You've dreamed and planned, worked and reworked the plans for your new home or business.  You want your building to be beautiful, practical, comfortable, and energy efficient. No other type of insulation is as energy efficient and cost effective as sprayed foam insulation.  Spray foam insulation is an important component of Green Building.

Spray Foam Insulation (SPF):

• Acts as its own air barrier
• Fills all holes & crevices preventing air infiltration
• Retains shape & thickness indefinitely
• Allows zero water infiltration making it impervious to mold
• Offers greater energy savings because of permanent barrier properties
• Its simple application means faster construction time
• Has a higher R value per inch than any other type of insulation
• Is non carcinogenic
• Does not deteriorate over time
• Does not pollute the environment

A new  foam insulation construction project involves spraying foam in the exterior walls, foaming door and window reveals (the small space around the door and window frames), caulking the bottom plate where concrete and bottom of wall meet, and finally spraying the roof deck.  This application provides a total insulation envelope for your new house.

Using spray foam in new construction provides cutting edge air sealing qualities and R-value and allows you to heat and cool your home with less equipment giving you instant energy savings from the start of your home.

PLANNING NOTE: As you plan your new home construction and installation of foam insulation we advise you seriously consider using 2" x 6" wall studs instead of 2" x 4" studs. It costs a little more for the lumber but the return on investment is increased R-value and zero foam waste. When foaming 2x4 walls we spray 4 inches in the cavity. The foam expands beyond the cavity so we must shave off one half to one inch of excess foam. This gives an r-13 wall but creates wasted foam and wasted money. The you are paying for the excess foam but not getting the use of it in your walls. And excess foam simply goes to the landfill. In using 2x6 walls we spray in 4 inches at R-15.2 and there is no waste. It exceeds an r-13 and leaves the skin on the foam which also increases its permeability rating. We install for the same price and you get more for your money.

Therma-Lok Insulation also offers hybrid fiberglass/foam installation for those interested in alternatives to 100% foam.

As with other types of insulation SPF should only be applied by qualified applicators. Therma-Lok owners have years of experience in the construction industry and in insulation installation. We are thoroughly trained in the proper method of installing foam insulation. Our reputation is on the line with each job we do and we value our good reputation. We will be glad to provide references on request. Our focus is on making sure your space is the most efficient and cost saving environment possible.
