What is spray foam insulation?

Essentially, spray foam insulation is a combination of two chemical compounds, that is isocyanate and polyol resin. When these two materials combine, they form foam that expands greatly in volume which could be 30 to 60 times. Spray foam insulation in Weatherford TX is great because it acts as an air sealant, thus blocking out any air infiltration that could otherwise happen with other types of insulation. Polyurethane is the primary component of spray foam. Even though polyurethane has been around the 1940’s it was only until the 1970’s that it was used in spray foam.
​
Spray foam insulation in Weatherford TX can be of two types, that is open cell spray foam insulation and closed cell spray foam insulation. The difference in the two is that as the term suggests, open cell spray foam refers to the cells that have not been fully closed. Closed cell spray foam on the other hand is made up of cells that are completely closed. Open cell spray foam insulation is more flexible and expands more than closed cell spray foam and each type can be used keeping different end purposes in mind. 

Where not to use spray foam insulation?

Even though spray foam insulation in Weatherford TX is great for using in all parts of the building structure, there are certain areas that it should be totally avoided so as to keep away from danger. These are:

• Near and around electrical fittings and boxes- Spray foam that is used near electrical fittings pose the risk of entering electrical boxes, thus causing the parts to jam or stick together. This is also very dangerous as spray foam is flammable and should not be used near electrical wires. If it is absolutely necessary to use spray foam in these areas, it should always be done by a spray foam insulation contractor who is an expert in the field and will exercise judgment and caution when using spray foam. For areas around electrical fittings, low expanding spray foam is best.
• Around light fixtures- Spray foam should not be used near light fixtures especially around recessed ceiling lights. If spray foam is sprayed too close to ceiling light boxes, this highly increases the chance of heating up the area which could result in a fire.
• In closed cavities and spaces- Because of its expansive nature, spray foam should be avoided in closed and compact spaces such as between two studs or in enclosed cavities of the wall. Instead of regular spray foam, you should rather opt for injection foam. Injection foam is the same as open cell spray foam insulation, however the expansion rate differs.
• If you have health issues- If you or your family members have skin, respiratory or asthma, it is better if you avoid spray foam insulation as spray foam contains chemicals that are highly reactive, known as isocyanates. Once spray foam is sprayed, these chemicals get sprayed into the air, thus it could lead to further health issues.

Hiring a spray foam insulation contractor

Spray foam insulation in Weatherford, TX should always be done by a professional spray foam insulation contractor and is not a Do-It-Yourself job that you should consider doing by yourself. It is not such an easy task to install spray foam and once it is dry it needs to be cured. Thus, you would rather hire a professional to do the job for you, for the sake of health and safety of you and your family members. When hiring a contractor, these are some tips that you should keep in mind that would make your search a lot easier.

• Narrowing down your search- It is absolutely fine to speak to a couple of contractors and ask them a few questions before actually hiring them. Always speak to at least 4 to 5 different contractors and see what they have to offer such as how long they will take to complete the job, what precautions they take, how much they charge for their services and so on.

• Search by references- If you know any of your friends and relatives who have used a spray foam insulation contractor recently in Weatherford, TX and are happy with the service that they received, this could be a good way to ensure that the same contractor will do a great job for you as well. 

• How long have they been in business- When opting for a spray foam insulation in Weatherford TX, make sure to opt for a contractor who has been in the business for a couple of years, say at least 7 to 10. This will guarantee that they have ample amount of experience in the field and will not make any mistakes when it comes to completing a job of spray foam insulation for you. Also, if any problems arise in the future, you can always contact them for finding a solution as opposed to someone who would do an amateur job and not own up to their mistakes.

 

• Find out about their qualifications- Qualifications and certifications are as important as the experience because if you hire someone who does not have proper training and certifications, you are not making the correct choice. Even though some contractors may offer a lower price than the others, you will ultimately pay much more to rectify their mistakes than the initial investment, had you hired an experienced, certified contractor in the first place. Spray foam insulation in Weatherford, TX is difficult to install and if not done properly is difficult to remove, compared to the other traditional types of insulation. 

• Ask about whether the company follows all code requirements- Spray foam insulation is a very flammable material and should be applied following some safety measures. Ask about the company’s knowledge and protocol on code requirements and you will be able to judge how serious the contractor is regarding following safety measures.

• Ask for references and examples of other customers- Any contractor who is confident of their skills and ability to do a great job will gladly give references and examples of work done for other customers. You can also look at online reviews and social media sites to get an idea about the jobs done by the contractor. Other people’s reviews about that particular company’s spray foam insulation in Weatherford TX will give you a good insight into the type of products and services done by the contractor.

• Ask about warranties and guarantees- Since spray foam insulation in Weatherford TX is a big investment in the category of home improvements, you will definitely want to know that the money you have invested has not gone to waste. You surely do not want to pay extra in the future for something that may be no fault of your own. It would be ideal to get a lifetime guarantee; however this depends upon the company’s policies and rules. Nevertheless, getting some sort of guarantee that you are happy with is definitely worth the while.

• How to choose a reliable company or contractor- It is of utmost importance to choose a company for spray foam insulation in Weatherford TX that you can trust and rely on to do a proper job, whether it is your home or if you own a business place.

This test will show energy weaknesses in your home and ultimately the contractor can tell whether your home is a good fit for spray foam insulation or not before you make that huge investment!
