Green Earth Spray Foam
A well-insulated home is one of the most important investments you can make. Not only does good insulation prevent high energy bills, but it also helps you to keep your homes comfortable year-round, without the need for expensive heating or air conditioning systems. Traditional insulators like fiberglass and cellulose offer decent insulating value, but spray foam is a superior option in terms of thermal performance and moisture control. Green Earth Spray Foam specializes in installing spray foam insulation for residential and commercial properties. Their services include spray foam attic encapsulation and spray foam wall insulation in homes and business across the greater Decatur area.
The Difference Between Open and Closed Foam Insulation
Foam insulation in Atlanta, GA is a polyurethane product that is applied by hand or by machine. It is formed by reacting isocyanate and polyol resin together, and it expands up to 30-60 times its liquid volume once it’s sprayed in place. This expansion allows the insulator to fill in spaces and crevices that would otherwise be difficult to insulate with other products.
The resulting insulator is strong, flexible, and durable, providing excellent performance in both new construction and retrofit applications. Foam insulation resists the transfer of heat by conduction and convection, and it reduces drafts and energy loss. It also has soundproofing qualities that ensure a quieter indoor environment.
The Green Earth Spray Foam team uses a Genie boom lift to speed up the spraying process, making it a more efficient and cost-effective solution for their clients. Green Earth’s technicians are highly trained and experienced, and they use advanced safety equipment to protect themselves while working with spray foam. While the insulation is curing, it releases a gas that can cause blurred vision and difficulty breathing. This is a common side effect of all spray foams, but the Green Earth team only uses an eco-friendly blowing agent that’s free of CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs, called Ecomate.
