How 316 Insulation Is Installed

Spray foam insulation is a type of composite material that’s made up of 2 different materials (typically polyurethane and isocyanate) sprayed together at the tip of a spray gun. As they’re sprayed into an area to be insulated, the 2 chemicals react with each other and expand significantly in that specific space to create an effective air and vapor barrier.Learn more:316insulationservices.com

The foam fills cracks, crevices, and nooks and crannies to create an effective protective barrier that’s incredibly durable and resilient. It won’t lose its shape or compress over time, and it’s an effective and affordable way to improve energy efficiency in a home.

Top Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation with 316 Insulation

However, while spray foam insulation offers many benefits, it can also pose some unique problems and challenges that homeowners should be aware of. It’s important to have an experienced and professional contractor oversee the project to ensure that it’s done correctly.

When a homeowner decides to have spray foam insulation installed, their contractor will come to the house and remove any existing insulation in the area that’s to be insulated (if there isn’t any already there). They’ll then vacuum the entire surface to be sure it’s clean. This helps the foam adhere properly and prevent any issues with air quality, moisture, and mold.

Then, once they’re ready to start working on the project, they’ll put on protective gear and get to work. They’ll use a specialized spray foam insulation rig that looks similar to a high-powered paint gun. This rig is equipped with a large tank of chemicals and a special applicator that allows the insulation to be sprayed onto walls, attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists in new construction homes, pole barns, and existing homes.
