Residential Spray Foam Insulation Scotland

residential applications

Spray foam insulation can be applied to many areas of your home. Doing this will help save on your household energy bills, maintain a steady household temperature, help reduce global warming and will add value to your property.

Below is a list of area that we can apply spray foam to in residential settings:

airtightness importance

The Problem

Heat loss from a house or building occurs in almost every direction, with walls and roofs accounting for nearly 60% of total heat loss.

Loft and cavity wall insulation are simple and efficient ways to prevent heat loss through roofs and walls. But in time these can ‘fail’ and not perform as intended.

Energy savings could amount to as much as 40%, depending on the type of insulation and the thickness used.

Even insulated buildings can show signs of heat loss which ultimately affects the building’s performance and its sustainability.

Damp and moisture ingress can affect the performance of certain insulation materials (such as mineral fibre).

Reducing air leakage can help to reduce the amount of fuel necessary to heat a building.

Residential Spray Foam Benefits

benefits of Residential Spray Foam Insulation

PU spray foam insulation can be applied onto any substrate – in situ, and offers significant benefits over other insulations:

Adheres well to breather membranes and even roof tiles (this will help stabilise the roof structure and prevent tile slippage)
Typical lambda value 0.025W/mK (closed cell)
Can be applied to: solid walls (internal and some external applications), cavity walls (slight change in formulation), roofs, soffits and floors
Cures rapidly hence no waiting time – less wastage on site
Provides a seamless form of insulation which provides an airtight barrier
Closed cell spray foam not permeable to moisture and provides excellent thermal properties
Some acoustic performance
Class 1 fire rating.

The benefit of having spray foam insulation installed as a means to insulate your home, is that you will instantly start to save money by keeping your heat in your home.

Maintaining your home temperature means you will need to heat your home less and with less effort and therefore reduce your household energy bills.

As a knock-on effect, because you are using less energy to heat your home, you are also reducing your carbon footprint free of charge.

Spray foam is a quality insulator that minimises heat loss and is an effective and sustainable option in your home.

Spray foam insulation as well as the eco-benefits and the insulating properties of it, this quality insulation solution helps improve the structural integrity and durability of your roof too.

Not only that, your home’s energy efficiency rating will improve and can earn you a tax credit and will increase your home’s re-sale value.

residential spray foam applications

Air Barrier

Spray foam insulation seals the home to stop conditioned indoor air from escaping and prevent unconditioned air from entering. Air exchange in and out of a home is a leading cause of escalated energy bills.

Attics

Exterior Subgrade

Closed-cell spray foam is recommended for exterior subgrade foundation thermal and moisture management systems. This application damp proofs the foundation and adds to the energy efficiency of the building.

Perimeter Walls

Wall shear and racking strength can be up to three times stronger when insulating with closed-cell foam, rather than conventional insulation in framed walls.

Interior Insulation

The cell structure and physical properties of spray foam insulation contributes to sound attenuation of sound wall assembly designs. Spray foam insulation systems have been tested for noise reduction and sound transmission control.

ELASTOSPRAY LWP eco-friendly & low GWP

An environmentally friendly home is a great benefit for builders, occupants, and the environment. Take an active role in helping reduce greenhouse gases, thus slowing the effects of global warming. By properly sealing a home the amount of oil that is needed to produce electricity and the carbon admitted into the environment is greatly reduced. Spray polyurethane foam insulation, because of its efficacy as an air sealer and waterproofing agent, has the potential to be a key component of the durability management strategy for a home. In addition to adding durability, spray foam contributes to projects’ achievement of high levels of energy efficiency because of the high R-value per inch and the performance characteristics of foam.

With a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1, ELASTOSPRAY LWP
system is BASF’s new generation of spray foam insulation, setting new
standards of environmental compatibility. Its excellent product properties
make ELASTOSPRAY LWP the prime choice for all applications
demanding speedy, simple, cost-effective and sustainable construction
methods.
