OUR TESTIMONIALS
What is Spray Foam Insulation?
The obvious question many people first ask is what spray foam insulation is, how it differs from other forms of insulation, and what the benefits of such insulation versus more traditional options are. The official term is spray polyurethane foam, or SPF, though most people just call it spray foam insulation. Unlike older forms of solid insulation that are shoved into place within walls, roofs, and the like, spray foam is sprayed into the required areas. Once there, it dries to form a much more comprehensive insulating shield than other forms of spray foam insulation. Since it’s sprayed into place, it reaches all the corners and crannies more solid forms of insulation tend to miss. The result of this is a much more efficient form of spray foam insulation.
Spray foam insulation is also a lot more versatile than more traditional insulating materials. This is because it comes in various densities for a multitude of uses. For example, lower density spray foam insulation is ideal for attics and crawlspaces, medium density is what’s usually used in walls, and higher densities is used for roofs and industrial applications. By adjusting the density throughout a home, we can ensure better insulation for all your Waco, TX spray foam insulation needs. This means a more thoroughly insulated home, which is great for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is the energy savings you’ll get from better protection from fickle weather patterns.

The Savings of Spray Foam InsulationInsulation is an important part of home ownership. The reason is in the word, as it prevents a home from getting too hot or too cold so that the home’s air conditioning or heater can do their job with overworking themselves. This is especially important in hot areas like Waco, TX. Proper insulation also allows for more regular room temperature. This creates a more efficient air system within the home. Improper air flow can cost nearly half of an energy bill if not addressed, and the extra effort that creates can wear out air conditioners and heaters as well.
Since spray foam insulation provides more thorough coverage, it provides better insulation than other forms of insulating material. This makes it much better in the long run than more traditional materials, easily making up for the higher cost of installation. Many people look at insulation in all its forms and consider installing it themselves. This is a bad idea for several reasons. When it comes to installing home materials like insulation, relying on professionals like us is not only a great idea, it’s also a lot safer. |

Other Kinds of Insulation used for Homes and Buildings
Though spray foam insulation is superior in most respects, it’s not the only insulation game in town, and our contractors are experienced in other forms of insulation as well. With our skills and knowledge, we will find the right insulation to suit your home.

Blanket batts and rolls are one of the more iconic types of insulation. If you’ve ever been in a hardware store and seen a massive, fluffy pink roll, odds are good it was this stuff. Though fiberglass is the most common material these rolls are made from, they can also be made out of cotton, mineral wool, or plastic fibers.
These other materials are generally better because fiberglass is bad if inhaled for long term. This is a good reason to let the properly equipped professionals install insulation, and not buy it at the hardware store. |
|
In a similar form, insulation foam boards and panels are also an option. Like the rolls, they contain fiberglass but can be composed of other materials. These boards are deceptively easy to install, so a lot of people think they can do the job themselves. One big problem with this insulation method is it leaves a lot of small open spaces between support struts, walls, and ceiling.
These are all places that can interfere with temperature regulation. One of the benefits of spray foam insulation is that they cover such areas for better temperature regulation, meaning lower energy costs overall and fewer areas that might need further insulating down the line. |
|
Though not as optimal as spray foam insulation, blown-in insulation is a similar option. The process works much like spray foam, with the insulating material getting blown into place via spray hose. Once adhered to the proper surface, it dries, again much like spray foam.
Though commonly made using fiberglass, it can also be composed of rock wool or recycled cardboard and newspapers. These materials are good insulators in their own right, and some consider blown-in a good alternative to spray foam insulation. Your contractor will be than happy to suggest the proper insulating material for your home’s needs. |

On that note, something of an outlier in the insulation material game is reflective and radiant barriers. This sort of insulation is installed on the outside of the house instead of in the walls, and is designed to reflect sunlight away from the home to prevent heat absorption that way. The reflective material is usually metallic and placed on a support board. Lightweight and reasonably effect, these boards are designed mostly for use in areas that get a lot of sunlight and don’t have to worry too much about cooler weather.
These panels are great for high sun areas and thus compliment more standard insulation methods. Considering the hot, clear skies of Waco, TX, a fair few of you probably already have these, or at least have heard of them. Your contractor will know best how to compliment or adjust your current insulation methods to best suit the needs of your home in relation to its location. |
How Insulating Materials Differ
|
Though the intent of all insulating material is more or less the same –to keep energy or its absence, known as hot and cold, in the house- the actual material involved can vary. As mentioned earlier, one of the old standbys of the trade was fiberglass.
Fiberglass is very versatile, but can also be hazardous to human health if inhaled or it comes into prolonged contact with human skin. This is not usually an issue once the product is installed as long as professional installers utilize proper safety equipment, but as the house, and thus the insulation, ages, it can become an issue. |
|
|
Other materials, such as wool rock and recycled newspapers, known as reclaimed cellulose material in the industry, are also options. These materials lack the potential health hazards of fiberglass, but they also don’t last as long since they’re more natural.
Spray foam insulation is an excellent option because it offers the exceptional coverage of blown-in insulation, and does not use fiberglass without sacrificing insulating benefits. Your contractor will be happy to help you select the right insulating material for the job, especially because we’d much rather handle the job then you try and perform the installation yourself. |

Why You Should Leave Installation to the Experts
|
As we’ve stressed throughout this article, home insulation has a lot of processes involved, and that requires experience. As insulation contractors we have the proper safety equipment to handle multiple forms of insulation, not just spray foam but fiberglass as well.
Other materials like rock wool and recycled cellulose are much less hazardous to human health if not handled properly, but they also have their own quirks. Now only are contractors trained in a variety of safety equipment, they also know how to safely install the materials. Just because some insulation materials look easy to install doesn’t mean they actually are easy. Besides safety, there’s the danger that in the process of trying to install insulation yourself, you don’t do the job properly and end up having to pay more to get it fixed by a contractor. Hiring a professional from the start not only ensures the job is handled safely from start to finish, it also ensured the job is done right the first time. |
