Ice dams form when heat escapes from the conditioned space, warms the attic, and melts snow on the roof. This water runs to the cold eaves where it refreezes, creating damaging ice ridges. Closed-cell spray foam insulation solution prevents ice dams by addressing the root cause: heat loss. Applied directly to the underside of the […]
The pinnacle of thermal performance in insulation is achieved when a material provides both maximum thermal resistance and an effective air seal. Closed-cell spray foam excels in this regard due to its high density and unique structure: a matrix of sealed pockets containing an insulating gas. This gas has exceptionally low thermal conductivity, allowing closed-cell […]
Closed-cell spray foam insulation is necessary when specific project goals require maximum thermal resistance (R-value) in minimal space, or when a complete moisture and air barrier is required to address high humidity typical of Central Texas. If the space requires structural enhancement or if the insulation must perform reliably even if exposed to water, closed-cell […]
Open-cell spray foam insulation installation generally has a positive and measurable impact on a Georgetown property’s resale value. The primary drivers for this increase are significant energy savings, improved home comfort, and better indoor air quality, all of which are strong selling points for modern homebuyers. A home that costs less to operate and provides […]
Yes, open cell spray foam can be a highly effective solution for reducing persistent allergy issues. By creating a superior air barrier, it significantly limits the infiltration of common outdoor allergens like pollen, dust, and other pollutants into your living space. Unlike traditional insulation, which often leaves gaps and allows for air leakage, open cell […]
A drafty room, surprisingly high energy bills, or concerns about moisture in your walls are more than just minor annoyances. They are signs that your building’s envelope, the barrier between your conditioned indoor space and the outside world, is failing. For years, traditional insulation materials have been the standard solution, but they often leave gaps […]
If you’ve ever felt a blast of freezing air by a window in January or noticed your AC unit running constantly in the summer heat, you’ve experienced the costly problem of air leakage. It’s the primary reason homes waste energy, often accounting for 25% to 40% of the energy used for heating and cooling in […]
Proper insulation does more than just regulate temperature; it makes a home feel fundamentally more stable and secure. This feeling comes from a combination of structural reinforcement, sound dampening, and moisture control. When insulation, particularly materials like closed-cell spray foam, is applied correctly, it bonds to the building materials, adding rigidity to the structure. This […]
Spray foam insulation is a direct countermeasure to ice dams because it stops the root cause: heat loss from your home into the attic. By creating a complete air and thermal barrier on the underside of the roof deck, it keeps the roof surface cold. When the roof stays at or near the outdoor temperature, […]
