Throughout the industry, experts agree that spray foam offers the highest R-Value when compared to the other products. When professionally installed, there are virtually no areas where any heated or cooled air can escape outside.
Spray foam insulation does it all in one application. It provides very high R-Value. It’s offers excellent air and moisture resistance. It’s effective in sound dampening and it provides exceptional energy efficiency. Homeowners find that heating and air conditioning is more efficient, and seasonal utility costs are substantially reduced. For many, the cumulative savings could offset the initial project costs.
If you’ve decided to install spray foam insulation in Ottawa (or around the National Capital Region), a professional installation is highly recommended. This will ensure that the installation space is properly sealed, insulated, and ventilated all at one time. Anything short is doing only half the job. An expert will insist on eliminating air leakage; insulating comprehensively; and ensuring the optimum in ventilation.
Today, many contractors are recommending spray foam as an ideal application for the attic and roof. As a unique component of the house, the attic and roof area can benefit greatly from spray foam. With a thorough application, the space is sealed airtight. As well, the foam provides structural strength. And finally, the insulation R-Value provides the maximum in energy efficiency throughout the entire home.
A properly insulated basement does more than just provide comfort. First, overall energy efficiency is enhanced. Second, energy consumption is reduced. Third, seasonal utility bills are decreased. Like the attic space, a basement must be air sealed and insulated in tandem. Installing spray foam achieves a number of objectives – reducing airflow, enhancing insulation performance, and blocking moisture.
As spray foam insulation increases in popularity, contractors are getting great results when replacing old insulation with spray foam. The product has proven itself adaptable in renovations and retrofits. However, the work has to be done right – this is not the right time for a DIY project. Spray foam requires an expert who has product and installation experience, and understands the nuances of such a project.
If you are committed to installing spray foam insulation in Ottawa, its work that must be professionally managed. Spray foam needs special handling and the application requires in-depth experience. Going with a DIY approach could pose problems and even potential dangers. This is work that has to be done right the first time. Anything short will compromise the integrity and performance of the insulation.
For homeowners who want an eco-friendly approach to insulation, Walltite ECO™ now provides that option. This is a product that can be used inside walls, under concrete floors, and even in foundation walls. It’s an application that seals and insulates at one time.
