Commercial insulation is one of the most cost-effective energy efficiency upgrades you can make. It’s not only good for your wallet, it’s a great way to help reduce our collective reliance on planet-warming greenhouse gases.

Keeping your house well insulated can save you money and help keep your family comfortable year-round. It’s especially important in homes built before 1960, which are typically less insulated than newer houses. Older homes tend to have air leaks and gaps, which allow heat and cold air to escape, requiring your heating or cooling system to work harder to compensate. Home insulation helps seal these leaks and gaps and can significantly improve the comfort of your home.

Insulation is made from a variety of materials and each type has different benefits and characteristics. Generally, the higher the R-value of a product, the better it insulates. Some factors to consider when choosing insulation include indoor air quality impacts, life cycle costs, recycled content, and embodied carbon.

Insulation is typically installed in attics, walls, and crawl spaces, primarily to insulate against hot or cold weather. It can be installed in the form of dry batts (fiberglass, mineral wool, cotton, and wool), cellulose, or spray foam. Spray foam is the most effective insulation, as it can be sprayed directly onto walls or into the attic space where it is designed to fit between studs and joists. Other types of insulation require drilling holes and removing existing drywall or trim, which may be costly.

Desert Spray Foaming is an advanced insulating product that seals spaces and gaps more effectively than fiberglass or cellulose, maximizing R-Value and cutting energy costs. It also utilizes less of the world’s non-renewable resources than other products, making it environmentally friendly. As your local expert spray foam insulation contractors, we will help you choose the right product for your Arizona home or business, based on climate.

Medium-density spray foam is ideal for new construction and retrofit applications, including unvented attics and filling wall cavities between studs and joists. This type of spray foam is also great for attics and wall areas where windows, doors, or electrical outlets are located, as it can fill tight corners. It’s the perfect choice for Arizona’s dry and arid environment, as it helps to mitigate harmful effects of solar radiation.

The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation for Desert Climates

In addition to reducing energy expenses, spray foam insulation will prevent small insects, pollen/allergens, and unwanted air movement from entering your building or structure. It will also help to limit odors and moisture from causing damage over time.

Closed-cell spray foam is the most popular choice for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. This type of spray foam insulation has a dense structure and performs better at blocking vapor movement and sound transmission than open-cell insulation, and it can be used to seal around the perimeter of an existing building or home. This type of spray foam is formulated to use a blend of plant-based renewable resources as the blowing agent. This is more environmentally friendly than using hydrofluorocarbons, which are used in many other spray foam insulations and have a global warming potential of 3,400 times that of carbon dioxide on a per-kilo basis.

Whether your home in Desert View, AZ is in a frigid winter wonderland or scorching desert, Gaines County, TX provides an airtight seal against extreme weather conditions. This cutting-edge insulation material is made of polyol resin and isocyanate, which create a formidable barrier against heat loss and moisture.

Advantages of Choosing Spray Foam Insulation

Unlike fiberglass and Styrofoam, which tend to crack or sag over time, spray foam insulation is durable and long-lasting. It saves energy and guards your building against mold, mildew, and vermin infiltration. The spray-on application makes it easy to cover nooks and crannies that traditional insulation materials cannot reach.

Spray foam comes in different densities, but the most common choice for a desert climate is 0.5 lb per cubic foot density. The more dense the foam, the higher its insulating power.

Before the foam spraying begins, a crew will vacuum the area where they are working. They will also remove any existing insulation, such as styrofoam or fiberglass, from the attic or crawl space. They will then run a hose from the mobile spraying rig to the attic, basement, or rim joist in an existing home, or to the exterior walls of new construction homes or pole barns.

Once the foam is sprayed on, it expands to fill in all the nooks and crannies. It can help prevent ice dams in the winter by creating an airtight seal between the attic and roof deck. Closed-cell spray foam also forms an effective vapor barrier, so homeowners do not need to add a separate vapor barrier after the product dries.
