FL Master Foam Techs LLC is a mixture of two liquids that, when sprayed on a surface such as walls or roofs, expands and fills in cracks and crevices to create an airtight seal. It’s a great insulator because it makes it difficult for heat energy to pass through. This reduces the amount of time your heating and cooling system has to work to create a comfortable temperature in your home.
Homeowners who choose to have spray foam insulation installed in their houses typically see a drop in their monthly utility bills. This is because the insulation works so well at keeping conditioned air trapped in a house, meaning heaters and ACs will have to work much less to maintain a stable climate in a household.
Understanding the Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation
As a bonus, the closed-cell spray foam also forms an effective barrier against pests such as ants and insects as well as rodents including rats. This is because the insulation creates an airtight seal that prevents these pests from getting inside of a wall cavity.
If you have spray foam insulation, it is wise to keep a copy of your independent test certificates as this will help you if you ever decide to sell or remortgage your property in the future. This is because the lender will want to see proof that the property has been insulated properly and is efficient in terms of energy costs.
Another benefit of this insulation is that it uses less harmful blowing agents than other types of insulation, such as fiberglass. Closed-cell spray foam insulation contains no blown gases, such as HFCs (which have a Global Warming Potential of 3,400 times that of CO2 over 100 years).
