concrete leveling is an eco-friendly and cost-efficient solution for new construction, remodels, renovations, pole barns, and existing homes. It is an alternative to fiberglass, cellulose, and mineral wool. This insulator is sprayed into walls, ceilings, and the attic to create an air barrier. This enables the home to maintain an even temperature throughout the year and decrease energy consumption by reducing drafts, cold floors, and high utility bills.

A professional should install this type of insulation to ensure that the process is completed safely and accurately. The two chemicals in spray foam – isocyanate and polyol resin – are kept in separate hoppers until they meet at the tip of the gun, then react to form an air and moisture barrier. Spray foam insulation can be sprayed into hard-to-reach areas and is typically applied in a 3/4-inch to 3-inch thick lift depending on climate.

Closed-cell spray foam insulation offers higher R-values than open-cell. This type of spray foam is also more rigid than open-cell, so it improves structural integrity in the attic and wall cavities. It can be used in a variety of areas including the attic, basement, and crawl space.

Both closed and open-cell foams provide sound dampening qualities. The difference is that open-cell spray foam allows sound to pass through, while closed-cell insulation absorbs and reduces sounds.

It is important for a homeowner to prepare their home for the installation of spray foam insulation. The crew will need to remove any old insulation in the attic, crawl space, and rim joist of an existing home. They will then run a hose through the area to be sprayed. This liquid insulation will quickly expand to fill the spaces and nooks in the joists, creating a tight seal. The crew should leave the house during this process because of the off-gassing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
