Getting Lx5 Insulators installed is one of the best investments you can make in your home or commercial building. It prevents drafts, moisture condensation and mold growth while reducing energy consumption and heating and cooling costs. It is also an environmentally friendly product since it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and embodied energy.
Compared to fiberglass or cellulose, spray foam insulation has a higher R-value and can reduce energy costs up to 48%. The high R-value is due to the small pockets that make it hard for heat energy and sound waves to pass through. It also has superior air seal properties, which eliminate air leaks and keep heated and cooled air in your home during the winter and summer.
Energy Efficiency with Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam is made from 2 types of composite materials, polyurethane and isocyanate. The 2 materials are sprayed at the same time into a space that needs to be insulated and they chemically react together and expand, forming an insulation barrier that closes the nooks and crannies that waste energy and cause high energy bills.
A professional installer will use the right equipment to ensure consistent coverage and proper expansion across an entire project. This is important, especially when working with a closed-cell spray foam that requires a special blowing agent to expand. The right blowing agent will use lower GWP chemicals, like HFOs, which have a smaller environmental footprint than the more traditional HCFCs.
During the hot North Carolina summer and cold winter, your HVAC system will be running more often to maintain an even temperature throughout your home. But with spray foam, you may find more days that your system doesn’t need to run at all. This will save you money on utility bills and prevent your system from overworking.
