Attic insulation is a high-performance building material that creates an airtight seal and prevents energy loss. It also improves a home’s comfort and lowers utility bills. But, it’s important to choose the right type and install it properly. 316 Insulation of Olympia provides expert insulation consultations, installs, and cleanouts to help homeowners save money and create a healthier indoor environment.

The most popular type of spray insulation is medium-density closed-cell polyurethane foam, or ccSPF. It’s a durable, rigid insulating material with an R-value of up to 6 per inch. This type of insulation is ideal for attics, crawl spaces, and wall cavities. Unlike fiberglass batts and cellulose, it doesn’t contain harmful chemicals and is safe to use in homes with young children and pets.

316 Insulation of Olympia: Eco-Friendly Spray Foam Insulation Services

While spray foam is a great insulator, it’s not suitable for all homes. It requires a special vapor barrier to reduce moisture infiltration, which can lead to mold, mildew, and structural damage. In addition, if it isn’t installed correctly, spray foam can trap moisture in the wall framing and cause rot.

Unqualified, unregulated contractors are pitching spray foam to unsuspecting homeowners as a quick, affordable, and eco-friendly solution to cut their heating bills. However, if it isn’t properly applied, it can lead to extensive moisture damage, including rotted framing and toxic mold. The solution is to hire a professional and reputable insulation contractor. A qualified installer can ensure that your attic, walls, and basement are properly insulated.
