Foam insulation outperforms both fiberglass and cellulose insulation due to the simple fact that air infiltrates both fiberglass and cellulose. When this happens, the R-value of these inferior products can drop by as much as 50%. Because fiberglass and cellulose do not eliminate air infiltration, once air passes across these products, their R-value drops. Bottom line: Just because it's rated an R-30, doesn't mean it's going to perform to an R-30. When products are tested for their R-value in a lab it's a static environment, meaning there is not air passing across or against the material. Ultimately, this is not how the home will properly function. Where you have penetrations in your exterior walls for windows, doors, sill plates, vents and hose bibs, you have air infiltration. Once that air hits fiberglass or cellulose, the R-value it was assigned at testing is inaccurate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f57aef78bbbd402bc7f312d/1600975328704-0OUNO8Q2HZZXF3ZPO2NW/4.png ABOUT - FOAM IS MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT Foam eliminates air infiltration, which is a huge drain on energy bills. Foam has a higher performing R-value than other types of insulation. Foam does not deteriorate and sag in the walls, as do other types of insulation. A wall is not insulated if the fiberglass has fallen to the bottom of the wall. Also, fiberglass is known to shrink as it ages leaving voids in walls. Foam fills every crack and crevice and stays in place forever. Foam insulation does not hold water. Should your house flood, for example, the foam insulation in the walls will dry out and its physical properties fully restored. The same can't be said about fiberglass or cellulose. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f57aef78bbbd402bc7f312d/1600975401130-IN993JD259PLPD044Q8G/2.png ABOUT - Foam is Healthier By stopping air infiltration dust, pollen and mold spores are kept out of the home, eliminating many health concerns. Foam insulation does not enable mold growth. Mold needs food, air and water to survive. Due to the fact air infiltration is eliminated and polyurethane foam is not a source of food for mold, the probability of mold developing in your walls is significantly reduced. Foam insulation contains no formaldehyde, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC's) and has no toxic off-gassing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f57aef78bbbd402bc7f312d/1600975498888-ZVA80LW2OUFPEWSKZ0AH/3.png ABOUT - Foam Can Reduce Your AC Requirements Due to the elimination of air infiltration, foam insulation can reduce your heating and air conditioning tonnage by as much as 40% without the loss of efficiency or comfort. This allows the homeowner to purchase a smaller, less expensive AC unit. In homes using a "closed attic assembly" - meaning we spray foam insulation in the walls and under the roof decking and close or eliminate all soffit and ridge vents — the attic becomes a semi-conditioned space. When the attic becomes a semi-conditioned space, the temperature of the attic is no longer 120 degrees but is around 90 or 95 degrees. This means attic air that inevitably leaks into your AC ducts is now cooler, and the AC unit is not working as hard to cool the home to a desired temperature. This benefit holds true in cold weather as well, as the desired temperature is now hot compared to cold air that will leak into ductwork in a cold "open" attic. https://www.energyguardfoam.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-05-05
