Spray foam insulation is incredibly popular with builders and homeowners alike. The main reason? It works! Spray foam is one of the most effective insulation options because of its high R-Value, durability and ability to reduce air leakage throughout a building.

Why Spray Foam Insulation Works

Foam insulation has a relatively high R-Value. Why does this matter? R-Value is a measurement that expresses a product’s ability to resist heat loss. This measurement is used across the industry to compare insulation materials’ performance. The higher the R-Value, the more effective the product.

There are other important factors to keep in mind besides R-Value, such as durability and air infiltration. R-Values are determined in carefully tested lab conditions that don’t take weather, or tricky installation requirements into account. A product with a great R-Value may not maintain performance if buffeted by winds or subjected to temperature and humidity changes. This is where spray foam insulation Dallas really starts to shine.

Spray foam insulation is a very durable product that performs well despite the constant fluctuations in North Texas weather, so it retains its R-Value while providing an air-tight seal in every nook and cranny of a cavity. Having air tight insulation is one of the greatest advantages to having spray foam installed in a building’s attic or walls. Spray foam weatherizes the cavity it fills by keeping the air you’ve been carefully heating or cooling in, and preventing outside air from sneaking in through small cracks in the insulation. It also helps prevent the transfer of airborne dust and reduces sound transmission so you can breathe easier and keep a quieter household.

Where Spray Foam Insulation Works

Spray foam insulation can be installed in attics or wall cavities throughout a house. Garland Insulating recommends considering spray foam insulation for new construction homes, warehouses, metal buildings and buildings with cathedral ceilings. The foam clings to the odd surfaces you find in warehouses and metal workshops or structures with unique ceilings which we encountered in our projects for the Circle T Barn and an Austin-area construction company.
