Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation for Crawl spaces
Roughly 90% of American homes are insulated with fiberglass. The material is not airtight, unfortunately. Outside air and airborne pollutants can enter a house through cracks and crevices. Fiberglass used to be the recommended material for a long time, partially due to cost and ease of installation, but spray foam now far outweighs fiberglass for any home.
Spray foam insulation is our number one, always-recommended choice. For optimal performance from the fiberglass insulation, we spray foam all penetrations to ensure a hermetic seal.
Many factors necessitate an insulation upgrade, but what makes spray foam insulation the best option? Spray foam is versatile enough to cover all cracks, ensuring a draft-free crawl space. Eliminating these entryways will reduce the amount of pollen, dust, and other airborne contaminants in your home or building. By doing so, you enhance the quality of air within your home while decreasing the workload placed on your HVAC system.
Mold growth in the crawl space is prevented by spray foam insulation because it repels moisture. Moisture buildup not only makes it possible for mold to grow, but it can also change the temperature inside your home or business and cause wood to rot quickly. Insects, rodents, and other critters won't be able to make it through crawl space spray foam insulation because of its complexity and density. In extreme weather, when pests are more likely to seek shelter underground, this is very useful.
Spray foam has an R-value of 5.5-7.12, making it more energy efficient than fiberglass batting. The R-value shows how well the material keeps heat from escaping. Spray foam insulation can last up to and beyond 80 years. This is because it sticks to the surface it is installed on and fits into the same spot. It's a worthwhile investment because it won't wear out or break down over time, whether it's a home or a business.
