WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
|
What We DoOne might easily assume that insulation is what we do. But what we really do is provide our friends and neighbors in Huntington, West Virginia, with a more comfortable, affordable, and sustainable environment in their Huntington, WV home or business.
The first step towards accomplishing this goal is to help our customers understand their options and be comfortable with the process. To that end, let's begin the process of understanding here. |
Insulation Materials
Fiberglass Batt insulation has been around for decades and is the most common insulation material found in America. Similar to fiberglass, cellulose is another long-standing option. Both of these materials perform essentially the same and have similar shortcomings.
Today, newer materials like spray foam insulation are far more efficient insulators and offer other protections that fiberglass and cellulose simply cannot provide.
For any insulation material to efficiently and effectively protect your Huntington WV home or business, it must be an airflow, moisture, and vapor barrier. Both fiberglass and cellulose can do none of this without additional materials, products, and labor. Even then, they fall short.
Both of these materials are utterly useless after becoming wet for any reason. Your only option is to replace the damaged insulation. Neither material will block airflow or protect your living space from dangerous vapors.
Alternately, spray foam insulation in Huntington, WV, does offer all of these protections and more. This modern insulation material forms an absolute seal against the elements, including moisture, airflow, and vapor. It is far more robust and durable than either of these older options.

Spray Foam InsulationSpray foam insulation combines a polyurethane polymer with water and compounds to resist fire and insects to form a liquid that is then applied by a certified spray foam insulation installer with specialized hydraulic equipment.
When correctly applied, spray foam insulation is entirely safe and non-toxic. However, the raw ingredients are not so benign and must be handled by a professional spray foam insulation installer. Mishandling these materials and incorrect application can result in an ongoing toxic condition known as off-gassing. Huntington Spray Foam Insulation can remove this dangerous material and mitigate the situation. But, this is all unnecessary and will drive your costs well beyond what is necessary with a second professionally installed application. |

R-valueThe R-value of any insulation in Huntington, WV indicates its ability to resist the transfer of hot and cold. Fiberglass and cellulose insulation have an R-value of about 2.3 per inch. Spray foam insulation has an R-value ranging from 3.5 to 7 per inch, depending on the formulation.
You need not be a math-wiz to see that spray foam insulation will deliver more than twice the R-value of these older materials. Fiberglass and cellulose need approximately 13 inches to reach the recommended R-value of 30 for walls, whereas spray foam insulation offers the same protection and more with around 4 ½ to 8 ½ inches. |

Open Cell Spray Foam InsulationAs this formulation cures, the bubbles burst open, creating a pliable, sponge-like material. This lightweight material is bulkier than closed cell spray foam (we will talk about this next), and allows your walls to breathe, but is a barrier to airflow. It is not, however, a moisture or vapor barrier. These features make open cell spray foam insulation appropriate for interior applications.
One significant attribute of this spray foam formula is its sound-deadening ability. It is capable of reducing the noise of a rowdy party to a whisper. Many customers of Huntington Spray Foam Insulation are enjoying these benefits in multiple different ways:
You can probably think of several areas in your Huntington, WV home or business where soundproofing would be a significant improvement. |
|
Closed Cell Spray FoamCreated the same way as its lightweight sibling, the bubbles that form as this formulation cures remain intact, resulting in a rigid, hard, plastic-like product. This more robust material, like open cell spray foam, adheres aggressively to your structure. But, unlike open cell spray foam, it will add up to 30% to your building's strength and is an effective moisture, air, and vapor barrier.
These significant benefits also deliver an R-value of 7 per inch, making closed cell spray foam in Huntington, WV, the undisputed champion of insulation products. |
Beyond the Your Walls and Ceiling
Most people think of their walls, and maybe their ceiling, when they consider insulating their homes. While these are important to protect, there is more to do if you want complete and effective protection from the insulation in your Huntington, West Virginia dwelling.
|
Attics and Crawl SpacesConventional insulation techniques allowed airflow through your attic and crawlspace so your structure could breathe. However, new construction techniques and materials allow Huntington Spray Foam Insulation to completely seal your attic and crawlspace from the elements. Your home's HVAC system and other features will enable it to breathe.
Condensation is the enemy and an inevitable result with significant temperature swings and exposure to the outside air. By sealing these spaces with closed cell spray foam, they remain at a constant temperature and are efficiently isolated against the elements. |

The Price of ComfortSpray foam insulation in Huntington, WV, will be more expensive than traditional options, but the payback of lower energy costs and improved comfort will see that difference quickly erode.
Most Huntington Spray Foam Insulation customers will recoup their costs within about seven years. |
