What is Spray Foam Insulation?

Spray foam insulation is a highly effective method of insulating homes and buildings in Abilene, Texas. It is a type of insulation that is applied as a liquid and expands into a foam, filling gaps and creating a seamless barrier against heat transfer. This innovative insulation solution comes in two main types: open cell spray foam and closed cell spray foam. There are two main types of spray foam insulation: open cell and closed cell. Open cell spray foam is a lightweight and flexible option that is suitable for interior applications. It has a lower density and is more breathable, allowing moisture to pass through. Closed cell spray foam, on the other hand, is denser and more rigid. It provides a higher level of insulation and acts as a moisture barrier.

Superior Performance and Efficiency For More Savings

Spray foam insulation offers several benefits, including increased energy efficiency and savings. By creating an airtight seal, it prevents air leakage and reduces heat transfer, resulting in lower heating and cooling costs. This type of insulation also helps to regulate indoor temperature, keeping homes comfortable year-round. In addition to energy savings, spray foam insulation provides other advantages. It acts as a sound barrier, reducing noise transmission from outside and between rooms. It also helps to prevent the entry of dust, pollen, and other allergens, improving indoor air quality. Another advantage of spray foam insulation is its durability. Unlike traditional insulation materials like fiberglass, spray foam does not sag or deteriorate over time. It can last for several decades, providing long-term insulation benefits.

Our Insulation Process

1. We perform a thorough evaluation of the residential or commercial space to determine whether it is best to use open-cell or closed-cell spray foam. We also identify and take into account recessed lights, electrical installations, wall studs, and HVAC ducts that we'll need to work around.
2. After our initial evaluation, we'll come up with a plan for insulating the space and share it with you.
3. Prior to installation, the two components that make up spray foam, polyol resin and isocyanate, are transported to the site in separate A-side and B-side containers. These components are mixed and pressurized on site just before application.
4. We'll use professional spray foam equipment to apply the foam insulation to targeted surfaces, working around recessed lights, electrical installations, and other important components. We use our expertise to skillfully apply insulation near electrical fixtures to avoid fire hazards.
5. For in wall foam insulation, an injection method is used to inject the foam into the existing wall (closed cavity). This method is called injection foam insulation, and is particularly useful where the targeted area is not openly accessible.
6. Following application of the spray foam insulation, it will typically take less 5 minutes for the foam to expand and less than an hour for the foam to dry and become tack-free (non-sticky).
7. Spray foam insulation jobs typically take 1-2 days to complete, depending on the surface area and access difficulty.
