Why You Should Leave Insulation Installation to the Professionals at Foam Engineers

There are a lot of home improvement jobs around the home that you can do yourself. You can fix a leaky faucet, repaint your walls, or change a light fixture. But installing home insulation is one job that should be left to an experienced professional.

No matter what kind of home insulation is installed, there are serious safety concerns that should not be ignored. Insulating a home is a difficult job that will need to be redone if the homeowner makes any mistakes.

Health and Safety

Improper installation or removal of fiberglass insulation can lead to serious lung and skin problems. Like all insulation jobs, it can easily get messy, and only an experienced professional is sure to avoid costly mistakes. Cellulose insulation is also dangerous to install on your own, and can create a huge amount of dust. This type of insulation requires special equipment to blow the insulation into crevices during application.

Efficiency and Results

Spray foam insulation offers one of the best quality insulation systems for your home, but this too requires the services of a professional. As the only form of insulation that provides a complete air seal, it’s a truly impressive technology. There are unique materials and chemicals that produce its sealing properties, which could be dangerous if not installed with the proper safeguards and correct techniques. Don’t take a chance with a job that could be done perfectly by a trained technician.

Spray Foam Insulation Modern Marvels

Find out more about foam insulation and its many benefits with this full clip. Foam insulation comes in several different forms, and the most effective type is spray foam. Spraying foam evenly takes skill, and when done correctly, forms a seamless membrane that stops leaks. Spray foam is able to sink into small cracks and crevices that would otherwise stay open and exposed to air.

Foam Engineers Explains: 4 Reasons Conventional Insulation Just Doesn't Cut It

Most homeowners appreciate the importance and value of good insulation. But not all types of insulation are equal. For truly thorough and effective insulation, spray foam insulation is the best.

The key advantage to spray foam insulation is its complete air seal, which cannot be obtained through other insulation. There are many reasons for choosing spray foam over other methods, including the following.

1.      Conventional insulation is less efficient.

The average home creates twice as much greenhouse gas as an average car. Conventional insulation means lower efficiency, more money out of your pocket, and higher strain on the environment. Unlike conventional insulation, spray foam fills in cracks and crevices, forming the tight seal necessary to truly insulate your home. An air seal offers real energy savings for homeowners and for the planet.

2.      Spray Foam insulation reduces noise.

The main purpose of insulation is to act as a thermal blockade against hot or cold air leaks, but it has other perks as well. Insulation can be an excellent noise dampener. Conventional insulation doesn’t seal a space as completely as spray foam does. A home insulated with spray foam is a much quieter, more peaceful place to live. Your family will sleep better and be more relaxed in a home that is free of outside noise and nuisance.

3.      Conventional insulation is much less durable.

Fiberglass insulation and other types can sag and droop with age. They will also allow moisture to enter your home, which can lead to degradation, rotting, and mold growth. Spray foam provides an air-tight and water-tight seal, which not only adds strength to the integrity of the walls, but also blocks out moisture.

4.      Homeowners will save money on utilities with Spray Foam.

Any insulation is better than no insulation, but homes with spray foam can save up to 30% or 50% every month on utility bills. Some homeowners hesitate to invest in spray foam because of installation costs, but long-term savings often surpass initial expenses.
