Celebrated local personality, Mr. Sunshine, announces selfie tip of the day on Spray Foam insulation. Indeed, spray foam insulation is just one of the many variables that comprises the Komprehensiv solution. Mr. Sunshine's recent podcast campaign is an effort to educate potential customers on the many variables that make up the Komprehensiv solution.
"Spray Foam insulation does so much more than traditional insulation. It comes out in a liquid form and and as it's sprayed in it gets into the cracks and crevices, and it expands to a hundred times its normal volume. This creates an air barrier. Air no longer flows through leaks and breaks in the framework and the roof, and places like that," said Michael Janzen, Mr. Sunshine himself, and partner at Komprehensiv.
Indeed, spray foam insulation is gaining widespread popularity as an alternative to traditional insulation such as fiberglass. Spray foam insulation is comprised of isocyanate and polyol resin, which comes together at the tip of the gun, and then sprayed into roof tiles where it expands into wall cavities.
The benefit of spray foam insulation is a reduction in energy waste, and thus a reduction in utility bills. It has been said by the US Department of Energy that 40% of a home's energy is diminished as a result of air infiltration through the walls, doorways, and windows. Buildings that are treated with spray foam insulate 50% more efficiently than traditional products.
But there is also an auxiliary benefit to spray foam insulation. It will protect against moisture buildup, the indirect cause of mold and mildew growth. Nothing can decrease the value of your property faster than a serious mold problem. What's more, mold growth can go undetected, and cause allergic reactions, leading to poor health. Lastly, spray foam insulation is known to reduce noise. It serves as a barrier to sound and will protect your home from outside noise.
