What is Spray Insulation?
An Insulation system in general slows down heat transfer between the outside environment and the inside space. Heat transfer is a natural phenomenon that we cannot stop from happening, but, we can prepare our space so as not to be negatively impacted by it.
Insulation keeps the heated air in your home stays inside during the winter season. In the same way, it prevents hot air from penetrating your home during summer. This helps your HVAC system work more effectively, with your heater or air conditioning achieving the set temperature faster, as well as maintain it. This results in lower energy consumption and higher energy efficiency, translating to bill savings and more comfortable home.
Now, spray foam insulation adds a high thermal resistance capability to your Dallas home’s building envelope. That is, aside from protecting your home from weathering and corrosion, it keeps it from getting too hot in summer and extra cold during winter.

CompositionSpray insulation is the product of two chemicals reacting with each other. Polyol resin and isocyanates are put in the separate vessels of a spray gun. When ready to use, the spray gun, at the pull of the trigger, mixes these chemicals on the nozzle as you apply it on surfaces and gaps.
The resulting material resembles a liquid foam, hence, the term “spray foam”. This material hardens eventually, creating a layer of thick insulation. |

Properties and ApplicationsThere are actually two types of spray foam insulation for Dallas residents. Each type also has unique properties, which makes spray foam insulation dynamic to work with different applications. Overall, spray foam insulation provides a high thermal resistance, or R-value, among other insulation types available for Dallas property owners.
The open-cell type expands about 30 to 60 times its original volume before it hardens. This property allows it to be an excellent air sealant, aside from being insulation. The fluid spray foam can flow through and squeeze in-between gaps, spaces, and hard-to-reach areas. As it expands, it seals these areas well, providing the best coverage. This makes it an excellent choice for residential insulation. The open cell type spray foam insulation offers high R-values of about R-3.5 per inch. This is significantly high compared with other insulation types available for Dallas property owners. But if you need a higher value than this, then the closed-cell type is your best option. The closed-cell type spray foam insulation is the top-of-mind choice when it comes to commercial insulation. This is because of its stellar R-value of up to R-7 per inch. Unlike open-cell, closed-cell does not expand but is denser and more moisture-resistant. This makes closed-cell spray foam insulation more resilient from corrosion, weathering, and heat, which are more prevalent in Dallas commercial areas, industrial premises, and even outdoors. This type is also generally more durable, thus, has a longer lifetime. |
Advantages
Spray foam insulation is considered a Dallas investment. Not only that it is an outstanding thermal resistance barrier, but it also provides a lot of benefits when it comes to savings, health, and environmental impact.
|
High thermal resistance per square areaSince spray foam insulation already has a high R-value, you do not need to apply as much to achieve the requirement in your area in Dallas. This translates to faster installation and less material expense.
FlexibleYou can use spray foam insulation almost anywhere in your Dallas building envelope. And what's great about it is it can penetrate even the hard-to-access spaces like pipe fittings, wall cavities, and the like.
You can also use it both indoors (open-cell) and outdoors (closed-cell). And since it is fluid at the onset of application and expands its size eventually, you can create a custom-fit thickness depending on the requirements. You can also create continuous insulation across your home without worrying about missing gaps. |
|
DurableHardened spray foam insulation is one durable material that fits your Dallas home or building. It does not sag and easily removed. It also does not settle like cellulose insulation fibers. It also retains its R-value longer than other insulation materials.
It seals your home wellSince it is fluid initially and also expands before it hardens, it can seal those hard-to-reach spaces and even the smallest holes and gaps in your home to keep the conditioned air inside unaffected by the temperature outside.
CostSpray foam insulation is not among the affordable options for Dallas property owners. It costs around $2,000, covering the materials and labor costs. But it can still depend on a lot of factors like coverage area, brands of materials, how labor-intensive it is, etc.

Lifetime and MaintenanceSpray foam insulation is essentially easy to maintain and requires little to no maintenance throughout its lifetime. It can also last as long as your Dallas home’s life, which makes it a great investment. It can even pay itself in several years, with all the bill savings and other savings from helping your HVAC system’s operation.
RemovalSpray foam insulation removal requires professional insulation contractors in Dallas. It is challenging to do this job and would need the use of scraping tools and chemicals.

