Residential Application
Austin Metro, and the surrounding central Texas area is making huge strides towards developing greener, more energy efficient homes. As is it generally known that an environmentally friendly home provides a substantial benefit to the builders, occupants, and the environment. Through proper sealing/weatherization of a home the amount of oil required to produce electricity and the overall carbon footprint left by the builders/occupants is greatly reduced. In addition to adding durability to the overall structure, spray foam contributes to increased levels of energy efficiency due to the high R-value per inch and the performance characteristics of the polyurethane foam.
Air Barrier
Spray foam insulation seals the home to stop conditioned indoor air from escaping and prevent unconditioned air from entering. Air exchange in and out of a home is a leading cause of escalated energy bills.
Interior Insulation
The cell structure and physical properties of spray foam insulation contributes to sound attenuation of sound wall assembly designs. Spray foam insulation systems have been tested for noise reduction and sound transmission control.
Attics
Spray foam insulation seals the home to stop conditioned indoor air from escaping and prevent unconditioned air from entering. Air exchange in and out of a home is a leading cause of escalated energy bills.
Exterior Subgrade
Closed-cell spray foam is recommended for exterior subgrade foundation thermal and moisture management systems. This application damp proofs the foundation and adds to the energy efficiency of the building.
Perimeter Walls
Wall shear and racking strength can be up to three times stronger when insulating with closed-cell foam, rather than conventional insulation in framed walls.
