Spray Foam Insulation 316 Insulation

Spray foam insulation is a high-performance alternative to traditional fiberglass batts that helps reduce home energy costs. It’s also a waterproof and moisture resistant product that prevents mold, mildew and other contaminants from entering the home.

A professional Insulation Contractor can install spray foam in an attic, crawl space or rim joist in new construction homes. It can also be sprayed into walls and roofs in existing homes, pole barns and other commercial structures.

Spray insulation works by creating an air seal in a building envelope that blocks convective and conductive heat transfer. This keeps your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It also prevents water and moisture from entering through gaps or holes that are left open by other types of insulation like fiberglass batts, cellulose or rigid foam.

Eco-Friendly Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation with 316 Insulation

There are two types of spray insulation available to homeowners: open and closed cell. Open-cell foam uses liquid chemicals that are propelled from a spray gun and atomized into tiny droplets. They then expand in place to fill a gap or hole and provide excellent coverage.

This type of spray insulation is typically more affordable than closed-cell. Closed-cell spray foam insulation has individual cells or pockets that aren’t fully closed, and it’s more densely packed than open-cell spray foam. It’s more expensive than open-cell spray insulation, but it is more effective as an insulator and creates a stronger barrier against air movement and sound.

Many companies offer closed-cell spray insulation options that use low GWP blowing agents. For example, BASF Walltite CM01 and Genyk Boreal Nature use HFOs to drastically lower the GWP compared to other spray foams using traditional HFC blowing agents.
