SPRAY FOAM - OPEN CELL

Sealite® High Performance Residential Insulation –

An Environmentally-Friendly Open-Cell, Spray-In-Place Insulation That Stops Air Infiltration While Providing Energy Savings and Added Comfort.

Sealite open-cell spray-in-place polyurethane insulation saves the homeowner on energy costs compared to other common types of insulation. Sealite provides the desired R-Value plus the added advantages of spray-in-place polyurethane: it stops air flow into and out of your home, reduces noise, and blocks dust, pollen and other airborne pollutants for a more comfortable environment. It is also environmentally friendly, containing renewable agricultural resources, and is odorless and completely non-toxic.

How It Works
Sealite foam insulation is a two-part liquid formulated from renewable agricultural resources that is sprayed in place with an environmentally friendly water blown agent by specially trained contractors. This liquid quickly expands into a foam, filling all gaps and voids, and cures to form a fully adhered, solid, monolithic insulation envelope that is a highly effective air barrier. Sealite will not settle, shrink, or deteriorate, and it's guaranteed to retain its R-Value and noise-reduction qualities over the life of the home.

SPRAY FOAM CLOSED CELL

InsulStar® High Performance Insulation –

An Environmentally-Friendly Closed-Cell, Spray-In-Place Insulation That Controls Moisture and Air Infiltration, and Adds Structural Strength While Providing Tremendous Energy Savings and a New Level of Comfort.

InsulStar is the most energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, closed-cell spray-in-place polyurethane foam insulation system available. It is formulated from renewable agricultural resources and is completely non-toxic. It saves the homeowner up to 60% on energy costs compared to other common types of insulation. It stops air leakage into and out of your home, reduces noise, and blocks dust, pollen and other airborne pollutants for a more comfortable environment. In addition, it adds to the structural integrity of the home or building by doubling the shear strength of walls and tripling the uplift strength of the roof when sprayed on the roof deck.

How It Works
InsulStar foam insulation is a two-part liquid formulated from renewable agricultural resources that is sprayed in place by specially trained contractors. This liquid quickly expands into a foam, filling all gaps and voids, and cures to form a fully adhered, solid, monolithic insulation envelope that is a highly effective air barrier and moisture vapor retarder. InsulStar's high R-value allows designers to obtain extremely effect insulating value in a 2x4 wall rather than increasing the exterior wall depth to 2x6.

The Benefits of Foam Insulation

Open and Closed Cell Insulation Benefits

The benefits are numerous for insulation your home with our High Performance Insulation that provides the ultimate in comfort and energy savings. Below is a comprehensive list of benefits you will receive.

Long Term Cost Savings

Constant payback from ongoing energy savings.Home will use 40%-50% less energy which will allow you to keep thousands of dollars over the life of the home.

Increased Resale Value

By 2010 40%-50% of the homes built are expected to have 3-5 green elements (Source: McGraw-Hill Construction). Our insulation is a major piece of green building science and will become a sought after feature.A $1 reduction in annual utility bills can add as much as $20 to the value to your home (Source: The Appraisal Journal).That is a $10,000 potential increase with $500 in annual savings. Most homes will experience savings greater tahn $500 per year.

Keeps All 6 Mechanisms of Heat Loss or Gain Under Control

These are conduction, radiant losses, air convection, air infiltration, air intrusion and moisture accumulation.Traditional fiberglass only controls one of these 6 mechanisms, leaving the other 5 unchecked.

Exclusive Closed Cell Insulation Benefits

Healthier Home Environment

Provides moisture control to stop water intrusion.Prevents mold and mildew from growing in the walls.

Strength

Walls will nearly double in strength due to the studs, sheathing and foam being "glued" together.Prevents the popping and creaking noises that are common in most houses.
