Understanding Insulation
|
Before you contact us for insulation installation, we’d like to explain what insulation is and why you need it. Understanding what it does will help you make informed decisions about residential or commercial insulation projects.
Insulation limits air movement so that air treated by your HVAC systems stays inside and the cold or hot outside air with irritants and pollution stays out. It’s material installed in spaces in a structure like between the inner and outer walls, the floor and basement, ceilings and attics, or between attics and roofs. Insulation contractors install wall insulation, crawlspace insulation, and attic insulation. An HVAC system controls the temperature and filters pollutants and irritants from the air. Having the best insulation, spray foam insulation, in your San Antonio, TX house or office means your system doesn’t work as hard. In addition to preventing air movement, some insulation also provides sound insulation, so you hear less of your neighbor’s music. Some also prevent pests from entering. Unlike fiberglass or cellulose, spray foam insulation is water-resistant and can add structural strength to a building, enabling it to withstand storms and high winds. Insulation contractors install insulation to save you money on your heating and air conditioning bills and improve air quality which reduces illness and allergies. Spray Foam Insulation in your San Antonio, TX home or business, makes it stronger, more energy-efficient, healthier, and more comfortable. |
Why Do We Recommend Spray Foam Insulation?
While insulation contractors can install other insulation materials like fiberglass or cellulose and use different installation processes like blown-in or roll or batting installation, at San Antonio Spray Foam Insulation, we recommend spray foam for your house or business in San Antonio, TX.
The Eight Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation:
The Eight Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation:
|
1. Best Insulating AbilityYou want the insulation that works best, prevents air movement best. Spray foam and other insulation insulate (prevent air movement) better than other materials. Insulation ability is measured and rated in the building industry as R-value* or R-Factor. The number assigned to the insulation is per inch of material. The higher the R-value, the better cooled or heated air stays in, and untreated hot or cold air stays out. Spray Foam insulates best partly because of how we install it. We use machines called reactors to spray two liquids simultaneously. The liquids react with one another and expand into an insulating foam that completely fills a space. The liquids and then foam material seals cracks and crevices, contractors create and leave during construction. The better openings and holes are filled, the less air can move. Spray foam insulation is the best insulation for unusually shaped spaces in your San Antonio, TX home or business. Spraying liquid is much easier than fitting other insulation types into skylights and intricate architectural features.
*R-Value The building industry measures an insulation’s effectiveness by its R-value or R-Factor. R is for resistance, and the R number assigned to a material tells you how well the insulation resists air movement. Air movement causes heat movement or loss. R-factors or value numbers are per inch of insulation. Thicker insulation provides higher resistance to air movement. Spray foam insulation has a higher R-factor per inch than many other insulations |
|
2. Faster Insulation InstallationSan Antonio Spray Foam Insulation teams usually finish a San Antonio, TX residential installation in one day. If there’s a lot of old insulation to be removed and disposed of, we may need a bit longer, but the spray foam installation itself can be done in an eight-hour workday.
Commercial insulation takes longer and depends on a building’s size and how much clean-up and insulation removal is involved. Once installed, spray foam dries to the touch in a few minutes and completely cures in 24 hours. |
|
3. Longest-LastingOther insulation like fiberglass rolls or batts and blown-in cellulose or fiberglass break down and need to be replaced. Every year, this insulation becomes less effective because it is breaking down. Most insulations aren’t waterproof so water, from rain or plumbing leaks, can accelerate loss. Cellulose insulation, usually pulverized paper, becomes worse than worthless when your roof or plumbing leaks. Cleaning up wet paper is a mess. Foam Insulation installed by San Antonio Spray Foam Insulation will last for as long as your San Antonio, TX home or business building lasts. It never breaks down, and you will never need to replace it. If, for some reason, like high traffic or renovations destroys spray foam insulation, replacing it or adding to it is simple and inexpensive.

