When you are building a new home, there are so many things to take into consideration. Your new construction project is about more than how your home will look, it is also about starting off on the right foot as a long term investment in your future. One big question you may be asking is, “What kind of insulation should I use in my new home? You may be wondering if you should use spray foam insulation in your new house. Here are four reasons to use spray foam in new construction:
When you use spray foam during new construction, you gain a massive advantage of enhanced structural integrity. Unlike other forms of insulation, adding spray foam to your walls, floors, and/or ceilings will help your home stand up to storms and strong winds. In addition spray foam expands to fill gaps and cracks providing that extra barrier your home needs.
Keeping the hot air from escaping in winter and helping your air conditioning remove hot air in the summer is an important function of your insulation. Spray Foam gives you added energy efficiency by ensuring all gaps and filled and higher R-value providing the best insulating power that is available today.
Because spray foam expands everywhere it is applied, any cracks, however big or small, will be filled. This ensures that your home has the best moisture barrier possible. Stay protected from leaks, and the possible mold and mildew growth that inevitably happens as a result. This additionally hold true for air leaks as well, keeping humidity and drafts from entering your home as well.
The properties of spray foam ensure that it is a long lasting investment that will lengthen the life of your new home. Your home is one of your biggest investments, so with spray foam insulation you have the added peace of mind that you will not need to replace your insulation as you would with other types. This adds value to your new home looking to the future and the day that you decide to sell.
