A lot of homeowners tend to overlook the option of using spray foam insulation in their homes because they fear it is going to cost too much and would require too much commitment. However, we believe that if everyone knows just how beneficial spray foam insulation can be for homes and families, it would not be so easily rejected.
The truth is, spray foam insulation actually outperforms other insulation types in incredible ways. Here are some reasons why you should choose spray foam insulation for your property:
Spray foam insulation is a really good insulator because of its expansive nature. Spray foam is able to seal every nook and cranny that other types of insulation can easily miss and leave exposed. It is highly-resistant and can really provide an air-tight seal. This air-tight seal proves to be about 24 times less permeable than other insulation types. Air leaks are avoided because of this. For these reasons it is now given the highest rank on the market when it comes to insulation.
It prevents moisture. Because of its high quality and ability to tightly seal, there is no way for other elements aside from air, like water and moisture to gain access to your house. Moisture usually finds its way in through holes and cracks in crawl spaces and walls that are not tightly covered or sealed.
It keeps you safe from mould. We know that spray foam is water-resistant. Another great thing about it is that its composition of an inert polymer does not allow the growth of mould and mildew. They are easily avoided because the material provides them with no source of food for these unwanted moulds.
It is very long-lasting. Did you know that spray foam insulation has an indefinite lifespan? Probably not. Well, you would find it amazing that you can enjoy the benefits of your spray foam insulation for at least 20 years before actually needing re-insulation. This will definitely save you a lot of money over the years.
It reduces your energy consumption and helps you achieve a ‘green’ household. Every homeowner or businessman who has decided to try spray foam insulation can tell you how much they save on their energy expenses. On average, spray foam insulation can offer you about 50% energy savings. Now, wouldn’t you like that?
These are only some of the benefits of spray foam insulation. If you have any questions about it or if you have decided to try its amazing insulating powers, give George Kent Home Improvements a call and we will be more than happy to assist you.
