Walls are erected in order to protect your home from outside noise, the elements and to achieve a comfortable living space. When it comes to insulating these walls, R-value alone is not an adequate measure. A high performance air barrier system such as EcoLogic Spray Foam Insulation delivers protects your home making it energy-efficient while saving you money.

Fiber Insulations slow convection, but do not eliminate it. Convection occurs when heat is transferred through air currents creating a pathway for energy and heat loss. Where other traditional insulating material simply slows convection, EcoLogic Spray Foam Insulation is specifically designed to STOP convective heat loss and air infiltration. Studies show that 1/4 inch of EcoLogic Foam stops nearly one-hundred percent of convective heat loss.

Inside a building, heat loss occurs when air escapes through cracks, crevices, cavities and other fault lines. These thermal areas create pathways allowing moisture, mold, air, and pollutants to gain entry into your home or work space.

Room temperature fluctuates when air movement occurs around windows, doors, ceilings and walls. This occurrence kicks the home heating and cooling units into overdrive in an attempt to regulate the temperature. Low R value or poor Thermal Resistivity is typically the reason heat loss, responsible for diminished air quality.

Convective heat loss accounts for as much as seventy-percent of total heat loss. Thus, an insulation material which allows air movement through it, such as fiberglass, cannot match a foamed wall with the same R value. The foam barrier is three times more effective in sealing the building than fiberglass, adding to the structural integrity and value of the building.

Like water, air leaks through walls of homes with traditional insulation by any means possible. Cracks, holes, crevices and other weakened areas of the structure create the pathways for this invader. With enough air pressure, the stability of the structure is compromised affecting the performance of the insulating material. Products unable to properly seal these leaks do not function as reliable insulators.
