It is more expensive than Fiberglass. However, without the shortcomings of filterglass, the benefits of our spray foams will far exceed the cost of the upgrade.
- Added into a mortgage, monthly bills will be lower due to energy savings.
We would rather look at every aspect of a project before we work up a bid.
- This allows us to give the most accurate price for each job. Every project is different, thus so is the Sq. Ft. Price.

R-Value = 7.5 |
Not always. It is the current method used for building codes use to rate insulation, but certainly is not the only thing a someone should consider when deciding on how to insulate their project.
- There are three types of heat flow:
- Conductive - the way heat moves through materials
- Convective - the way heat moves through the air
- Radiant - when heat travels in a straight line heating anything solid it it's path
Only Conductive heat flow is used in determining R-Value levels, however, studies have shown that Convective Heat accounts for 25-40% of the energy used for heating and cooling a typical home. Spray Foam stops the Convective heat from infiltrating your home, something that other insulations just can't do.
Air Sealing and Custom Fit.
- Foams are continuous air barriers and won’t allow air to move through them. A sealed envelope around your entire project will have a huge impact on energy savings.
- Fiberglass comes in Rolls and Batts, designed to fit one size, or shape of cavity which usually leads to cutting the pieces short of the floor causing voids and massive air leakage.
We feel this is where we have one of our biggest advantages. We inspect each cavity we spray as if it were in our own home. Tall ones, short ones, thin ones, or wide ones. It doesn’t matter to us. They are all installed to manufactures recommendations or thicker. Making sure nothing is missed on each and every project.
With an air-barrier, there is no condensation point.
- Moisture mismanagement is account able for 90% of new building failures in the US. Mold, Mildew and Moisture Control have to be serious considerations when starting a project. It is vital to think of your home as a series of systems that all must work together in unison for the integrity of the finished product.
