Kansas Spray Foam Insulation
While you may not think about it every day, having the right home insulation is critical. Insulation plays a significant role in keeping the temperature of a home constant. That translates to lower energy expenses and a more pleasant living environment.
In an urban environment like Wichita, good insulation is essential for any house or commercial business, especially one that is located in a historic neighborhood like Wichita. The city environment can impact a smaller area, creating micro-environmental issues such as stronger winds and warmer temperatures than the surrounding region. There are several types of insulation that can be used for exterior walls, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Spray foam insulation is one of the most popular choices when it comes to insulating a home or business, owing to its effectiveness and ease of application.

What is Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam insulation is a type of insulation that is sprayed onto surfaces to insulate and protect them. It is made up of two components: a polymer resin and a foaming agent. When the two are combined, they create a foam that is sprayed onto the surface to be insulated. spray foam insulation is a great choice for many reasons:
-It is effective at preventing heat loss, which can save you money on your energy bills
-It can help improve the comfort of your home or business by trapping heat in during the winter and keeping cool air in during the summer
-It is an effective way to insulate irregularly shaped spaces, such as attics and crawlspaces
-It can help protect your home or business from moisture damage and pests
-It is a green product that is made from recycled materials

Spray Foam Insulation for the Roof
Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) may be used over a range of traditional roofing materials, including concrete, wood, steel, and most current roofs. Roof removal and landfill costs are saved as well as being more ecologically friendly than other alternatives. Spray foam roofing installers may spray-apply a tapered roof system with the foam, eliminating the need for expensive tapered insulation systems. The cants and vertical wall terminations are also sprayed on to make them an integral part of the roof system and to reduce additional component expenses and flashing materials. Spray foam roofs may be built in a short amount of time and cause less interruption than other roofing materials.
Open-Cell Spray Foam or Closed-Cell Spray Foam?
There are two types of spray foam insulation: open-cell spray foam and closed-cell spray foam. Open-cell spray foam is less dense and is most often used for interior applications such as attics and crawlspaces. Closed-cell spray foam is denser and is most often used for exterior applications such as walls and roofs.

SPRAY FOAM FOR ATTIC SPACES
ATTIC INSULATION IN YOUR HOME
In attics, spray foam insulation can be installed in two ways: open-cell and closed-cell.
Open-cell spray foam has a lower R-value per inch but a higher R-value per pound than closed-cell spray foam. Because of this, open-cell foam is often used as attic insulation in areas where it is difficult to achieve the desired R-value with closed-cell spray foam.
Closed-cell spray foam, on the other hand, has a higher R-value per inch but a lower R-value per pound. This makes it more expensive than open-cell spray foam, but it is also more effective at creating a barrier against air and moisture infiltration.
Both types of spray foam insulation are installed by spraying the material into the desired area and then allowing it to expand and harden. Once it is dry, spray foam insulation creates a solid, seamless barrier that will protect your home from drafts, pests, and moisture damage.
Spray polyurethane foam can be used in two different ways to insulate your attic and protect your property from the weather and moisture-related damage.
Building Science (The Traditional Way)
Attic Floor Spray Foam Insulation Application (Through a Vented Attic)
The technique of spray foam employed in the attic is often determined by your builder/architect’s principles and principles of construction. In a conventional vented attic environment, insulation is used on the attic floor to insulate the ceiling from seasonal cold and/or heat. Sprayers are also utilized to insulate the attic between the floor joists, where cellulose and fiberglass insulation is normally used. Spray foam is also applied to the rest of the attic, but no insulation is put on any other areas. The spray foam will expand and fill any gaps in the joists, providing an air-sealing barrier.
The vented attic space is often left uninsulated to allow hot air to escape in the summer months and cold air to enter in the winter months. This results in increased energy costs as your HVAC system has to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home.
In many cases, spray foam can be installed in a vented attic without having to make any changes to the existing vents. The installer will spray the foam around the vents, creating a seal that still allows air to flow freely.
Some builders/architects are now recommending spray foam insulation be applied to the attic floor in an unvented attic space.
An unvented attic is one where the roof sheathing and roofing membranes are airtight, preventing the movement of warm, moist air into the attic from inside the conditioned living space. In winter, this warm, moist air will condense on the cold attic framing and insulation, leading to mold and mildew growth as well as ice dams.
In an unvented attic, spray foam is applied to all surfaces of the attic – including the roof rafters and ceiling joists. This creates an airtight seal that helps keep your home comfortable and prevents moisture-related damage.
Spray foam is also an effective way to soundproof a room. The spray foam will fill any gaps in the framing, creating a barrier that absorbs sound. This can be especially beneficial if you live in a multi-unit building or if your home is located near a busy street.
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
-Gutter inspections for issue detection and repairs
There are many benefits to spray foam insulation, including:
-Reduced energy costs: spray foam insulation creates an airtight seal that helps keep your home comfortable year-round, reducing your reliance on your HVAC system and saving you money on your energy bills. simply said it saves you on heating and cooling costs and energy efficiency.
-Improved indoor air quality: by sealing off your attic from the rest of your home, spray foam insulation prevents the movement of dust, pollen, and other allergens. It also helps keep moisture and humidity under control, preventing the growth of mold and mildew.
-Reduced noise: spray foam insulation is an effective way to soundproof a room, making it quieter and more peaceful.
-Increased home value: spray foam insulation can increase the resale value of your home by making it more energy-efficient and comfortable.
-Improved racking strength: spray foam insulation provides a thermal break that helps prevent the transfer of heat and cold, making your home more resistant to weathering and damage with a vapor barrier.
-Seal Air Leaks (air leakage) and Seals Gaps create energy savings and energy efficiency.
Spray Foam Insulation for Crawl Spaces
Even if you have batt insulation installed, rectangular holes that go through oval or round vents in your crawl space are atypical and aggravating problems for homeowners. Batt insulation, like any other type of insulation, is unable to create a vapor/air barrier and so cannot prevent contaminated, warm, or cold air from infiltrating your house through the crawl space.
One popular and effective solution to this problem is spray foam insulation. Rectangular holes can easily be filled in with spray foam, and the tight seal it creates will stop air infiltration and thermal bridging. Foam insulation is also an effective moisture barrier and insect deterrent, making it a good choice for homeowners concerned about pests or water damage.

Concrete driveway care is frequently neglected, which can lead to costly and time-consuming repairs. Keeping a firm base of operations can prevent sinking, cracking, and the need to replace concrete driveways, as well as eliminating hazardous situations and improving the look of your home or business.
Concrete walkways that are sunken suffer from soil erosion each year, as the lower concrete slab collects water, causing the soil between and beneath the concrete slabs to erode. One winter-summer cycle’s freeze and thaw are enough to shift and fracture entire concrete sidewalk slabs.

Garage flooring typically sinks and becomes uneven as a result of a variety of causes over time. However, one portion of a floor may fracture and settle when the underlying soils shrink, sink, or wash away. The soils beneath the concrete slab will expand, causing it to lift or “heave.” Concrete garage floors can also raise or drop on their own. Our specialists will recommend the best course of action for your situation based on their experience.
