When people hear insulation, they usually think of that pink, cotton candy looking material that is shoved inside walls. Although that style is a home insulator, many other different types do a better job of keeping comfortable air in the home and unwanted air out. Reach out to us for the best spray foam insulation Brooklyn has.
Spray foam (spray polyurethane foam) is a mixture of liquid chemicals that are designed to produce a foam-like substance. During the application of this foam, the material quickly expands to fill all the cracks and gaps between interior and exterior walls. After growing, the material will harden to create a secure and airtight barrier. In many cases, spray foam insulation expands around 30% from its original size. Many older homes in Brooklyn benefit from this insulator. For more information from an insulation contractor in Brooklyn, you should give our team a call.
There are different types of foam insulation: open and closed cell. The open cell variant has a low R-value that represents the insulation’s thermal resistance. Higher R-values have a high thermal resistance. The closed-cell spray is commonly used when improving a home’s energy efficiency is the primary goal. For the best possible home energy efficiency, homeowners should also consider solar panel installation on Staten Island. We are insulation contractors in Brooklyn that provide spray foam insulation and solar panels.
Spray foam is not only practical; it is also safe. During installation, residents will want to leave the house, but after a short period, the residence is habitable again. There are no currently known health concerns associated with this type of insulation.
