More Energy Efficient!

The average household spends more than 40% of their energy budget on heating and cooling costs every year. Much of this budget goes to heating and cooling air that escapes through windows, doors, cracks, gaps and crevices in the walls, attic, roof and foundation. 

Likewise, unwanted cold air seeps into a home because of inadequate insulation and inferior house wraps  Poorly insulated homes can be expensive to heat, especially when there is not an adequate wind barrier.

Unlike traditional materials (such as batt or blown-in insulation), Spray Foam insulation completely seals a home during the installation process.  It expands to fill wall cavities, joist ends, awkward areas, cracks and crevices.  This stops heated air escaping and cold air finding its way in.

Spray Foam keeps the air that you've paid to heat or cool where it belongs -- in your home.  As the cost of energy continues to rise, the money you save by insulating your home with Spray Foam will increase!  By increasing your insulation and improving your air leakage rate, your home will also receive a higher score on an energy assessment.

Once the air flow is stopped, Spray Foam goes to work to provide many additional benefits to homeowners. Spray Foam has a high R-value per inch, it seals the paths that bugs, pollen and pollution use to enter your home and best of all, Spray Foam helps protect your home from mold-generating moisture infiltration.
