FAQS
What is open-cell spray foam?
Open-cell spray foam is a low-density open-cell spray applied polyurethane (SPF) insulation. It is applied as a liquid, this water-blown foam quickly expands to many times its original size completely feeling wall cavities.
What are the advantages of open-cell spray foam?
Open-cell easily follows in and around hard to reach areas such as pipes and wiring, creating a seamless seal. It also takes care of outdoor air sealing, along with better indoor air quality. It will also improve the comfort because it reduces drafts and controls temperature. It controls air leakage while also resisting mold, saving energy, controlling noise, and seals against pests and allergens. It has a 3.7- 4.1 per inch R-value. Open-cell also fully adheres; therefore, it has long life service.
What is closed-cell spray foam and its advantages?
Closed-cell spray foam is an innovative, spray foam solution that provides homeowners quality insulation. It provides multipurpose protection is a single application. It has a 6.7 per inch R-value. Closed-cell serves as a air, water and vapor barriers all in one. It is energy efficient and seals against pests and allergens. Closed-cell also has a 0-5 flame spread based on ASTM E-84* and TAS- 203 testing with over three times the minimum code requirement for a hurricane adhesive, and exceeded the capacity of the test equipment; therefore, ensuring building safety.
What is Blow-In Blanket(BIBS) Insulation?
The BIBS systems utilizes glass fibers engineered to deliver maximum performance with minimal weight. The BIBS solution also maximizes energy efficiency and saves you heating and cooling costs. BIBS also has consistent high performance (BIBS systems has advantages that lasts the life of the structure). It creates a complete thermal envelope, while also protecting against moisture absorption without rot. BIBS increases sound control and has the highest R-value attainable in fiberglass today!
What’s the difference between Blown-in-Insulation vs. Fiberglass Batts insulation?
Loose fiberglass is made from molten glass spun or blown into fibers that are then processed into the final product. Fiberglass Batts insulation is consistent of flexible fibers made into batts or rolls.
Blown-in-Insulation provides excellent thermal performance, is moisture resistant, resistant to high temperature, and fire resistant.
Both are:
- Allergy friendly
- Provide acoustic control
- Cost effective
- Energy efficient
What are benefits of silicone roofing?
Silicone roofing is waterproof; therefore, providing long term protection against:
- Weathering
- Aging
- Oxidation
- Wind-driven sand
- Rain and Snow
- UV radiation
- Temperature extremes normally found on roofs.
Silicone roofing can reduce your expenses by 50% as compared to traditional roof replacement.
Why is foundation sealing important?
Foundation sealing is a high-strength and high performance seal, that seals pores and voids so no moisture can get in creating damage to your foundation.
How long does spray foam take to cure?
After foam has been sprayed there is a 24 hour reentry period
Are there any electric wiring overheating problems?
No. If sprayed correctly and with extreme testing to make sure everything is found to be safe, there sound be no problems.
