 This
photo shows a rim joist area sprayed with foam. Notice
the lack of gaps or voids in the wall system. Above
the concrete wall is a dryer exhaust vent pipe completely
sealed. The framed wall and header above the window
are completely caulked. |
 This
photo is an example of a typical sprayed wall. A 2x4-framed
wall would have a 3-inch average thickness. A 2x6 wall
would have a 4-inch average thickness. Notice the uniformity
of the foam no matter what the stud cavity depth. |
 Another
wall sprayed with foam. Take note of the tight seal
where the foam is glued to the framing. Any other insulation
product would not achieve this airtight feature. |
 Notice
the foam injected into the hollow cavity where partition
wall meets exterior wall. The electrical outlets are
completely sealed to eliminate potential drafts. |
 Spraying
foam insulation directly on the roof deck sheeting has
become very popular. This method solves a number of
challenging applications like: cathedral ceilings, dormers
and roof systems that are impossible to vent properly.
|
 Conditioned
attics perform very well. The temperature variation
is +/- 10 degrees F from common living space. Roofing
manufacturers are pleased with the more consistent temperature
range and for the most part maintain standard warranty
coverage. Energy trusses are not necessary and the foam
doesn’t compact or trap dangerous moisture. |
 Cupola
areas and tight attic areas are no problem for foam
insulation. |
 Locating
mechanical equipment and ductwork in a conditioned attic
enhances the efficiency significantly over running duct
for long distances through a cold attic. |
 There
is no need to completely fill the stud cavities. Our
goal is to create a monolithic seal. If you keep air
from leaking through the wall cavity, 70% of the insulations
work is completed. |
 Challenging
areas between common living space and cold attics can
be insulated properly wit spray foam insulation. |
 No
air leakage in this wall. Foam acts like an air-barrier.
Once it has cooled to room temperature the product is
inert. It does not shrink, absorb moisture or leak into
your home. |
 Foam
seals cold floor areas below cantilevered fire places. |
 Here,
foam is sprayed directly on roof sheeting over fireplace
framing. |
 This
photo shows how sheeting material is used to cover rigid
foam between the siding and grade level. This option
eliminates the need for water proofing on the outside
and any insulation on the inside of basement walls.
|
 This
photo shows rigid foam sprayed on the outside of a foundation
wall. This application provides a dual purpose. This
product is also used under the concrete floor of the
basement. Creating a thermal barrier on the outside
of the concrete allows the walls and floors to absorb
Energy from the conditioned space and warm to that level. |
 This
photo shows a application for injecting foam into an
existing home. Built in the mid to late 50’s using
Cellotex board insulation, we drilled through that material
and injected foam into the open stud cavities. The air-tightness
and sound reduction greatly increased the energy efficiency
and comfort in this home. |
 Foam
is injected through ¾ inch holes drilled 2 feet
apart. Foam expands in the empty wall cavities. This
process can be completed from the inside also. |
