attic insulation is a highly effective and cost-efficient option for new construction, but it also can be used to retrofit existing homes. This method of insulating is particularly useful for hard-to-reach areas such as basement rim joists, attics, knee walls, overhangs, and bonus rooms.
Cost-Effectiveness of Spray Foam Insulation
One of the biggest benefits that homeowners experience from having spray foam insulation installed is reduced energy costs. This is because the insulation fills gaps, crevices, and spaces that would otherwise allow conditioned air to escape from the home. The resulting drafts can cause the heating and cooling systems to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature, which results in higher utility bills.
Another way that spray foam insulation saves homeowners money is by making the home more comfortable to live in. It does this by reducing external noise transmission and creating a quiet living environment. Additionally, the insulation helps to improve indoor air quality by reducing moisture and mitigating harmful pathogens from entering the home.
Finally, spray foam insulation helps to protect the home from pests such as snakes and bats. This is because it creates an airtight seal that keeps them from being able to enter the house to nest. Additionally, the insulation does not provide a food source for rodents, which makes it less attractive to them.
In addition to the above benefits, spray foam insulation can help to reduce global warming emissions. This is because the blowing agents for the spray insulation contain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which have a global warming potential (GWP) of 3,400 times greater than carbon dioxide on a per-kilo basis.
