As an industry leader in spray foam insulation, we receive questions all the time about the product. What is it, how does it work, what are the benefits, the list goes on! We are happy to answer any and all questions you have about spray foam. To help you get started, we wanted to share a selection from our FAQ page at www.creativeconservation.com:
Q: How much will insulation cost?
A: The cost of insulating your home will vary depending on the size and style of house, the insulating products used, and the strategies implemented (unvented attic, conditioned crawl etc.). Visit our project calculator for more examples
Q: If foam and cellulose are so good, why do most people use fiberglass?
A: Most people use batt insulation because they aren’t given the option to use something better, and aren’t aware that upgrading your insulation system at the construction stage will usually completely pay for itself in the first 1-3 years.
Q: What are conditioned crawlspaces?
A: A conditioned crawl space uses insulation on the walls and a sealed vapor barrier instead of the typical under floor insulation to create an energy efficient space under your home.
Conditioned crawl spaces bring the HVAC equipment, air handler, and ducts into conditioned space. Any duct leakage is lost into the building envelope. Conditioned crawl spaces eliminate moisture intrusion, control relative humidity, and improve indoor air quality. By creating a mini basement, the foundation walls are insulated instead of the crawl ceiling. Conditioned crawl spaces require supply air only (no return), 1 cfm per 50 square feet of floor space.
Q: What are unvented attics?
A: A conditioned attic uses insulation on the underside of your roof deck and gable end walls instead of the typical flat ceiling insulation to create an energy efficient space on top of your home. Read more about unvented attics.
