Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

On its own, spray foam insulation offers a wide range of benefits for your home. Spray foam insulation is well-known for being one of the most effective insulation materials that provide excellent protection against drafts and leaks. Some of the most notable benefits of spray foam include:

• High R-Value: Spray foam insulation has one of the highest R-values when compared to other options on the market. R-value refers to how well a material can resist heat. The higher the value, the better the insulation. Depending on whether you invest in open-cell or closed-cell insulation, the R-value will range between 3.5 and 7, making it an excellent choice. 
• Long-Lasting: Spray foam insulation is also incredibly long-lasting when compared to options such as cellulose. Most spray foam insulation should last up to 100 years, whereas other options usually last up to 30 years. This means that you will only require one installation in your lifetime. 
• Durable: Spray foam insulation is highly durable by nature. Since it is a liquid-to-solid formulation, it is able to make excellent contact with every surface of your home. It can reach every nook, cranny and corner with the spray application method. Once spray foam dries down, it becomes solid and durable. It is also waterproof and treated with fire retardant. 
• Comfortability: Due to the excellent R-value of spray foam insulation, it is able to effectively reduce drafts and heat loss. This helps contribute to increased comfortability in your home. 
• Energy-Efficient: Since spray foam insulation has a high R-value, it is very effective in preventing heat loss in the winter and preventing heat from entering your home in the summer. This means it is much easier for your thermostat to maintain a consistent temperature in your home. As a result, less energy is required to heat and cool your home, which can help lower your energy bills, 

Why Fireproofing is a Must

If you own any type of property, especially a commercial building, it is essential that you take the necessary precautions to keep your building and its occupants safe. Fireproofing efforts will:

• Help protect structural elements of your building, effectively preventing them from collapsing.
• Allow building occupants more time to escape the building before the building collapses and before the fire spreads.
• Give rescue forces ample time to arrive before the building collapses from fire destruction.
• Protects any valuables in the building from fire for an extended period of time.
• Lower your insurance premiums and liability in the chance of a fire. 

How Fireproofing Enhances Spray Foam Insulation

Having both spray foam insulation and fireproofing offers its own set of potential advantages. Specifically, fireproofing can help enhance the benefits of spray foam insulation. 

Heat-Resistance

The whole purpose of spray foam insulation is to resist heat and maintain a consistent temperature inside your home. Fireproofing works similarly to withstand extremely high temperatures during a fire. This allows fireproofing to help amplify the heat resistance of spray foam insulation, contributing to even more comfortable indoor temperatures. 

Cost-Savings

Another major reason why property owners invest in spray foam insulation is to save money on their energy bills. Improved energy efficiency that comes with having quality insulation both lowers your carbon footprint and energy consumption, leading to cost savings. Cementitious fireproofing also has some cost-saving benefits. Firstly, cementitious fireproofing has a strong r-value, which will contribute to greater energy efficiency and lower energy bills. Additionally, fireproofing will help you save money in the case of a fire. Fireproofing helps protect your building from collapse during a fire. Lowering this risk can help you save money on extensive repairs.

Structural Integrity

One added benefit of spray foam insulation is that it is waterproof and can protect the structural integrity of your building. Spray foam insulation can help protect wooden beams and metal pipes against leaks or water infiltration. Fireproofing also protects structural components against damage and/or failure. Fireproofing protects pipes and beams from burning/melting in a fire. Both used in conjunction with one another will ensure that your building’s structure remains safe and healthy.
