Spray Foam Insulation

​Insulation has been practiced, tested, improved and revised for generations since the main objective is to secure the residence and workplace from climate changes. Spray foam insulation dates back to the 1940’s, especially after Otto Bayer invented polyurethane; a dry foam material created by mixing different chemicals. The two main chemicals are isocyanate and polyol resin that are extremely dangerous if applied without using appropriate PPEs. When the above materials are sprayed on the wall or attic, the quickly react with each other and expand up to 60 times their original volume.
​
The technique remained limited to airplane insulation and had to go through several developments before finally it was commercialized for building insulation. At present, the spray foam insulation technique offers the best thermal insulating value, along with many other benefits you’ll see below. 

Alternatives to Spray Foam Insulation

​Different methods have been used for attic and wall insulation Portland and they’re probably more cost-effective in terms of installation. Since we have spent years in this business, Portland Spray Foam Insulation has the knowledge, skills, and expertise of all the insulation techniques, including:

Fiberglass Insulation

​​Commonly known as Batt and Roll Insulation, fiberglass insulation Portland is by far the most cost-effective, featuring rolls or batts of fiberglass. Although there are rolls of mineral, plastic fiber, and natural fiber but fiberglass is more common because of the ease of availability. It can be applied in unfinished walls, floors, and ceilings and is fitted between beams and joists. However, fiberglass has poor weathering properties. It is vulnerable against condensation or roof leaks and accumulates moss and bacteria with time. 

Cellulose Insulation

Made of recycled paper or denim, cellulose insulation Portland is the oldest insulation technique that can be applied in two ways; loose-fill or blown-in. The good side is, cellulose insulation is quite cheap and it can be applied to old and new buildings alike. The downside of the cellulose insulation is, it simply doesn’t fulfill modern-day home needs, such as energy-saving, health and hygiene, fire protection, and much more.  So, going for this technique, whether loose-fill or blown insulation Portland, is absolutely your call.

Why Spray Foam Insulation is Better than Other Methods

Spray foam insulation may look expensive initially, but when it offers far more benefits that’ll gradually reduce the cost of installation over time, and it will keep on decreasing. Here’s why you should be thinking of spray insulation Portland.

The R-Value: Spray foam insulation Portland offers the highest R-value. Every insulation material, whether spray foam, fiberglass, cellulose, natural fiber, etc. has a typical R-value which indicates towards its potential to resist weathering. Every location and region has a different R-value based on its geographical factors. So, the R-value is also helpful in understanding which type of material is best suited for your needs.
​
For example, Portland, Oregon is located in zone 4 where R-value for attic lies in the range of R38 - R60 while for floors, it is R25 – R30. You need to choose the material that meets your requirements with less possible thickness. Spray Foam insulation offers up to R-6.7 per inch while blown-in fiberglass falls second with R-3 per inch. 

​Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

R-value is the best indicator of determining the right insulation material, but here are a few good reasons why spray foam insulation Portland should be your pick.

Energy-Efficiency

​Today’s modern homes and workplaces follow energy-efficiency trends where insulation has a key role to play. Smart builders and constructors know that with spray foam insulation, they might be investing a bit more, but it’ll pay them back big time. And that’s quite true, as in most cases, spray foam insulation saves up to 30% of the energy expenses. With professional attic and wall insulation owners don’t have to rely on air conditioners or heaters to keep their indoors comfortable

​Decreased Maintenance Cost

Not just energy bills, with professional crawl-space insulation Portland, you can reduce your home-maintenance cost as well. Spray foam settles into the deepest and the smallest holes of your walls and attic. If applied in places where heat furnace, ducts and plumbing fixtures are located, it simply conceals the space and offers no air infiltration whatsoever. This, in turn, helps in less air leakage, water leakage, broken or faulty electrical wiring, etc.

Building’s Longevity

Spray foam insulation also helps in the building’s longevity. With no space for air to penetrate through walls, attics or floors, there will be no room for moss buildup underneath the attics, even exteriors of your home or office. Your home interior can maintain its color and texture for as long as you want. Professionally insulated commercial spaces will be free from bacteria or pest buildup so, there will be less requirement of in-house fumigation.

Healthy Atmosphere

Closed spaces with improper insulation are birthplaces of bacteria, moss and viral diseases. Plus, non-professional insulation or the lack of insulation has one more issue that is usually associated with old buildings – the noise issue. That means, spray foam doesn’t only stop bacteria and moss buildup, it also offers sound proof insulation to protect you from noise pollution.
​
Considering that Portland Spray Foam Insulation offers the best solution that can last for more than 80 years, you can keep your home safe for at least three generations. Even after 80 years, the building won’t be needing the re-insulation right from scratch.

Spray Foam Needs Professional Handling

​Unlike fiberglass insulation or (to some extent) cellulose insulation technique, spray foam insulation is by no means a DIY project.
​

• The process involves mixing two chemicals that may be hazardous to human health. Either of the chemicals, if inhaled can cause suffocation, chocked windpipes, nausea or dizziness. You might get hurt in the event of installation or cause damage to other important installations and fixtures.
• Spray foam ingredients are mixed in a particular ratio, and our experts are well-aware of it. Plus, we also consider the R-value to determine how much foam should be applied per inch. Mixing the chemicals unevenly may result in an undesirable compound that may not expand or fit properly on the unfinished walls, or may lose its effectiveness soon. Similarly, applying the foam below the R-value would not give you desired results.
• Insulation experts at Portland Spray Foam Insulation use state-of-the-art equipment that may not be available for DIY projects. Our tools are being calibrated and checked at regular intervals, and we are aware of utilizing them to the best potential. DIY tools and kits don’t guarantee high-quality results.
