What is spray foam insulation?Spray foam insulation in Biloxi, MS is one of the best forms of insulation that any building owner can choose. This insulation offers many benefits to your structure and helps to make it more comfortable for you and your occupants. Spray foam insulation is designed originally in a liquid form.
It actually is mixed with a second liquid form on the job site. The first chemical is isocyanate and the second one is a poly resin. When these chemicals are properly mixed and sprayed, they will expand 30 to 60 times of their liquid form. |
We Spray Open-cell and Closed-cell Foam
There are actually two different types of spray foam insulation in Biloxi, Mississippi. There are the open cell and the closed cell. Both of these works extremely well to insulate your structure, but each offer different benefits and qualities.
Open CellOpen cell foam insulation is constructed with cells that are not fully closed. This makes the insulation softer and more flexible. It will actually expand more than the closed cell.
With the higher expansion rate, this makes the ultimate sound barrier. Many times, the open cell foam is used on the interior between the walls. |
Closed CellClosed cell spray foam insulation has been created with the cells that are completely closed. This creates a more dense and solid insulation. This insulation is not as flexible and does not expand as much as the open cell. With the rigidness that is offers, this insulation creates a moisture barrier and will help to prevent mold inside of your building. This is often used on the exterior walls, ceiling, roofing and in crawl spaces in a structure.

Other Precautions
As the spray foam insulation in Biloxi, MS starts to cure, there will be a process that occurs called off-gassing. This is the release of the chemicals as the compound goes from a liquid type form to a solid form. This will emit the chemicals and their odor into the premises of your structure. How long will this process last? It does vary depending upon the manufacturer of the product that is used. It is wise to at least stay out of the structure without protective gear for at least 24 hours. This gives the insulation time to cure and stop the off-gassing process. It is wise to follow the advice of your spray foam specialists and let them give you the okay to enter into the premises again. As a professional we know our product and the amount that had to be sprayed inside of your structure. We know all of the situations that can cause the time to vary and as always will have your best interest in mind.
Is spray foam safe?Yes, spray foam insulation in Biloxi, Mississippi is a very safe form of insulation for your structure once the curing and off-gassing process is complete. In fact, with the barrier that it forms, it helps to keep the air quality inside of your structure cleaner and healthier for the occupants inside. People with allergies or other breathing issues now have a way to have cleaner air inside of their home. Many times, we do not realize how many chemicals such as radon, other chemicals that get in the air can come inside of your structure when it is not insulated properly. This can also mean less time spent dusting to keep the interior clean and comfortable.

What is R-Value
R-Value is the term that is used to measure the effectiveness of insulation to stop the energy loss of your structure through means of conduction. R-Value is the only means of measurement for insulation in regulated building codes. Each type of insulation has been tested and given an R-Value rating so that you and your contractor will know that your insulation has met the required codes for your area. The R-Value requirements will vary from different areas depending upon the weather elements. It is extremely important to meet these code requirements. If they are not met many areas will not issue you your occupancy permit for your structure. Spray foam insulation in Biloxi, MS offers the highest R-Value ratings in the insulation standards.
How Does Spray Foam Measure UpSince spray foam insulation in Biloxi, Mississippi offers the highest ratings, that could mean a lot for you. One of the reasons it offers a higher rating, is because of the seal that it offers to your structure. This could mean that you would not need to pay for as much insulation as you would if you were having a different type installed. Fiberglass batt insulation has been around and popular for a long time, lets compare. Fiberglass insulation does not seal your structure like spray foam does. The R-Value for a batt of fiberglass insulation is approximately a 3.5 rating per inch. If you need an R-value of 24 that would make you have to have a thickness of approximately 6.5 inches. Not all that easy to meet code when you are putting it between 2 x 4 studs.

Spray Foam R-ValueClosed cell spray foam insulation in Biloxi, MS has been given an R-Value approximately around a 7 per inch. This may vary some because of the manufacturer of this product. Your spray foam specialist will know their product. With its seal that it creates for the protection of your structure, to meet the required R-Value of 24 you will only need approximately 3.5 inches to give you the same R-Value to meet your requirement. This will cut down on the amount of insulation that has to be put into your structure but gives you more protection than any other type of insulation.
