16 SPRAY FOAM INSULATION FAQ Q: What is Spray Foam Insulation? A: Spray Foam Insulation is a sprayed application of a liquid, two-component, non-fibrous product that includes an A-Side and a B-Side. During application, there is a chain reaction between the two components that creates a bond to the substrate as it foams up. It dries, cures, and hardens very quickly. This system creates a seamless, insulating air barrier to improve the energy efficiency, comfort and durability of homes and buildings. designed for residential, commercial and industrial building applications. Q: Why choose Spray Foam Insulation? A: Spray Foam Insulation systems are environmentally sound, and technologically advanced, Spray Foam Insulation creates an air tight insulation barrier. superior insulation systems conserve energy, block moisture, reduce noise, and limit the influx of outdoor pollutants and allergens. And is energy smart insulation making your indoor living environment healthier, more comfortable, more energy efficient and more affordable. Q: What is R-value? A: R-value is the measurement of thermal resistance or the resistance to heat flow. Higher R-value means more insulation efficiency, but air tightness is just as important when choosing an insulation product. Q: At what point in the construction should Spray Foam Insulation be applied? A: Normally Spray Foam Insulation is installed at the same point in the construction cycle as other types of insulation. That is, it should be installed after the rough plumbing, electrical wiring, and heating and air conditioning ducts have been installed. Q: How does spray polyurethane insulation seal my building? A: Spray Foam Insulation is sprayed on as a liquid which reacts and expands in place. This expansion action also seals all of the cracks and crevasses in your wall's exterior sheathing. The result is that air can no longer slip in: your building will be less drafty and more comfortable. Q: How does Foam Spray Insulation control moisture movement and condensation? A: A significant cause of moisture issues in structures is the result of warm, moist air being exchanged with cold, dry air inside a wall cavity. This moisture can condense within the cavity and result in mold, mildew and rot. Because Spray Foam Insulation seal, this moisture movement and subsequent condensation potential is greatly minimized. Q: How long does Foam Spray Insulation last? A: Indefinitely. Spray Foam Insulation will maintain its properties throughout the life of the building. Q: Does Foam Spray Insulation adhere to metal or wood studs? A: Foam Spray Insulation adheres well to almost any material, especially wood and steel studs, which are commonly found in residential and commercial construction. FOAM Corp.

18 FOAM SPRAY INSULATION Vs FIBERGLASS Fiberglass Cellulose and Insulation Spray foams are plastics like polyurethane and includes agricultural products, like Polyols refined from castor beans, Water, Corn & Sugar. Foam Spray Insulation insulating power comes primarily from the material. Insulating power of open cell spray foam comes primarily from thousands of tiny trapped air pockets. Spray foam insulation does not shrink or change shape once it has expanded and set. Spray foam insulation expands when applied, filling and sealing even the tiniest cracks and openings. This virtually eliminates air movement through exterior walls. Performance typically exceeds published R-Values because laboratory tests of insulating power do not consider heat transfer due to air movement, which spray foam blocks. Solid barrier means no pathways through insulation for dirt or moisture to accumulate. No conditions for mold, mildew and bacteria to grow. Spray foam insulation expands to fill any space, regardless of dimensions, shape or surface irregularity. Attic air space is insulated because insulation can bond to the underside of the roof sheathing. Attic air space stays as much as 40 percent cooler during the summer. Spray Foam Insulation Cellulose insulation is recycled paper, mostly from newsprint. Fiberglass is tiny strands of glass. Insulating power comes primarily from air spaces between the fibers of the material. Insulating power is reduced when the insulation s air spaces are compressed. Insulating power declines over time as the material settles under its own weight. Wind and air pressure force outside air through wall and ceiling cracks and openings, allowing heat, sound, moisture, dirt and allergens to be transported by outside air, through the insulation s porous air spaces and into interior living areas. Performance is typically less than published R-Values because laboratory tests of insulating power do not consider heat transfer due to air movement, settling and imperfect installation fit. Dirt and moisture carried into insulation s air pockets with outside air create breeding conditions for mold, mildew and bacteria. Outdoor and indoor air pressure differences can eventually force harmful organisms into interior living spaces. Fiberglass batts do not fit perfectly into spaces between wall studs and ceiling joists. A two percent gap can reduce effective R-Value by as much as 23 percent. Attic air space is not insulated because the insulation can only be placed between ceiling joists on the floor of the attic. Attic air temperatures can reach 150 degrees or more during the summer.
