EcoLogic Spray Foam Insulation is a house insulation technology that is superior to conventional insulative materials. Inch for inch, it is a better insulator than fiberglass or cellulose. It is a spray- on material that, when dry (or cured), blocks both air circulation and moisture. The airtight and watertight qualities add to the overall insulative properties of the material, substantially improving the performance of an already superior product.
This foam insulation can be used in new home construction. It is applied to walls and ceilings before the interior walls are installed, at the same point during construction that conventional insulation would be installed. It can also be applied to existing homes during renovations and additions. It can be applied to existing attics, crawl spaces and basements, including rim joists, which are a common area often poorly insulated in conventional construction and a source of energy loss.
EcoLogic's Spray Foam Insulation has other advantages that make it attractive to the homeowner. Since it is both a water vapor and air barrier, it helps keep your house free of not only moisture but pollutants, dust, odors, allergens and mold as well. The insulation is a "closed cell" type which dries into a hard material which substantially increases the strength of the building's exterior. The foam also provides an excellent acoustical barrier, adding a subliminal level of comfort to any room.
EcoLogic's Spray Foam Insulation is environmentally friendly. Years ago spray foam insulations had a bad environmental reputation. These early foams contained formaldehyde, which too often out-gassed and contaminated the building space. They were sprayed on using CFC chemicals that were eventually banned. Today, EcoLogic uses a new blowing agent that meets the rigorous standards of the Montreal Protocol. That means zero CFC's or HCFC's. EcoLogic's foam is composed of recycled polyurethane, coming from used milk bottles and similar goods that would otherwise wind up in our waste streams. The recycled polyurethane is mixed with Soya oil, which is just what it sounds like, an oil derived from soybeans, and not that different from the vegetable oil you buy in the supermarket. EcoLogic's skilled technicians spray the foam solution using a "zero ozone depletion" propellant that is safe for the atmosphere.
