Spray Foam Insulation
Best Spray Foam Insulation Contractors Services Around Chicago.
While traditional fiberglass insulation can only protect against heating and cooling loss caused by conduction, spray foam thoroughly protects against all six paths of heating and cooling loss.
Conduction – The transfer of heat through materials in contact with insulation.
Convection – The movement of hot and cold air in your walls.
Radiation – The transfer of heat through your walls and roof.
Air Infiltration – The transfer of heat by air flow between the exterior and interior.
Moisture Accumulation – Moisture within the insulation that leads to heat loss/gain.
Air Intrusion – The movement of outside air into your home and then back out.
- Better moisture control
- Reduced intrusion of dust and pollen, noise and pests
- Increased structural strength with closed cell spray foam

Frequently Asked Questions
Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam works very well when it is applied to the roof of the attic. You will feel little difference (about 5-10 degrees F) between the attic and your common space. With this type of air sealing and insulation can reduce the energy consumption of heating and cooling between 40 to 60 percent.
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
Enjoy a healthier home or working space
Illnesses make people less productive. They have the potential to make you lag with projects at work, school and worse off, deny you the joy and happiness that you’ve always enjoyed. As such, property owners must play their role in ensuring that they have healthy homes. One way of achieving this is via ceiling and wall insulation. Insulation helps you control moisture much better. As such, mould and mildew formation becomes a thing of the past. Disease-causing organisms such as allergens and pollen will no longer have access to your home. This means lower asthma and allergies rates in homes, as well as offices. While insulation alone doesn’t guarantee a completely healthy working or living space, if properly installed, it can go a long way in preventing illnesses amongst family members and your employees.

Increased comfort
With wall and ceiling insulation, you’ll finally say goodbye to unbearable temperatures. Your home or office will neither get too warm during summer, not too cold during winter. Insulation helps to keep cool and air-conditioned air inside a property. As such, with an efficiently insulated building, you can enjoy comfortable temperatures throughout the year irrespective of the season.
Open Cell vs Closed Cell Foam: Which Should I Choose?
Trying to decide what type of foam you should use for your jobs? It’s trickier than it seems – though closed cell and open cell foam both insulate a home, they do it in different ways.
What’s the Difference Between Open Cell and Closed Cell Foam Insulation?
Spray insulation is referred to open cell or closed cell because of the difference between the small bubbles (cells) that make up the foam.
Open-cell foam is full of cells that aren’t completely encapsulated. In other words, the cells are deliberately left open. This makes the foam a softer, more flexible material.
Closed-cell foam is made up of cells that are, as the name suggests, completely closed. The cells are pressed together, so air and moisture are unable to get inside the foam. Because of this, closed-cell foam is much more rigid and stable than open-cell foam.