Home Insulation
Putting a premium on your home insulation can bring a lot of benefits for you and your family. It ensures your health, safety, and comfort, as well as helps shave your electricity bills.
|
ChallengesThe building envelope is composed of elements that protect your home from weathering, climate, and other elements like heat, rain, and snow. The building envelope comprises the walls, floor, roof, windows, and doors. However, the building envelope itself is not resistant to heat flow. As your home allows heat flow, it will be challenging for it to stay comfortable. Your HVAC system will have a hard time operating normally, causing it to consume more energy resulting in high electricity bills. Consequently, you will also be shelling even more money to repair overworked heaters or air conditioning, or worst, even buy new ones more frequently.
In the same way, consuming more energy and wasting a lot of it contribute to the worsening effects of carbon emissions. This is because the conditioned air your heater or air conditioning creates escape your home through under-insulated spaces. Meanwhile, you are also subjecting yourself to certain health risks. Too much moisture can cause mold and mildew growth, arising from vapor penetrating your home from the outside. These challenges are the cause of insulation problems. And your choice of insulation is the key to solving them either temporarily or permanently (the best course). |
|
SolutionsAside from investing in a solid HVAC system that utilizes energy-efficient technologies, a longer-lasting and more permanent solution is having your home insulated. And your choice of insulation material is the key to maximizing its benefits for your home.
For Dallas residents and property owners, spray foam insulation is one of the best options in the market. It is not the most affordable solution, but it provides more ways for you to save on other costs in the long run, with its benefits extending to your HVAC system as well. Spray foam insulation is a dynamic and flexible solution that can provide the right amount of thermal resistance that your Dallas home needs. In the same way, it also seals your space, filters your air, and requires less maintenance on your end. |

Attic insulationWarm air rises. Thus, in winter, the heated air inside your home tends to go up to your attic. If it happens to be under-insulated, the heated air will just escape through it.
Meanwhile in summer, since your roof directly receives heat from the sun as its source, heat travels through it with the process called radiation. In turn, the adjacent elements in your home, or the rest that connects to it like the attic, also receive heat through other heat flow processes called conduction and convection. This also results to heat penetrating your home and heating it more, resulting in extra hot inside space. As you see, the attic is one of the passageways of heat in your Dallas home. Thus, it is only apt that you provide it with an excellent insulation system. And spray foam insulation is the right choice. Spray foam can cling onto beams, trusses in the roof, as well as on attic floors. It also effectively seals those gaps in between duct pipes in your attic. It can also act as a vapor barrier in the roof, and itself, it is radiation, convection, and conduction barrier in one. |

Crawl space insulationThe earth beneath your home also acts as a conduit of heat flow. You can tell if floors aren't insulated when you feel them extra cold in their bare form. The carpeting may add insulation, but it does not completely solve energy efficiency issues unlike with insulation.
A crawlspace itself provides additional ventilation for your home. It circulates the air beneath and serves as a leeway between the earth's ground and your floor. Adding insulation to it further prevents heat penetration, as well as prevents the cold conditioned air in your home to sink it, which also results in energy loss. Spray foam insulation is great to use as crawl space insulation in your Dallas home. It can also creep in-between floor tiles or wood gaps, as well as the gaps between the floors and the walls. Aside from slowing down heat flow, it also seals the gaps where air can escape or pass. |
|
Wall insulationNow, your wall might be angled from the heat source, but it is still vulnerable to heat transfer. Mostly, insulation is placed inside the wall cavities while the construction is still ongoing. Therefore, you can assume that the existing insulation is as old as your home.
If you happen to live in an old home, chances are, your insulation is already outdated. And since it is sandwiched inside the cavities, it will be hard to replace it with new insulation or add a new one without breaking the drywall open. The advantage of using spray foam insulation is that it can be installed without breaking the dry walls of your Dallas home. Since it is fluid, it can penetrate a decent-sized hole and fill the cavities. And because it also expands, it can completely fill the cavities, which refrains cold drafts from happening. Hardened spray foam also does not settle over time, unlike when you use cellulose fibers. |
Commercial Insulation
Spray foam insulation is more popular and cost-effective to use as industrial or commercial insulation in Dallas. This is because of its R-value and durability, which are both outstanding.
|
ChallengesWhen it comes to commercial spaces, you are dealing with high foot traffic, or machinery and different types of office equipment that heat up, therefore, your thermal resistance requirements are significantly higher. Unless you address these, you will end up with high electricity bills, which can take a toll on your operating expenses.
SolutionCommercial insulation needs to have the right thermal resistance value to effectively slow down all types of heat flow methods. This way, you can increase your building’s energy efficiency, which can impact its carbon emission by reducing it significantly.

Hardcore insulationSpray foam insulation is the most recommended commercial insulation for Dallas properties. It offers a high R-value, as well as durability and ruggedness fit for the environmental conditions in commercial areas.
The businesses and industrial structures in Dallas can also reap maximum cost benefits out of spray foam insulation. Not only you are saving a lot in terms of electricity bills, but you also prolong the life of your machinery and equipment by keeping them in a temperature-regulated environment. The same goes for your heating and cooling units. Sound Proof InsulationAnother unique property of spray foam insulation is its capability to mask noise from the outside. Though it cannot replace a real soundproofing system in this aspect, it can still refrain noise to a certain extent from penetrating your office.
Thus, Dallas properties utilizing spray foam insulation reap additional benefits out of its sound proof insulation. |
