Attic insulation provides excellent coverage and is a great choice for new construction homes. It can be installed in attics, walls, ceilings, gables, and more. During the installation process, the spray foam is sprayed onto surfaces and expands in place to fill all cracks and gaps. This makes it more effective than fiberglass or cellulose insulation and helps to create a more energy-efficient home.
The total amount of spray foam needed depends on the square footage of surfaces to be insulated, as well as the desired R-Value. The R-Value indicates how well the spray foam will stop heat from passing through a structure. It is important to choose the correct R-Value when calculating how much spray foam you need as this will help your HVAC system work less and save you money.
The Role of Spray Foam Insulation in Modern Homes
Once you have a solid idea of the area that needs insulating, it is time to calculate the total square feet of surfaces. This can be done by measuring the length and width of each surface that you are insulating. The total square footage is then multiplied by the depth of the spray foam you wish to install. This number is used to calculate your total board feet which is the measurement used by spray foam contractors to generate a quote.
Having high quality spray foam insulation can significantly reduce your energy bills by keeping the air in your home warm during the winter and cool during the summer. It will also allow your HVAC systems to work less and improve their lifespans. If you are concerned about environmental impact, look for products such as BASF Walltite CM01 or Genyk Boreal Nature, which use low GWP blowing agents.
