Why Spray Foam Insulation in Flagstaff is a Priority
The state of Arizona suffers from extremely high summer temperatures. With the sun beating down, homeowners are forced to rely heavily on air conditioning. This leaves them with astronomical bills. But, what if you could keep your house cooler without so much air conditioning?
Energy loss
There are gaps in the structure of your home. For example, cavities in the walls, roof, floors, and crawl spaces. Heat enters your house through the processes of conduction and convection through these gaps. By blocking these holes with insulation, you can prevent heat from entering or leaving your house. This keeps your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
R-value
R-value is a measure for the thermal resistive property of an insulator. Closed-cell foam has an R-value between 5.0 and 7.0 per inch depending on the raw materials used. And open-cell foam has an R-value between 3.5 and 4.0 per inch. The special quality of closed-cell foam is that is can be applied in layers.
This is because it expands to one inch when dried as opposed to the three inches of open-cell foam. So, layer upon layer is applied to build up the overall R-value of the foam. Hence, closed-cell foam becomes near impermeable to air when applied correctly.

Foam RoofingInsulating your entire home is a lot of work. Not only does it require a lot of money. You also need to remove drywall or flooring. And pay for the labor the take apart and put back together your entire house. This is why most people prefer installing insulation during construction.
It's understandable if your house is old and you don’t want to go through all this trouble. Foam roofing in Flagstaff, AZ is an excellent alternative. You can get your roof insulated with spray foam at a fraction of the expense of building a new roof. Plus, it reduces energy losses by more than 50% because the roof is often a prime spot for the entry of air. |

Radiant BarriersThe roof is a problem area for more than one reason. Apart from the void that allows the entry of hot air, it is important to remember that the roof is in direct sunlight for the greater part of the day. Especially if your house is a single store building that a lot of homes in Flagstaff are. And in a state like Arizona that faces killer summers with high temperatures and a lot of heat.
Spray foam is undoubtedly the best option. But there is another service you can use instead or in conjunction with foam insulation. The professionals at AZ Spray Foam Insulation Flagstaff also install radiant barriers. This is a service we receive very high customer approval of. |
Insulation usually deals with reducing thermal entry through conduction and convection. But, radiant barriers reduces heat gain by reflecting radiation of heat. So, instead of the sun heating the roof and warming up your entire house that heat gets reflected. Thanks to the shiny, reflective surface of the barrier that prevents the absorption of heat.
You can invest in radiant barriers along with foam roofing. Or even as an additional service with spray foam insulation to maximize the energy-saving ability of your house. However, radiant barriers alone are not a suitable alternative for insulation. Additionally, you will need to clean the surface of the barrier. If dust collects on the reflective surface the heat-reflecting ability is reduced.

Concrete LiftingThe uses of spray foam are not restricted to insulation. AZ Spray Foam Insulation Flagstaff promises innovative solutions to a homeowner’s every problem. And a lot of homeowners find themselves dealing with cracked or sunken concrete. These can refer to concrete blocks outside your home, in your garage, or on the pavement.

But that isn’t always possible. Say you don’t have the money right now and need to wait a few months till you can replace the concrete. What should you do in the meantime? Our experts have the answer. Another excellent service Spray Foam Insulation Arizona offers is called concrete lifting. |
Concrete lifting is when spray foam is placed in the foam beneath the concrete slabs. Or in the cracks or gaps. The foam hardens and expands. This lifts the sab upwards if it is tilted making the surface even. It also levels the surface dealing with any cavities or holes. Overall, the appearance is improved, and it serves as an alternative remedy.
