Published on Mar 28, 2015

Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation can be used in two common ways to insulate your attic space and protect your home from in climate weather and moisture related damages – Vented and Non-Vented Attic spaces. In a Vented attic, insulation is used on the attic floor to insulate the living space from seasonal heat and/or cold. Spray foam is used where traditional insulation would be; between the floor joists. The rest of the attic (ie: the roof assembly) is left un-insulated and ventilation is incorporated into the gable, soffit, and ridge vents throughout the roof structure. In a Non-Vented attic, insulation is applied directly to the underside of the roof sheathing to insulate the entire attic from seasonal heat and/or cold. Spray foam is installed between the roof rafters, along the soffit areas and directly to all exterior surfaces such as gable walls, dormers, etc., to produce an air tight building envelope.

Attic Applications - Spray Foam

Spray Foam│Attic Insulation│Crawl Space Insulation

Attic Insulation

Adding insulation to the attic is generally a moderately difficult do-it-yourself (DIY) project, but the benefits can be substantial. If you are doing a major home renovation project, now may be a great time to tackle this project too.

The good news is that, even if you're not comfortable taking on this project yourself, there are many qualified contractors who can help you get the work done. Note that EPA recommends air sealing the attic before adding attic insulation.

The main advantage of spray foam is that it allows you to move the building envelope - the boundary between conditioned and unconditioned space - from the attic floor to the roofline. If you’ve got your HVAC system and ducts in the stupidest place they could possibly be (the attic), then moving the envelope to the roofline can be a good thing. In a new home, spraying foam in the roofline can bring the ducts inside the envelope without having to redesign the system and house.

CRAWLSPACE INSULATION

A properly sealed, moisture-protected, and insulated crawlspace will increase comfort, save on energy costs, improve the durability of the home, and reduce entry of moisture, radon, and other potential irritants or pollutants into the home.

Whichever design is followed, the keys to an effective crawlspace are: Moisture control – using a water-managed foundation system to drain rainwater and groundwater away from foundations. Airtight construction – sealing all air leaks between the conditioned space and the outside prior to insulation installation. Complete insulation coverage – properly installing the correct insulation levels and making sure the insulation coverage is continuous and complete.

Blower Door Tests - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME?

You can save 5%-30% on your energy bill by making upgrades following a home energy assessment.
A professional energy auditor may use a blower door to determine how airtight your home is and to help find leaks.
Professional energy auditors use blower door tests to help determine a home's airtightness. Our Energy Saver 101 infographic explains the importance of a blower door test during a home energy audit.

These are some reasons for establishing the proper building tightness:

Reducing energy consumption due to air leakage
Avoiding moisture condensation problems
Avoiding uncomfortable drafts caused by cold air leaking in from the outdoors
Determining how much mechanical ventilation might be needed to provide acceptable indoor air quality.

COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS

Sustainable buildings are an enormous benefit for building owners, occupants, and the environment. Take an active role in helping reduce greenhouse gases, thus slowing the effects of global warming. Spray polyurethane foam insulation and roofing, because of its efficacy as an air sealer and waterproofing agent, has the potential to be a key component of the durability management strategy for a building. The high R-Value and performance characteristics of spray foam contributes to energy efficiency of a building.

RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS

An environmentally friendly home is a great benefit for builders, occupants, and the environment. Take an active role in helping reduce greenhouse gases, thus slowing the effects of global warming.

By properly sealing a home the amount of oil that is needed to produce electricity and the carbon admitted into the environment is greatly reduced. Spray polyurethane foam insulation, because of its efficacy as an air sealer and waterproofing agent, has the potential to be a key component of the durability management strategy for a home. In addition to adding durability, spray foam contributes to projects’ achievement of high levels of energy efficiency because of the high R-value per inch and the performance characteristics of foam.

WHAT IS SPRAY FOAM ?

Closed Cell and Open Cell Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation can maximize a homeowners investment by sealing the building envelope to stop 

conditioned indoor air from escaping and prevent unconditioned air from enteringa home. Air exchange 

in and out of a home is a leading cause of escalated energy bills. The mechanical systems that heat and cool

buildings are continuously operating; reducing extreme temperature variations saves on the overuse of mechanical systems and leads to lower energy bills.

Air Sealing Your Home

Reducing the amount of air that leaks in and out of your home is a cost-effective way to cut heating and cooling costs, improve durability, increase comfort, and create a healthier indoor environment. Caulking and weatherstripping are two simple and effective air-sealing techniques that offer quick returns on investment, often one year or less. Caulk is generally used for cracks and openings between stationary house components such as around door and window frames, and weatherstripping is used to seal components that move, such as doors and operable windows.
