Spray Foam Insulation 316 Insulation
Spray foam insulation is a highly efficient and effective alternative to fiberglass or cellulose insulation. It is sprayed into wall cavities, rim joist and other open spaces in new construction, and in attics and nooks and crannies in existing homes, barns and pole sheds. It creates a tight air barrier, blocking convective heat transfer from cold exterior to warm interior and vice versa. It also prevents air infiltration, which can account for up to 40% of a building’s energy loss.
It contains tiny pockets of air that create an 316 Insulation layer, keeping heat from passing through walls and ceilings. It offers high R-value per inch – the higher the R-value, the better the insulation. It is sprayed as liquid and expands to the space, creating an air-tight seal that will keep a home or building’s occupants warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
How 316 Insulation Delivers Superior Spray Foam Insulation Services
It is important to hire a professional to install spray foam insulation because it can off-gas large amounts of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) during the actual spraying process as well as while it is curing. It is recommended that occupants of the home vacate during this time and stay away until the spraying and curing have finished and the house has been properly ventilated. It is also important to opt for low GWP blowing agents, such as HFOs (hydrogenated polyols) over traditional HFCs when choosing a spray foam insulation product. In addition, look for BASF Walltite CM01 and Genyk Boreal Nature spray foam insulation, which both use HFOs as the primary blowing agent.
