The Highest
R-value in the Market
Insulation is rated in terms of thermal resistance - R-value - which
indicates the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating
effectiveness. SPF has the highest R-value (7 per in.) of all readily available,
cost-effective insulation available in the market today.Reduces or Eliminates Convection Looping.
Temperature differences between the unconditioned outside air and the
conditioned living space can create convective looping (warm air rising, cold air falling)
within a stud cavity. The impact of this looping degrades the R-value of most common forms
of insulation and causes additional load on your home's heating and cooling system. The
superior R-value (7 per in.) and unique sealing characteristics of polyurethane foam
reduce this temperature variance and the effect of convective looping, saving you energy
dollars.
Meets Building Code Requirements.
Don't worry about durability. The foam is approved by all three national
building codes and will perform for the life of your building. Its exceptional thermal and
structural characteristics will save you, and generations to come, from the problems
associated with the high cost of energy.
Creates a Healthy Living Space.
Sprayed polyurethane foam effectively protects your living space form
unwanted moisture build-up and condensation caused by warm moist air meeting cool dry air
within the building envelope (stud cavities, attics). Installed by a Qualified Contractor,
the sprayed-in-place pol effectively seals your home against unwanted moisture. You can
now use modern ventilation techniques to create the best, most habitable indoor living
space free of excess moisture and airborne pathogens for a healthy, more comfortable home.
"Spray polyurethane foam insulation
can be applied to a home
under construction and will not only insulate, but will also reduce
air leakage in the building envelope."
US Department of Energy Insulation Fact
Sheet, August 1997
"Spray polyurethane foam alone can
provide an air and
water-tight barrier."
