This customer was building a new home and chose spray foam insulation after learning about its advantages over traditional insulation.
Open cell spray foam was applied directly to the roof deck in this new construction project, providing an R value of R38. This will seal off all ridge vents, gable vents, and soffit vents. The wall cavities were filled with open cell spray foam insulation as well. 2 inches of closed cell foam was applied to the basement walls. Unlike traditional insulation, spray foam insulation fills every nook and cranny, providing a complete air seal. For this reason, this home will be more comfortable and energy efficient and the homeowner will recoup their investment in energy savings over the next several years.
