Spray foam insulation in Tampa, FL is an excellent choice for homeowners, builders and architects who want to increase the R-value of their homes. It can be used to seal gaps and tight areas, and is very effective against air infiltration that can account for up to 40% of a home’s energy costs.
Unlike many other insulation products, spray foam can be applied to any part of the structure without damaging it. It is also very flexible, and can fit into spaces that are hard to reach. This flexibility also makes it ideal for difficult-to-insulate places like domed ceilings.
Long-Term Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
It’s important to understand how spray foam is applied before making a decision about whether it is the right option for your home. It’s possible for DIY homeowners to apply their own spray foam, but the mixture and application process is messy and time-consuming. If you are not comfortable handling this work yourself, it’s usually best to hire a professional to do it for you.
There are two types of spray foam insulation available: open-cell and closed-cell. Closed-cell spray foam is more expensive but offers greater physical strength and creates an effective vapor barrier for your home. Open-cell spray foam, on the other hand, is much cheaper but doesn’t offer as much physical strength or a vapor barrier. Both open and closed-cell spray foam are blown with environmentally safe blowing agents that are free of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). The elimination of HFCs in Canada by the Kigali Amendment to the 1987 Montreal Protocol prompted manufacturers to switch to climate safe blowing agents.
