316 Insulation can help southern Vermont and southwestern New Hampshire homeowners save on energy bills by creating a custom air seal in the building envelope of a home or commercial project. It also provides a range of other benefits, such as better indoor comfort and improved indoor air quality.
The key to spray foam insulation is its ability to fill and seal gaps and cracks in a home or building. It’s sprayed onto a surface, such as a wall or attic floor, and then expands to 30-60 times its liquid volume. This expansion creates a continuous and highly effective insulation barrier.
There are two primary types of spray polyurethane foam, open-cell and closed-cell. The type of foam you choose will depend on a number of factors, such as climate and the specific application.
The Process of Spray Foam Insulation with 316 Insulation Explained
When comparing the different insulation options for your project, consider the yield (the amount of finished product you get from the raw chemicals used to make it). Closed-cell spray foam has a lower yield than open-cell, meaning it takes more of the raw ingredients to produce the same amount of insulating material.
Another important factor when deciding on spray foam is its flammability. While spray foam is a non-combustible building material, it’s essential to pair it with flashing around penetrations like windows and doors. This helps to direct water and moisture away from the structure and prevent damage to the insulation and underlying building materials.
