A TYPICAL 2500 SQ FT. BUILDING HAS MORE THAN A 1/2 MILE OF CRACKS AND CREVICES. THIS USUALLY OCCURS IN:
Poorly fitted and flashed doors & windows
Plumbing/electrical outlets
Gaps in drywall and wall plates
Rim/framing joists
WITH AN AVERAGE 8 MPH WIND, YOUR BUILDING COULD LOSE UP TO 30% INSTALLED R-VALUE. MOST INSULATION MATERIALS DO NOT BLOCK AIR AND REQUIRE AN AIR BARRIER (AN INCREMENTAL COST WHEN COMPARING INSTALLATION COSTS).
Air moves in and out of your building structure through every hole, crack, and seam.
About one third of this air infiltrates through openings in your ceilings, walls and floors.
Even small voids in irregular framing or at the end of the batt of 1-2% of the insulation area can result in 25-40% loss of R-value.
Spray Polyurethane Foem is an effective air barrier and weather barrier because of its ability to seamlessly fill irregular spaces and provide water resistance.
We also offer Batt fiberglass insulation as well as blown-in fiberglass insulation.
