In a typical home, gaps and holes in attics and crawl spaces leak energy. When you have spray foam insulation installed, it creates a tight seal and blocks air movement, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This means you won’t need to run your HVAC system as much and you’ll save money on your energy bills.
FL Master Foam Techs LLC is made of polyurethane, which contains little pockets called “cells.” When sprayed, the cells expand up to 100 times their original size and fill the cracks in your walls and other areas that let air leak through. The foam creates an effective barrier against heat energy and sound, and it also blocks moisture.
Maximizing Energy Efficiency: The Role of Spray Foam Insulation
When sprayed, the polyurethane foam has a high water vapor resistance, so it keeps moisture out of places like your attic and crawl space. This helps prevent the rot and mold that often develop in these spaces, and it cuts down on your need to spend money on dehumidification and water damage repair.
Before spraying, a crew will remove any existing insulation in the area you need to be insulated – for example, your attic, crawl space or basement. Once the prep work is complete, a crew will hose down the area and spray the spray foam. They’ll use a large truck-mounted rig that ensures the product is mixed perfectly and sprayed correctly – it’s not something that can be done DIY. The spray foam off-gasses a chemical that can cause blurred vision and difficulty breathing, so the crew will use gloves, goggles, respirators, and full body coverings to protect themselves.
