Spray foam insulation is the future of insulation. Advantages exist for financial savings, health, building efficiency and greener environment. Discover below how you can benefit from spray foam insulation efficiency.

SAVE ON UTILITIES

Foam insulation expands around every void and seals all air infiltration, the primary source of energy loss. Indoor temperatures stay constant, allowing decreased use of heat or air conditioning. This translates to savings on utility bills and extends the life of your heating and cooling equipment by 4 times.

While the initial costs of installation may exceed that of fiberglass insulation, in the long term Biobond is significantly more cost effective.

Other Thermal Efficient benefits include:

• Perimeter heat distribution and zoning are typically not needed when a home has been sprayed with foam insulation. Heat Distribution within the structure occurs more rapidly than heat loss through the walls or ceiling.
  
• Raised heel or "energy" trusses are unnecessary. Biobond insulation is sprayed over the top plate. Air will not permeate through and wind will not displace.
  
• The heating and cooling system can be down-sized from what is typically installed.

BREATHE CLEAN AIR

Spray foam insulation eliminates air infiltration and seals a building so tight that an air to air exchanger must be installed. This results in premium indoor air quality (IAQ) because dust, fiber, pollen and other pollutants have no way in.

Biobond foam application emits no VOC's or CFS's during application or throughout the life of the product.

Inhalation of toxic molds has proven a problem for homeowners and insurance companies. Spray foam insulation eliminates breeding ground for mold because it eliminates the entry of mold spores and prevents moisture accumulation.

Also since spray foam expands into the smallest cracks and holes it has proven to reduce the entry of unwanted pest and insects. Spray foam is a polyurethane product and does not act as a nesting ground or source of food for pests.

CREATE STRUCTURAL STRENGTH

The application of spray foam actually strengthens a building structure. The expanding foam fills the gap between each wall, floor or roof cavity. The studs, joists and sheeting are bonded together creating optimum structural strength. After curing, spray foam is durable and will not shrink, settle or disintegrate over time.

FOAM vs. FIBERGLASS

R-for-R all insulation is not created equal!
The R-Value of Biobond insulation is R-13, the same as fiber glass insulation. But, foam expands to fill every crack and crevice forming a complete seal from all air infiltration. Fiberglass batts, on the other hand, are cut around the electrical and duct work, which leaves small openings for air infiltration.

An experienced, thermographic inspector stated in a letter to Home Energy Magazine:

"Of the hundreds of buildings I have inspected with infrared thermography I have yet to see even one fiber glass job that doesn't suffer some reduced thermal performance. Often the degradation is substantial, especially under windy conditions."

Foam, unlike fiberglass batts, resist mold growth. Recently many homeowners are suffering from illnesses claimed by toxic mold growing behind their walls.
