Although spray foam insulation is in our name, and our specialty, we carefully consider your specific needs and will always provide you with the best choice in insulation products. There can be various reasons why conventional fiberglass bat insulation or radiant barrier insulation might be a more appropriate choice.
You can rest assured that On the Mark Spray Foam will always recommend the best insulation solutions for your home or business in Wesley Chapel, Florida.
Spray foam insulation is a polymer foam applied with specialized spraying equipment. With proper application, it expands to fill and seal all the air gaps such as those around doors and windows or electrical outlets and lighting, creating exceptional value and comfort for our Wesley Chapel Florida friends and neighbors.
Approximately 85% of American homes rely on fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass has an R-value of 2.2 per inch, but this decreases over its lifetime.
On the other hand, spray foam insulation can have an R-value of up to 7 per inch, depending on the product. The R-value of spray foam insulation is constant throughout its lifetime. Unlike fiberglass insulation, spray foam insulation does not shift or sag over time.
This stability means that spray foam insulation has a life expectancy of more than 80 years; fiberglass only 10 to 25 years.
Another significant difference between spray foam and conventional fiberglass is that spray foam insulation is also an air barrier.
Your Wesley Chapel Florida home or business can lose over 30% of its conditioned air through leakage. Special materials and products are needed to resolve this issue when using fiberglass insulation. Whereas, spray foam insulation naturally resolves these problems through its standard process.
Another major plus for spray foam insulation is that it also resists mold and acts as a moisture barrier. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, recognizes closed cell (more on this in a moment) spray foam insulation as a flood-resistant material.
There are two types of spray foam insulation, open cell spray foam, and closed cell spray foam. Open cell spray foam is an insulating air barrier, and closed cell foam is an air, moisture, and vapor barrier.
Depending on your application, either or both may be suitable for your project.
Just as the name implies, the cells in this insulation are open and filled with air. This feature makes open cell foam lighter and more pliable than it’s closed cell sibling. Open cell spray foam is less dense, so less material is required to fill any given space. This feature is also important when the cost is a concern; open cell spray foam is less costly both for materials and installation.
The specific characteristics of open cell spray foam make it a good option for soundproofing. Our Wesley Chapel Florida customers use open cell spray foam in areas such as:
The cells in this product maintain their integrity while expanding to create a more robust and better insulating result. Because it is denser than open cell spray foam, less material is required to deliver the same R-value, which makes it the ideal choice for tight places.
The higher density of closed cell spray foam allows for it to be molded and shaped for decorative or light structural purposes. These same properties are the reason for FEMA’s flood-resistant designation.
The initial expense of insulating your Wesley Chapel Florida home or business with spray foam insulation is significantly more than that of fiberglass. The cost of both installation and materials is higher than that of fiberglass.
However, its exceptional lifespan and lower energy bills can have a welcome impact on your monthly budget.
Depending on your specific situation, you can expect a return on your investment in as little as 5 to 7 years. You will also have an immediate return on your purchase with the comfort and security your choice of spray foam insulation delivers.
Mishandling these components can lead to a permanent condition of off-gassing, meaning the foam will not become inert and will remain toxic.
