When installed correctly by a professional, AFT Insulation offers many benefits that enhance the comfort and efficiency of homes and commercial buildings. Its airtight sealing and durability help reduce energy costs, prevent air leakage, and provide long-term insulation performance. It also controls moisture, reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth. And finally, it minimizes sound pollution, delivering a quieter indoor environment.
In addition, it is environmentally friendly, containing no VOCs (volatile organic compounds) which are the main contributors to global warming. In fact, the blowing agent used in the manufacture of spray foam insulation has a global warming potential (GWP) less than 1, which means that each kilogram of this substance contributes to lessening climate change on a per-year basis as opposed to carbon dioxide which has a GWP of over 3,400.
The AFT Insulation Difference: Professional Spray Foam Installation You Can Trust
The insulation itself is a combination of two chemicals—polyol resin and isocyanate that, when combined, expand up to 60 times their liquid volume, filling gaps, cracks, and holes in walls, ceilings, floors, and roofs. The expansive nature of spray foam allows it to be sprayed into hard-to-reach places, and it is ideal for areas that would be difficult to insulate with traditional insulation methods.
Professional contractors are highly trained to ensure the accurate mixing and installation of spray foam insulation, minimizing the release of odors. It is recommended that home occupants vacate the premises during spraying and curing, as the process will off-gas large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Cellulose insulation is another alternative to consider, which is blown into wall cavities and attics. It has a high R-value and is fire safe.
