How The Foam is Applied

​​In Your Basement

Spray Foam is an expanding foam that is applied by spraying it onto the walls of your home, crawlspace, in between joists, all over the attic, or in this case the basement walls. The insulation forms a continuous air tight barrier. It adheres directly to the wall and also acts as the vapor barrier when applied to a 2" depth. A lot depends on how you will be using the space in your basement, you can either leave the home insulation as is, or you can add drywall on top of the basement insulation services to give it a fresh look, and make it more of a livable space. 
​
Polyurethane spray foam    enables us to insulate rim joists and header swiftly and effectively with an air tight seal applied to these areas, that when left un-insulated will only result in air leakage. 

Our technicians will apply the spray foam onto the header or rim joists area. This area is located between the top of the basement wall and where the first floor begins. It is typically the width of your floor joists.

Spray Foam Insulation is also the best and most effective product to use on a renovation project or addition where the walls are open and/or being constructed. ​
