About Spray Foam
Spray foam insulation, also called spray polyurethane foam (SPF), is a newer type of insulation used in place of many different types of insulation including fiberglass and cellulose. Icynene spray foam is a chemical product created by two materials, isocyanate and polyol resin. The properties of this material namely, expansion, heat resistance, and high density make it suitable as an insulation and air barrier substance to seals walls, floors, and ceiling cavities against air movement. This includes spaces around electrical outlets and light fixtures, and also where walls meet windows and doors.

Spray foam comes in two variations; open-cell and closed-cell. Closed-cell foam insulation is ideal for exterior applications in addition to filling walls, crawlspaces and the basement. It is also water-resistant and has a higher compressive strength than open-cell foam.
Spray foam has some incredible qualities. It has a high R-value (the measure of thermal resistance). It is resistant to water, mold and insects. It expands into hard-to-reach nooks and crannies also adding structural support to walls and roofs.

Air can be lost through leaks and holes in a building’s envelope. Foam insulation’s air sealing properties can help reduce the workload of your HVAC system. Spray foam expands within seconds to fill every part where it is applied, creating an insulating and air sealing barrier. This barrier can help to reduce air leakage, keeping the conditioned air in your home. This, in turn, saves the amount spent on heating and cooling costs.
With the money you save on your heating and cooling bills, it’s apparent that your investment in spray foam insulation in Syracuse, NY will pay for itself in just a few years. |
How Spray Foam Insulation Differs from Other Types of Insulation
For homes and offices in Syracuse, NY, it's advantageous to use spray foam instead of other materials for the following reasons.
|
Air BarrierNo matter how tight a roll of fiberglass fits into space, it will always leave some room around the edges and at the seams for air to infiltrate. Not so with spray foam. Spray foam pushes itself into even the tiniest crack or crevice. Air simply has nowhere to go.
|
|
Moisture BarrierWhile it’s important to seal your home against the wind it’s just as important to seal it against moisture. Most forms of insulation do a poor job of preventing moisture from infiltrating the home. Spray foam stands tall against moisture. Your entire house will be drier, healthier, and more comfortable.
|
|
Enhanced Structural IntegrityA house is only as strong as its frame and most forms of insulation do nothing to enhance the ability of the home to stand harsh weather. By grabbing hold of walls and floors by expanding into and filling cracks and crevices spray foam essentially becomes one with the surface you spray it on, adding its strength to that of the wall, floor, or ceiling.
|
|
Remains Effective Even When WetIf or your home is subjected to flooding the insulation in your walls that got wet will need to be ripped out and replaced. Unless it was spray foam. Spray foam insulation is impermeable to water and retains its insulating abilities no matter how wet it gets.
|
|
Higher R-valuesSpray foam insulation in Syracuse, NY has as much as two times the thermal resistance as traditional insulation methods. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.
