About Spray Foam
Spray foam, also known as expanding foam or spray insulation, is a polyurethane based product made from a combination of two liquid chemicals, that, when put together, rapidly expand to greater than 30 times the original volume.
Once fully cured, every crack and crevasse become filled, outside infiltration is eliminated, and the compound adds rigidity and strength to the area.
Spray foam has been in use for over thirty years and continues to gain traction among contractors and customers worldwide. Despite its costliness, spray foam insulation for Ottawa residents is a solid investment. Its benefits can be plainly seen, both in the short and long terms.
Spray foam can help homeowners by reducing heat exchange, stopping air leaks, and increasing your property’s energy efficiency. Spray foam can also help keep moisture, pests, and air pollution out.
A recent analysis showed that homes with spray foam can reduce energy usage up to 5,638 kWh per year compared to the same home insulated and air sealed with other insulation. This amounts a greenhouse gas reduction of 1,556 kg of CO2 per year or, a 33% reduction in the annual emissions of a car.
Why Spray Foam?
- Completely seals seams and small cracks other materials can’t
- Significantly reduces condensation, mold growth, and pest infestation
- Acts as an air, moisture, and vapor barrier using only one product
- Makes your home structurally stronger and more resilient
- Keeps dust and pollen outside of the structure
- Lessens noise pollution
Additional Benefits
- Improved comfort and air quality of your home, business, or property
- Increased energy efficiency of your structure
- Reduced load being placed on your HVAC equipment
- Extended service lifespan of HVAC components
- Decreased energy bills – heating and cooling
- Raised value of your property
Why Choose Spray-Tech Insulation for Spray Foam Insulation in Ottawa
Whether your residence or business is a new build, a renovation, or a retrofitting, our high-quality foam insulation is the best choice. It has the unique ability to fill holes and gaps that would be nearly impossible to fill otherwise, thanks to its high R-value and air barrier characteristics.
After the foam expands, eliminating cracks, crevices, gaps, and voids completely, it goes through a curing process. After this process, there are zero harmful chemicals emitted into the air, thereby making spray foam environmentally friendly and safe to use anywhere.
Once finished, the end result is a durable, lightweight material. No other insulation product out there can equal the performance of spray foam unless additional products, materials, and processes are utilized.
Depending on the class of spray foam insulation used for Ottawa based buildings, open-cell or closed-cell, the strength and water resistance can increase even more.
The Spray-Tech Insulation squad has extensive knowledge pertaining to all the characteristics of expanding foam insulation, and many other insulation types, as well as the many benefits.
Which Spray Foam Insulation is Best?
Open-cell vs. Closed-cell Spray Foam Insulation in Ottawa
Open and closed-cell spray polyurethane foam insulation in Ottawa homes and businesses provide significant improvements when compared to traditional insulation materials and techniques. Open cell spray foam is a softer, slightly weaker material that, apart from being a good insulator, can act as a sound barrier as well.
Closed-cell foam insulation cures to a stronger form and creates a shield from air and vapor infiltration, as well as being a comparable insulator to the open cell type.
Our expertise, coupled with our in-depth consultation and estimate, will shape our best recommendations to meet your needs. They typically involve our skilled contractors utilizing multiple types of insulation to maximize the various sections within your property.
If you’re looking to best improve the performance of your building’s envelope, then closed cell spray foam is the highest quality insulation material you can get.
After just one application, the closed-cell spray polyurethane foam institutes a moisture, air, and vapor barrier that regulates temperature, increases structure-wide efficiency, and saves you a lot of money in energy and construction costs. Furthermore, due to closed cell’s strength and rigidity, your building’s structural integrity will be improved as well.
The chemical composition of closed cell spray foam differs from open cell as it is combined with a gas to keep the cells from breaking “open” and remaining tightly packed together, while insulating through seamless expansion.
The areas within your home or business where closed-cell insulation is the best choice are: basements, attics, crawl spaces and walls – places that need the highest R-value possible – due to the components and equipment housed within those spaces.
The energy, heat and vapors from within those spaces need to be evacuated in a calculated way, not absorbed or transferred into other living/working spaces. The same goes for air, vapor, moisture, and heat from the outside world. With an R-value between 6 and 7.5 per inch, closed-cell spray foam will allow your Ottawa-based structure to exceed building code standards regarding this type of performance.
Energy Efficient Comfort For Every Day Of The Year
At Spray-Tech Insulation, we know how much of a difference upgrading a building in Ottawa with spray foam can make. Here at Spray-Tech, we are always excited to show residents how upgrading and maximizing their buildings potential can be done with just this one product.
Typical homes and commercial buildings using traditional insulation lose up to 50% of conditioned air through gaps, crevices, and untreated spaces, which translates to abnormally high heating and cooling bills.
Our proficient staff and top-quality product can benefit your Ottawa located property in many ways, using spray foam insulation as the centerpiece of our building performance packages.
Spray foam, expertly applied by Spray-Tech insulation to your home or business significantly reduces or completely eliminates air leaks, seals nooks, crannies and crevices, and prevents condensation and moisture collection, all by creating an airtight thermal envelope.
Apart from the benefits spray foam offers your building, there are several, amazing collateral benefits as well:
- Dependability: Our spray foam insulation within your home or business won’t shrink or lose shape like traditional insulation
- Efficiency: Seals air/vapor and insulates simultaneously and eliminates the need for additional insulation types
- Waterproof: Once installed and cured, water will not penetrate and mold won’t form
- Highest R-Value: Spray foam insulation has a higher thermal resistance than any other on the market.
- Stops Energy Loss: The expansion and formulation of our spray foam insulation seals and insulates with one application.
- Perfect Installation through Staff Training: versus fiberglass installation, which is difficult to perfectly apply, our spray foam insulation for Ottawa properties can protect your home, business, and wallet.
- Energy Savings: On average, Indiana Spray Foam Insulation has helped lower our clients energy and utility bills by 30% or greater.
- Investment and Environment: Once your Ottawa structure is improved by our spray foam insulation, it will ultimately, overall be worth more than a similar, traditionally built home or business. The EPA boasts spray foam insulation as being very eco-friendly and having a high performance building will serve to decrease our need for overseas oil.
