Improve the comfort and energy efficiency of your home with spray foam insulation

Spray foam insulation in Johns Island

A versatile energy-saver. 2-part spray foam expands after it's applied, creating an effective thermal and moisture barrier. Thanks to its unique properties, it can be used to solve comfort & energy problems in many parts of the house.

The insulation "team" that's supposed to make our homes comfortable and energy efficient is truly a motley crew. In the old days, sawdust was sometimes dumped inside walls to slow heat loss. Then came vermiculite - porous lightweight pebbles with the look and feel of kitty litter.

Today we still rely on an old-timer, fiberglass batt insulation that's made from spun glass fibers. But if you're looking for a star player on the insulation team, a standout with qualities that other types of insulation can't touch, it's got to be spray foam. More specifically, we're talking about closed-cell polyurethane spray foam.

    A homeowner in Darlington sought to enhance the energy efficiency of their metal workshop and, after reading excellent reviews on Google, opted for an energy evaluation with Carolina Energy Conservation. The evaluation recommended closed-cell spray foam insulation due to its superior thermal resistance and air-sealing properties. This type of foam expands upon application, forming a dense, rigid barrier that effectively fills gaps and prevents heat loss. By choosing closed-cell spray foam, the homeowner aimed to significantly reduce energy consumption, improve temperature control, and prevent moisture issues. Leading to a more comfortable and energy-efficient workspace for years to come.

    A Summerville family sought to make their attic a more comfortable and conditioned space for storage. They came to Carolina Energy Conservation, and after an energy evaluation, the best solution was to install open-cell spray foam insulation. This type of spray foam is great at temperature regulation, keeping the attic cooler in summer and warmer in winter while also reducing energy costs. Open-cell spray foam works by expanding to fill gaps and create a thermal barrier, which greatly improves comfort by reducing drafts and maintaining a consistent temperature. With the spray foam installed, the attic will now be a stable environment, and their home will be more energy efficient for years to come.

    A homeowner in Summerville discovered Carolina Energy Conservation at the Charleston Expo event and wanted to improve their home's comfort and energy efficiency. After performing an energy evaluation on their home, the best solution was to remove the old insulation and replace it with open-cell spray foam. This type of insulation is effective at improving energy efficiency due to its high expansion rate, which allows it to fill and seal small gaps and cracks. It helps prevent air leaks, reduces energy consumption and utility costs, and also acts as a barrier to moisture, enhancing indoor comfort. With the insulation in place, their home will be more comfortable and energy-efficient.

Spray foam advantages:

R value: Poly spray foam has a higher R-value per inch than any other commonly used insulation -R-6.2 or higher, depending on the formulation.

Air barrier: Spray foam air-seals and insulates in one step. Its ability to expand and fill gaps and cracks make it an ideal air-sealing material, and it stays in place because of its super-adhesive qualities. Spray foam is often spot-applied as an air-sealing treatment prior to filling an attic with blow-in insulation. But when applied in more generous amounts, it can eliminate the need for other types of insulation.

Waterproof: Moisture will soak its way through fiberglass and cellulose insulation, but polyurethane spray foam stops it cold. Its closed cell structure means that water can't migrate from one tiny cell or bubble to a neighboring one.

Foolproof: Did you know that a void (missing insulation) of just 5% of an insulated area can diminish overall insulation performance by as much as 50%? It's very difficult to install fiberglass insulation perfectly, so voids are not uncommon. But spray foam's expanding, super-sticky characteristics just about eliminate the possibility of voids. And once the foam cures, it's not going to settle or shift like fiberglass or cellulose can.

There are two basic types of spray foam insulation:

1-part foam: You've seen and probably used this type of spray foam, which comes in pressurized cans that are sold at home centers and hardware stores under brand names like GREAT STUFF™. This single-component foam is super-sticky, and expands at different rates (depending on the type you buy) immediately after application. Since it seals gaps as well as insulates, this product is often referred to as an "insulating foam sealant."

2-part foam: To insulate an entire basement or attic with spray foam, contractors use 2-part polyurethane foam that comes in a pair of pressurized metal containers. When both components (resin and a catalyst) are mixed together at the nozzle, a foaming chemical reaction takes place that causes the material to expand.

Spray foam can be troublesome to apply by yourself

Tricky: It takes experience to get the feel of applying spray foam, especially two-part foams. With their different expansion rates and other qualities, they prove difficult for someone without experience to get the most of this material. For example, a high-expanding foam will damage a door or window jamb, but our training and experience can prevent this from happening.

Oftentimes, spray foam can also be wasted and get messy -- but our fully trained specialists know how to get the job done well the first time! 

Temperature sensitive: Cold temperatures affect the chemistry that causes the foaming action. It's critical to keep spray foam cans or two-part foam canisters within a specific temperature range for successful application.
