Closed-cell 2lb spray foam offers numerous benefits for Property Managers:
Higher energy efficiency - Unequaled air sealing and highest R-value dramatically reduces heating & cooling costs.
Interior comfort - Drafts and air infiltration are eliminated, making the residential client a more comfortable living environment and the commercial client more secure.
Enhanced indoor air quality - Virtually eliminates uncontrolled and unwanted air infiltration. As a result, a more clean and comfortable interior environment is created by the dramatic reduction of dust, pollen and other allergens.
Superior condensation and moisture control - Closed-cell spray foam offers unparalleled performance in moisture transmission and condensation due to its ultra low water vapor permeance. When applied at a 2" thickness, establishing a vapor retarder with a 1 perm rating. Interior building envelope condensation can lead to the development of mold, mildew and also deteriorate building materials.
Quiet Building - Spray foam reduces the noise transfer and sound penetration from both inside and outside the building envelope, with a Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 37.
Structural strength - 2x4 stud walls with closed-cell spray foam support up to three times the racking loads of other insulation materials. Further, resistance to wind uplift increases up to three times when closed-cell spray foam is applied under the roof deck.
Green standards - Closed-cell spray foam reduces construction time, as it accomplishes multiple building envelope requirements in one seamless, monolithic application. And according to US Federal Standards, spray foam is not a volatile organic compound (VOC). Coupled with this, spray foam has no harmful ozone-depleting emissions. As foam insulation is an on-site spray from a bulk liquid, a lessened waste footprint is also achieved, compared to traditional insulation methods.
