In addition to reducing energy bills and increasing comfort, iFOAM’s spray foam insulation can help reduce structural damage by stopping air infiltration and moisture penetration. The spray foam is sprayed on site and expands to fill all cracks, gaps and holes in the structure’s envelope, creating an airtight seal. It is ideal for insulating crawl spaces, attics, knee walls, basements and bonus rooms. It can also be used for new construction or re-insulating existing homes.

The spray foam is available in open and closed-cell varieties. Open-cell spray foam has a lower cost and offers better energy savings than closed-cell insulation. It is also more resistant to moisture, which is a major problem in Florida’s humid climate. It also resists mold growth, reducing the risk of musty odors and other health issues. It also acts as a sound barrier, making it more quiet inside the home or business.

Block foam injection, which is sometimes referred to as foam-in-place, is a form of spray insulation that is applied in the concrete block walls of older homes and new construction buildings. It is an affordable way to insulate new and existing buildings, as it is applied in the open cavities of the masonry blocks. It can also be injected into the concrete foundation of new construction or remodel projects.

Comparing Spray Foam Insulation to Traditional Insulation

Spray Foam Insulation is a very versatile material that can be installed in a variety of situations. It is typically applied to a space during the rough-in stage of construction to fill voids such as around plumbing and electrical wiring. It can also be used in existing homes to provide a more energy efficient home. It is sprayed on as a liquid and then expands to fill in the spaces it covers.

It is non-toxic once it dries and is Class 1 fire rated. However, while it is curing, it emits a gas that can cause blurred vision and difficulty breathing, so wearing a mask and full face protection is recommended. It is made from a blend of polyols, catalysts, blowing agent and other chemicals, which vary by manufacturer.

The main benefit of spray foam insulation is that it creates an air seal to prevent heated and cooled air from escaping through gaps in the walls, ceiling, and floor. This means that your heating and cooling systems won’t have to work as hard to keep your building comfortable, which can help reduce your energy usage and lower your utility costs.

Whether you’re a homeowner or builder, spray foam insulation is an excellent choice to reduce energy costs and increase the comfort of your home. It slows the flow of heat, electricity and sound between heated and unheated spaces.

At Meritage, we don’t just apply spray foam in certain areas, but instead apply it throughout the entire house as a thermal envelope. When properly installed, it seals air leakage, improves indoor temperature consistency, and makes the HVAC system work less hard.

Our trained crews use state-of-the-art rigs to mix and spray the spray foam. These rigs are highly automated, which means they’re safer and faster than traditional methods. They also help to ensure that your spray foam is mixed and sprayed at the perfect temperature.

The rigs have a large tank that holds a mix of isocyanate and polyol resin. When these chemicals are combined, they react and expand to create a foam that can fill all external space. This provides a much more effective and comprehensive solution than other forms of home insulation.

While spray foam insulation is non-toxic once it cures, it does contain a gas that can cause blurred vision and breathing problems. For this reason, it’s important to wear a mask and full face covering while applying the spray foam.

Traditionally, homeowners have used fiberglass batts to insulate their homes. The problem with this is that it leaves a gap between the attic floor and the roof deck, which allows hot air to escape from the home during the summer and cold air to enter during the winter. When the attic is insulated with spray foam, an air barrier is created, which prevents cold air from entering the home and warm air from exiting.
