Environmentally-Friendly Spray Foam Insulation

Although spray foam insulation is most often used for insulating hard-to-reach areas of building constructions, such as cathedral ceilings, homes which use environmentally-friendly spray foam for all insulation are healthier and have more effective thermal insulation as well as air and vapor barriers. These three important properties are rolled into one with the application of spray foam insulation, and not only is the foam we offer made of renewable materials and free of harmful chemicals such as bleach – our foam can help to reduce your energy consumption, and thus expenditure.

The Benefits of Closed Cell Foam

The Enviro Foam which we supply is‘closed cell’ foam, meaning that it stops convection currents. This means that if you insulate your home using our foam, problems such as mold and condensation in your home’s interior will be less likely occurrences. Closed cell foam also has higher strength than open cell foam, and thus using this type of material for insulation will give you a more resilient result. Even though Enviro Foam is environmentally-friendly, it does not sacrifice functionality for ecological respect, and can provide you with the best insulation you could ask for.

Enviro Foam is better than a Standard Polyurethane Foam

A standard polyurethane foam spray may contain Ozone-depleting blowing agents which have a negative impact on the environment. In Canada, Enviro Foam is the only material of its kind which does not compromise the Ozone layer – it uses zero Ozone-depleting substances in order to spray over structures. Enviro Foam, unlike certain Polyurethane foam insulation materials, is applied in liquid form. It is thus able to provide consistent, solid cover which keeps every crack and hole filled. Our Enviro Foam will provide a continuous seal, for the maximum possible insulation.

Open vs. Closed Cell Foam Insulation Efficiency

While open cell foam has its uses in certain industries, closed cell is preferable in insulation as its solid construction serves to limit the passage of humid air through to walls, and thus prevents common problems caused by humidity. Just three inches of closed cell foam can stop 95% of heat loss due to conduction, and only a quarter of an inch is needed to stop 99% of heat loss due to convection. With this thermal efficiency, your power consumption can be greatly reduced. In fact, we offer to pay your gas bill for a year when you have your home insulated using Enviro spray foam.

Polyurethane vs. Icynene Foam

There are various differences between polyurethane and icynene foam. In the debate of polyurethane vs. icynene, it should be noted that icynene does not contain ozone-depleting chemicals and is considered green. Icynene is made as flexible open cell foam, however – Enviro Foam’s strength lies in its closed cell structure and is thus better for insulation purposes. For high-efficiency building envelopes, use Enviro Foam and benefit from savings while the Earth benefits from less wasting of resources.
