EcoHome Spray Foam Insulation
EcoHome Spray Foam creates a custom air seal that prevents heat loss during the winter and hot or cold air from leaking during the summer, drastically lowering energy bills. It also blocks moisture build up in the walls and roof that can lead to mold or mildew problems. Conventional fibre insulation tries to stop heat loss by slowing convection but this can cause moisture issues. Ecohome uses closed-cell spray foam that traps air molecules and stops convection. Just a quarter inch of spray foam will stop 99% of convection and 3 inches will reduce energy loss by up to 40%.
Energy efficiency remains spray foam’s strongest sustainability feature, saving money on heating and cooling over the life of your home. This reduction in energy consumption results in a significant reduction of carbon emissions over the course of your building’s lifespan.
The Durability of EcoHome Spray Foam Insulation
When installed correctly, spray foam is a long-term sustainable improvement to your home. However, improper application can result in off-gassing and moisture issues that can undermine sustainability goals. For this reason, it is important to use only certified professionals and products assessed by the British Board of Agrement.
It’s important to note that although spray foam is a sustainable option, it can impact the resale value of your home. Mortgage companies may be wary of properties that have spray foam insulation, possibly resulting in reduced valuations or the need for costly specialist inspections before loan approval. This can be avoided by only using open-cell spray foam and ensuring it is properly installed by a professional.
