"Making A Difference, One House At A Time"
Spray foam insulation is the newest technology in the race for energy efficiency. Insulation has increasingly come into the spotlight recently as an area where improvements can be implemented that can have a dramatic effect on the environment, as well as decrease costs to the homeowner or contractor. Today’s spray foam is made from annually renewable soybean oil and recycled plastic bottles. It also utilizes a zero ozone depletion substance-blowing agent. A building that is insulated and sealed with spray foam will use up to 50% less energy, reducing fossil fuel usage and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. This also provides for optimal energy efficiency to maximize the return on a spray foam investment.
