When spray foam insulation is properly installed in homes and buildings, it stops air leaks and improves indoor air quality. It also helps reduce heating and cooling costs. Many energy companies offer rebates to help pay for home energy upgrades. Georgia Insulation can help homeowners qualify for these rebates and incentives.

Because spray foam expands, it can fill the small gaps and crevices that other insulation materials miss. This makes it an ideal choice for attics, crawl spaces, and basements, where vapor and moisture are common. It also prevents places like attics and crawl spaces from becoming damp, humid environments that require extra dehumidification and air conditioning.

Improving Indoor Air Quality with Georgia Insulation’s Spray Foam Insulation

Choosing an experienced and reliable contractor is essential when installing spray foam insulation. Improper spray foam installation can lead to serious problems, including health and financial burdens down the road. Spray foam contractors must be trained to install the product properly, and they should have access to training and support from the manufacturer of the insulation.

Attic insulation should be blown in using equipment designed specifically for the application, and it should be sealed correctly at the seams. This will help prevent leaking, which can lead to energy loss and mold growth. Additionally, the spray foam should not be in contact with drywall or other porous materials, as it could melt them.

It’s important to understand that spray foam insulation will off-gas large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during both the actual spraying and curing process. As a result, homeowners should vacate the home during spraying and remain away until the curing is complete. It’s also recommended that they use an ERV or HRV system during this time to help mitigate the poor airflow conditions created by spray foam.
