AccuSeal Spray Foam is an energy-efficient alternative to fiberglass batt insulation and cellulose. It’s a durable solution that fills cracks, crevices and gaps and won’t compress or sag over time. It’s an effective insulator for homes, commercial buildings and pole barns. It’s even more effective than traditional batting in areas around light fixtures, electrical outlets and door frames.
Whether open or closed cell, spray foam insulation uses polyurethane as its base. Two liquid chemical components (isocyanate and polyol resin) undergo a reaction when they meet at the tip of the spray gun, forming a plastic foam solution that seals and insulates at once. This foam is also incredibly dense, so it blocks air movement and prevents heat transfer.
Commercial Spray Foam Insulation for Energy Efficiency
The best type of spray foam for your home depends on your climate zone, budget and project details. Open-cell spray foam is better suited for above-grade projects, while closed-cell is best for below-grade applications.
When selecting your spray foam, always opt for low-GWP blowing agents (or HFOs). These types of foams are more environmentally friendly than traditional alternatives and have a lower carbon footprint.
Before installing spray foam, you must thoroughly clean and prepare the area. Then, a technician will spray the foam from a truck or trailer equipped with high-end rigs. The rigs have sensors to monitor the temperature and application, which helps ensure consistent coverage and expansion. It takes between 8 and 24 hours for the foam to fully cure and expand. During this period, it’s important that you stay away from the home to avoid off-gasing VOCs.
