Attic insulation is a flexible, expandable material that conforms to the unique design of the building it is applied to. It can be sprayed into attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists in existing homes as well as into unfinished walls in new construction. The material is sprayed on site from a truck and trailer equipped with a special rig that ensures the foam is mixed properly and applied in the correct thickness.
Its air-sealing quality helps maintain a comfortable temperature indoors year-round without excessively heating and cooling. This reduces the energy used to maintain a comfortable temperature which can save homeowners 20 percent on their utility bills.
The Science Behind Spray Foam Insulation
The cellular nature of the spray foam creates pockets that make it difficult for heat to pass through them. It also makes a good barrier against moisture and vapor, which can be a factor in mold growth and degrading the performance of a home’s materials. Closed-cell spray foam typically qualifies as a vapor retarder, and it is recommended for use in foundations or anywhere a vapor barrier is needed.
A high R-value insulates more effectively than traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation. Meritage applies spray foam to all exterior walls in a house, which creates a sealed thermal envelope that resists the flow of heat in and out of a home, keeping the home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This also improves a home’s acoustics by reducing noise transmission between rooms.