4. Waterproof BarrierWater damage from stormy weather or leaky pipes can mean removing and replacing insulation if you have anything but spray foam insulation. The headaches of insulation removal and additional expenses won’t be a problem if you have spray foam in a San Antonio, TX home or building. Cured spray foam insulation foam is waterproof and actually keeps water from getting in from outside or moving within the building. Spray foam insulation in your attic, for example, will help contain roof leaks or condensation, so they don’t come through the ceiling. Changing outside temperatures can cause condensation in attics or basement spaces not treated by your HVAC system. Condensation builds up and drips from the attic to damage your walls and ceilings. San Antonio Spray Foam Insulation can install attic insulation and crawlspace insulation to cut condensation and prevent damaging and costly leaks.

|
5. Improves a Building’s Structural StrengthEveryone knows a solid object is stronger than something hollow. Spray foam insulation fills open ceiling, attic, and wall spaces in your San Antonio, TX home or commercial building.
That makes them more solid, which means they can withstand stormy weather with high winds better than when they had hollow spaces. |
|
6. Repels PestsPests like rats, mice, and insects enter your home through cracks and holes left behind by contractors. Spray foam insulation fills gaps and holes with solid material in a San Antonio, TX structure and blocks pests' usual access.
Blown-in cellulose or batts of fiberglass insulations won’t fill holes or prevent pests from getting into your home. |
|
7. Soundproofing InsulationAll insulation materials buffer sound to some degree, but spray foam insulation does that best. You can block out noisy neighbors or traffic noise by adding spray foam insulation to your San Antonio, TX home.
If your industrial or commercial building is near an airport or loud industrial site, add spray foam insulation to keep your workplace quieter. Foam fills holes and hardens, making walls and ceilings more sound insulated. |
|
8. Increased Property ValueProperty buyers and leasers want well-insulated structures. No one wants to inherit high heating and air conditioning bills. San Antonio summers are hot, and home buyers looking for comfortable indoor temperatures without high utility bills look for good insulation. Business owners also want to buy or lease buildings with comfortable temperatures and healthy air for their employees. Healthy employees mean fewer missed workdays, better morale, and lower insurance premiums. Spray foam insulation lasts longer than any other insulation. It never needs to be replaced which makes your property more desirable. Houses or buildings in San Antonio, TX that are more desirable are worth more. Desirability and demand translate to higher sales prices. The bottom line is that when San Antonio Spray Foam Insulation installs spray foam insulation in your San Antonio, TX home or business, its value increases.

Spray Foam Insulation History
In the 1940s, foam insulation was used to insulate airplanes because it was easy to get the spray everywhere it needed to be. Over the last 75 or 80 years, industry innovators have experimented and improved the spray foam formulas and installation machinery. Because of the improvements, spray foam insulation is today's most popular insulation choice.
Different formulations of spray foam insulation create different densities, and our experts know which foam to use where in your San Antonio, TX home or business. There are three types or densities of spray foam products, open cell, closed cell, and high density.
Different formulations of spray foam insulation create different densities, and our experts know which foam to use where in your San Antonio, TX home or business. There are three types or densities of spray foam products, open cell, closed cell, and high density.
|
Open-cellOpen-cell is the least dense, therefore, slightly more flexible than the other types. Flexibility enables it to tolerate temperature swings and structural expansion and contraction. Open-cell costs the least, and we use it more in residential insulation. It is also the best soundproofing insulation. San Antonio Spray Foam Insulation may recommend open-cell spray foam insulation for you if you live in a high traffic area of San Antonio, TX (or just have noisy neighbors.}
|
|
Closed-cellClosed-cell spray foam insulation has a higher density than open cell and dries harder.
The hard foam is better at adding to a structure’s strength and water resistance. The R-Value is higher in closed-cell than in open cell. |
|
High-densityHigh-density spray foam insulation, of course, has the highest density and is the strongest and most water repellant.
The cost is the highest, and although the R-factor is the highest per inch, our contractors usually reserve high-density spray insulation for roofs and exterior walls of commercial buildings. |
How Much Money Will Installing Spray Foam Insulation Save Me?
Adding or replacing insulation isn’t cheap, but you should recoup the money over time. Utility bills continue to rise, which frustrates homeowners and reduces profits for business owners.
