Spray Foam Insulation for Attic Spaces
This application is considered the most effective, by the Spray Foam Industry, the foam is sprayed directly to the underside of your existing roof or new construction roof, between the joists, down around the rim and into the soffit areas, on the gable wall ends, and effectively sealing off and insulating the entire attic space from any air infiltration.
The traditional practice of insulating the underside of the roof in the attic has raised much debate in the building industry because "standard" roofing and design techniques call for the attic to be ventilated in order to reduce moisture problems and heat build-up in the hot summer months.
However, a vented attic situation it will become approximately 130 to 150 degrees in the summer and virtually matches the temperatures of the winters months. There's no reason for your air-conditioning and vent-duct work to have to work in that type of severe conditions. There is also opportunity for moisture to form due to condensation on these appliances.
When you apply spray foam directly to the underside of the roof deck, it now insulates the attic space from the extreme heat that once radiated thorough the hot shingles sheathing and roof. The severe temperatures no longer exist in the attic. In short, the attic now becomes a "conditioned" space of the house that is just as comfortable as any other room in the home.
Sealed Crawl space
A sealed crawl space is an important part of a properly designed home or updating your existing home for energy efficiency. Sealing your crawl space is a key component of moisture management and pollutant reductions that occur in most homes. Extensive research has been completed to support the benefits of a sealed crawl space. We offer a complete sealed crawl space with dehumidification as needed. We cover the floor of your crawl space with mil vapor barrier to eliminate ground moisture infiltration into your home. Crawl space walls and all piers are sealed with closed cell foam, leaving a 3" gap for termite inspection. External ventilation is required for combustion devices located in a sealed crawl space.
