Spray Foam Insulation: A Smart Investment for Your Property
The unique characteristics of spray foam insulation make it a popular choice for homeowners who want to improve their homes and businesses. However, this type of insulation is not without risks and needs to be installed by trained professionals. Incorrect installation of spray foam insulation can result in a number of issues, some of which are harmful to the environment as well as the health and safety of home or business owners.
For instance, if a contractor applies too much foam, it can block airflow through the walls of a building and reduce its ventilation system. Additionally, the chemicals used in spray foam can be harmful to the lungs and skin. For this reason, it is important to use a certified professional who will follow strict installation practices and only use high-quality products.
Moreover, if the chemicals used to produce spray foam have a high global warming potential (GWP), they can contribute to climate change and accelerate its effects. Fortunately, many spray foam insulation companies are now using low GWP blowing agents. Some examples include BASF Walltite CM01 and Genyk Boreal Nature.
