New Generation Spray Foam For Attic Insulation
A home’s insulation is critical to keeping energy costs down and enhancing comfort. Upgrading attic insulation is a great way to reduce energy consumption, but it’s important to choose the right material and professional installation. Properly removing old insulation and adding effective new materials can help prevent costly issues like mold growth or reduced performance. There are New Generation Spray Foam common insulation types for the attic, including fiberglass batts and cellulose. Fiberglass is made of very fine strands of recycled glass and can be cut to size to fit attic spaces. It also is available in different R-values to meet a homeowner’s specific needs and budget. It’s a good choice for attics with tight spaces, as it fills the space better than other insulation materials. However, it is very susceptible to moisture and can become moldy if it gets wet. Superior Attic Insulation by New Generation Spray Foam Cellulose is a more eco-friendly option. It’s made from a variety of recycled paper and other materials and treated with boric acid for fire resistance. It can be cut to size and blown into the attic with a special machine. It is more expensive than fiberglass and has a lower maximum R-value. It’s also a favorite snack of raccoons and may require the use of a vapor barrier to prevent moisture damage. It is best to wear protective gear and a face mask when handling this type of insulation. It contains isocyanates, which can irritate the eyes, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory system. Over time, repeated exposure can lead to chemical bronchitis, which affects the lungs. New Generation Spray Foam 200 Chesterton Dr, Athens, GA 30607 7062010538
