Spray foam insulation is a two-component mixture of polyol resin and isocyanate that comes together at the tip of a gun and sprays onto surfaces to be insulated. Once sprayed, it expands and conforms to nooks and crannies to offer full coverage for maximum efficiency.Learn more :316insulationservices.com

The result is a tightly sealed home that significantly reduces energy costs. This includes both heating and cooling, as well as reducing the amount of greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere.

However, airtight homes can create their own set of problems if not properly ventilated. This can lead to a build-up of carbon dioxide and trap volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other pollutants within a home or building. It also increases humidity levels, which, left unchecked, can lead to mold issues.

What Sets 316 Insulation Apart in the World of Spray Foam Insulation

For this reason, if you’re considering DIY spray foam insulation, it’s best to consult with a professional who has experience working with the product. The process of mixing and spraying can be complicated, and achieving consistent expansion and coverage can be challenging without previous experience.

Additionally, even after the spray foam is applied and has had time to cure, it still releases VOCs during this process, which can be harmful for installers and future occupants. It’s important to ensure adequate ventilation and appropriate PPE is used during the installation and curing process. Choosing a spray foam blown with hydrofluoroolefin blowing agent such as Ecomate that is free of CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs helps to mitigate this issue.
