What problem can Spray Foam help you solve?

Spray Foam Insulation in Clarksville, TN

Tennessee is known for its mild winters and breathtaking winter scenes. But mild does not mean warm. Many local homeowners and builders think their home or building is winter ready, but chances are they’re wrong. Many homes and buildings in the Clarksville area are not insulated properly and are not ready for the winter chill.

Insulation is an important piece to keeping your home or building warm and its occupants comfortable during a long winter season. There are many types of effective insulation to use but spray foam insulation is an ideal two-in-one insulation solution.

What is Spray Foam Insulation?

Spray foam insulation is a dual-acting product that insulates and seals air leaks with one product. As your home or building loses valuable heat in the winter and cool air in the summer through gaps in places like the attic, windows, roof, and basement, spray foam insulation fills in those gaps to keep your home or building comfortable throughout the year. It is sprayed as a liquid and quickly expands to fill the space, creating an air barrier and insulator all in one step. It sticks to everything it is applied to, making it ideal for small and hard-to-reach places.

Spray foam differs from fiberglass and cellulose insulation by adding R-value and sealing air leaks in one step. While air sealing can be added to a fiberglass or cellulose insulation project, spray foam insulation accomplishes both in one pass to help save energy and money.

Benefits of Spray Foam

There are many benefits to using spray foam insulation in your home or building:

Energy and Cost Savings

Spray foam can reduce your cooling and heating bills by giving your HVAC system a rest. Conditioned or heated air is prevented from leaving your home, which allows your HVAC system to run less frequently.

Durability

Spray foam does not shrink, sag, or settle, and sticks to most materials including masonry, cement, metal studs, wood studs, and rooflines.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Spray foam seals penetration points, preventing pollen and other allergens from entering your home or building.

Noise Reduction

Spray foam seals the cracks that noise travels through, minimizing sounds from between rooms and outside.

Controls Moisture

Spray foam does not absorb moisture and prevents mold and water damage, especially during the rainy season.

Types of Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam comes in two forms: open-cell and closed-cell. Both types of spray foam insulate and air seal in one but are also different in many ways. When applied, the cells (bubbles) in open-cell spray foam insulation remain open while the cells in closed-cell spray foam remain closed, resulting in a more rigid product and a higher R-value. Other benefits of open-cell and closed-cell spray foam include:

Open-Cell Spray Foam

  • Less dense than closed-cell spray foam
  • Softer and more flexible
  • Dampens sounds, vapor permeable, eliminates air infiltration
  • Lower R-value (insulating power of insulation)
  • Expands to 100-120 times its size

Closed-Cell Spray Foam

  • More dense than open-cell spray foam
  • More rigid and heavier, providing structural reinforcement to your home or building during storms
  • Higher R-value
  • Expands up to 33 times its size
  • Helps protect against air, thermal, water, and vapor

Best Places to Apply Spray Foam

Spray foam insulation is frequently used to insulate new construction, but can easily be used in remodeling projects and existing homes. It is ideal for open attics, basement box sills, conditioned crawl spaces, and open wall cavities. This form of expanding foam insulation can be used in nearly any insulation project.
