Calgary Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation has become the answer to insulating difficult to access residential spaces that traditional insulation methods often fail to address. These can include joist ends, rim-joists, small surface areas, frost walls where multiple tie-ins are required, and other hard to reach spaces. Anthony Insulation offers spray foam insulation which is a fantastic option for keeping your home energy efficient and well protected year round! Prior to analyzing your house to help you determine if spray foam insulation is the right product for you, our Calgary insulation contractors ask that you conduct a thorough “spray foam insulation inspection”:
- Full access to the areas that require spray foam insulation. All cladding must be removed so the entire surface areas are visible.
- A common request is for Anthony Insulation to open up walls or to remove cladding. As much as we would like to help, our contractors are professional insulators and do not possess the resources or tools necessary to perform these services. If you require general contracting services we suggest consulting the BBB list of accredited home renovation companies. Click here for more information.
- Any and all moisture issues must be addressed on site prior to considering spray foam insulation as it is not a solution to seal over water damaged areas, especially if the source has not been resolved. If our spray foam insulation is installed on a wet surface it will be prone to de-laminate.
During their initial in-home visit, our Calgary insulation experts will discuss the advantages of our spray foam insulation material with you in detail. Our company offers two styles of spray foam insulation, each with their own benefits. Open cell (also known as half-pound foam) spray foam insulation is Anthony Insulation for tight spaces due to its expansion characteristics, and it possesses superior sound proofing attributes and is a very cost effective option. Close cell (also known as two-pound foam) has a higher R-value per depth inch with a minimum 2” depth application which will seal all penetrations and provide a superior attic vapor barrier. Once you have made your choice, our Calgary insulation contractors ask that you complete the following “spray foam insulation installation to-do list”:
- Your premises must be vacated for 24 hours after our spray foam insulation is applied to ensure proper off-gassing. Please take into account this health and safety protocol when considering the viability of your project.
- The areas that are to receive the spray foam insulation must be completely clear of all loose particles. The foam agent is sprayed at a very high rate of speed, so any dust or debris must be clear of the vicinity to ensure the safety and quality of the installation process.
- All spray foam insulation must be covered by an approved thermal barrier such as drywall or an approved thermal fiber such as Hibar.
