Spray Foam Insulation 316 Insulation

Spray foam is a high-performance insulation material that is sprayed onto a surface to create an effective barrier. The foam expands and hardens to provide a thick coating of insulation. This helps to limit air infiltration, improving energy efficiency. It is commonly used in new construction homes, pole barns, and commercial structures.

It is typically sprayed by a trained professional from a large rig. The rig contains an advanced computer that ensures the proper mixture of 2 chemicals (isocyanate and polyol resin). These chemically react to form the spray foam. This insulated coating is applied to roof tiles, concrete slabs, and wall cavities.

The Spray Foam Insulation Process with 316 Insulation: A Step-by-Step Guide

Using spray foam to insulate the walls of your home provides a number of benefits. Its air-tight seal helps to keep moisture and pollutants from escaping the interior of your home, reducing indoor air quality problems and increasing the life of your roof and other structural components.

Spray foam also reduces drafts, a common problem in many homes and buildings. The foam’s unique structure gets into every nook and cranny to block the flow of hot or cold air. This can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs.

When selecting a spray foam insulation contractor, it is important to understand terms like yield and R-value. A “yield” is the difference between the amount of raw chemical inputs and the finished spray foam. Closed-cell spray foam has a lower yield than open-cell spray foam. A “R-value” measures the ability of a material to resist heat flow through the substrate it is installed on.
