Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation offers exceptional performance for homes and buildings in Southern Illinois. It provides superior energy efficiency, long-lasting durability, improved air quality, and versatile application options.

Energy Efficiency for Southern Illinois Climate

Spray foam insulation excels at regulating indoor temperatures in our region’s variable climate. It creates an airtight seal that prevents heat transfer, keeping homes cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This results in significant energy savings on heating and cooling costs.

We’ve seen customers reduce their energy bills by up to 30% after installing spray foam insulation. Its high R-value per inch means it outperforms traditional insulation materials like fiberglass. Spray foam also eliminates air leaks and thermal bridging common with other insulation types.

For maximum efficiency, we recommend insulating attics, walls, and crawl spaces. This comprehensive approach maintains consistent temperatures throughout the home.

Durability and Longevity

Spray foam insulation offers unmatched durability compared to other options. It does not sag, settle, or degrade over time. This means it maintains its insulating properties for decades without needing replacement.

The rigid structure of cured spray foam adds strength to walls and roofs. It resists moisture damage and inhibits the growth of mold and mildew. These qualities make it ideal for our humid Southern Illinois climate.

We’ve seen spray foam insulation last 20+ years with no loss of performance. This longevity offsets the higher upfront cost compared to traditional insulation materials. Homeowners enjoy energy savings and comfort benefits for many years after installation.

Air Quality and Moisture Control

Spray foam’s airtight seal improves indoor air quality by blocking pollutants, allergens, and moisture. It prevents outdoor air from entering the home, reducing drafts and cold spots. This creates a more comfortable living environment year-round.

The moisture barrier properties of closed-cell spray foam are particularly beneficial in our humid climate. It stops water vapor transmission through walls and ceilings, preventing condensation issues. This protects against mold growth and structural damage from excess moisture.

For homes with allergies or respiratory issues, spray foam can significantly reduce airborne irritants. It also minimizes dust and pollen infiltration, creating a cleaner indoor environment.

Versatility and Application Areas

We apply spray foam insulation in a wide range of residential and commercial settings. Common areas include:

• Attics and roof decks
• Exterior and interior walls
• Crawl spaces and basements
• Rim joists and headers
• Around ductwork and plumbing

Its ability to expand and fill gaps makes it ideal for irregularly shaped spaces. We can insulate hard-to-reach areas that traditional materials struggle with. Spray foam adheres to most surfaces, including wood, metal, and concrete.

For new construction, we often use spray foam as part of an overall high-performance building envelope. In existing homes, it’s excellent for sealing air leaks and upgrading insulation levels. The versatility of spray foam allows us to tailor solutions for each unique project.
