Safeguard Your Home with Spray Foam Insulation

If any of these is a reality for your home then spray foam insulation would be a great option.

Two Types of Spray Foam Insulation
Open Cell Spray Foam
When dried, open cell spray foam is less effective than closed cell foam insulation. Also open cell spray foam is not known to be an effective moisture or air barrier. Additionally the R-Value for open cell spray foam is far lower than closed cell spray foam.
Closed Cell Spray Foam
Differing from open cell spray foam, closed cell spray foam insulates and provides air barrier after only 1 inch of insulation. This is due to the fact that the bubbles in the insulation stay closed, meaning it will become stiff and provide a greater R-Value. This makes closed cell foam the ideal choice for exterior walls because with a very small amount of space it will give a greater R-Value.As matter of fact closed cell spray foam provides the greatest R-Value per inch amongst all insulation. At Vance Insulation we believe that homes deserve the best recommendations and results, which is why we primarily recommend closed cell spray foam.
Why Should I Have Spray Foam Insulation Installed?
Spray Foam Insulation not only provides the best per inch R-Value or a secure method for sealing air leaks. Additional benefits include:
- Lower Energy Costs – Spray foam insulation is highly energy efficient as it prevents air leaks and drastically increases R-values.
- Decrease Mold Risk – Spray foam insulation does not provide nutrients for mold growth.
- Convenient Installation – Spray foam allows insulation to be placed in hard to reach locations including tight attic or dormers.
- Sound Control – Make rooms quieter and lower noise transfer between floors and neighbors.
- Barrier Against Moisture and Pests – As the air seal occurs with spray foam insulation, any holes or leak points will be blocked. This discourages tiny pests or moisture from causing damage to your home.

How much Attic Insulation is Required Richmond, Williamsburg, and Chesterfield?
It’s important to first know how attic insulation is measured. Insulation in general is judged by R-Value, or a resistance value, and in Virginia is based on where you live. The minimum R-Value for attic insulation can range from a R-38 to a R-49, but the recommended R-Value for most attic insulation is a R-60. Our Insulation Specialists will be able to correctly identify what your current R-Value is in your attic and determine how much attic insulation you will need in order to be efficient and comfortable.
Signs and Symptoms of Insufficient Insulation
Have you ever noticed the second floor of your home is warmer or colder than the first? Maybe you’ve felt the difference in temperature walking from one end of your home to the other. Perhaps you can hear through the walls in your home very easily. These are all signs that your insulation in your home could be insufficient. Believe it or not attic insulation does always retain its R-Value, or resistance value. Over time gravity pulls on your attic insulation and compresses it. This is referred to as settling. As the years progress your insulation will continue to lose its integrity until its effects are extremely minimal.
Time and time again, we at Vance Insulation have seen homeowners concerned about their high power bills and frequent complaints about being too cold or warm in their homes. Did you know that one of the leading ways to solve these problems is by increasing your attic insulation?
