iFOAM of South Charlotte, NC is a liquid that expands to fill the small gaps and cracks in walls, ceilings and attics. This makes it ideal for new construction and renovation projects, as well as for metal buildings. It’s a cost-effective option for both residential and commercial properties, and the installation process is fast and non-intrusive.

Because it’s so effective at restricting air leakage, the foam prevents your heating and cooling systems from having to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature. That, in turn, saves you money on your monthly energy bills. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to report savings of up to 30% after having spray insulation installed in their home or business.

The Long-Term Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation with iFOAM of South Charlotte, NC

Homes and businesses with spray foam insulation have better protection against mildew, mold, and bacteria. The inert polymer in spray foam doesn’t provide a food source for these organisms, and the foam also acts as a barrier against external moisture that might otherwise enter and cause damage.

If a building is improperly insulated, frost lines can form on the roof of the property. This is an early warning sign that it’s time to invest in some new insulation. This will make the property more energy-efficient and help to protect against expensive repair bills and replacements.

The insulation is made with a mix of polyurethane, polyisocyanurate, and other chemicals which have low global warming potential (GWP) of around 1. Methane gas has a GWP of over 3,400 times that of CO2. In addition to being an efficient insulator, spray foam prevents air leakage and improves indoor air quality by stopping polluted outdoor air from entering the home or workplace.
