We can help reduce your energy bills and keep you comfortable all year round with an insulation upgrade.

Many older homes and buildings lack adequate insulation and have high energy costs. Increasing the amount of insulation in walls, ceilings and attics can significantly lower heating and cooling bills.

Insulation is important in all building types, whether new construction or retrofits to existing structures. In addition to reducing operating expenses, installing more insulation also has environmental benefits by decreasing the production of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants.

Choosing the Right Type of Insulation with AFT Insulation

Attic Insulation is made from paper fibers – primarily recycled newsprint and cardboard – and blown into walls, ceilings, attics, and other spaces with a machine called a blower. The cellulose is mixed with fire-retardant chemicals, primarily boric acid and sodium borate (borax) or ammonium sulfate, to provide mold, insect and rodent resistance and to make the insulation less susceptible to settling.

Wet-spray cellulose insulation fills around wires and pipes more effectively than fiberglass batts, and the installation process helps prevent rot or mildew in wall cavities. However, concern is often expressed that moisture might remain trapped in cellulose, causing it to decompose and rot the wood sheathing of a frame or to absorb and deteriorate the polyethylene vapor barrier used as a vapor barrier in exterior walls.

The Carbon Smart labeling indicates that AFT Fathom has verified this cellulose insulation’s global warming potential impact using a product-specific Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This LCA compares the impacts of this particular cellulose insulation to an industry average, which is the CIMA-CIMAC Product Group benchmark done in compliance with the UL PCR and SM Part B: Benchmarking Addendum.

Spray foam insulation is a highly effective way to increase your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. It insulates and seals walls, ceilings, and attics, reducing drafts and saving on energy bills. Spray foam is also flexible enough to fit into the nooks and crannies of a space. Its R-value, or resistance to heat flow, is higher than traditional fiberglass and cellulose insulation.

When properly installed, spray foam can help save money on energy bills by lowering air leaks, which can account for 40% of a home’s energy loss. It is also an eco-friendly choice, limiting the amount of harmful greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. It is available in many different options, including low-VOC spray foam, which can be a great option for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Spray Foam Insulation: How Insulate It Solutions Enhances Comfort

It is important to hire a trained and experienced contractor for the installation of spray foam. Improper application can result in gaps, air leaks, and mold development. It can also damage the structure, causing structural failure and a shortened lifespan of the product.

It’s important to measure the area that you are insulating, like walls, attics, or ceilings, to find out how much spray foam is needed. Using a calculator and the manufacturer’s coverage rate can help you determine how much spray foam to order. It’s also a good idea to add 10-15% to your total to account for any waste or uneven application during installation. This helps you avoid over-ordering and wasting money.

Unlike fiberglass or cellulose, EcoHome Spray Foam creates an air seal that prevents heat from flowing in and out of your building envelope. This results in lower energy bills year-round. This premium product also impacts your home’s R-value. Insulation’s R-value measures its resistance to heat transfer, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. The majority of heat loss occurs due to convection, and traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation can’t stop it. However, spray foam can, because it effectively stops the air leaks that cause these losses.

It’s a liquid that expands when it’s sprayed and is very durable once it cures. Spray foam can be installed in attics, crawl spaces, basement rim joists, and exposed walls in new construction homes and pole barns.

EcoHome Spray Foam: The Best Spray Foam Insulation for Your Home

There are many benefits of spray foam insulation including energy savings, a healthier home, and increased property value. It’s a good idea to talk with your insulation contractor before applying spray foam in a home. The company should be certified by the spray foam manufacturer, and they should be able to answer any questions you may have about the products and installation process.

It’s important to note that spray foam does off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while it’s being applied and while it’s curing. It’s important to stay out of the house during these times and to use full face and respiratory protection. The VOCs will evaporate once the spray foam is cured. This can take 1-3 days.
