Spray Foam Insulation Products
We are Certified Installers of Biobased Systems soy-based spray foam insulation, and proudly carry the full line of Biobased products including:
-
Open cell soy-based insulation. R-value 3.8 per inch.
-
Closed cell soy-based insulation. R-value 5.5 per inch.
These award-winning products are professionally sprayed by our trained installers and are designed for new construction applications or any remodeling project where the stud walls or joist bays are to be exposed (no drywall or plaster covering).
What is the Difference Between Open-cell and Closed-cell?
Open-cell foam is soft - like a cushion or the packaging material molded inside a plastic bag to fit a fragile object being shipped. Closed-cell foam is solid and strong enough to walk on. But there are more differences than that .
How it works
Soy-based insulation will not settle or sag overtime like other types of insulation. That means you will enjoy all the benefits of energy efficiency and healthier air for as long as you own your home or building. Our product is installed by trained professional technicians using state of the art equipment, and carries the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty.
In order to achieve the maximum benefit of soy-based insulation, we highly recommend that building owners and designers/architects consult with a qualified energy consultant during the design phase in order to have an HVAC system designed to take advantage of the superior insulating qualities of soy-based insulation. The cost of the energy consultant can often be offset by Federal Energy Star tax incentives now currently offered.
The Installation Process
Our spray foam is applied by our trained installers using a water-based wet-spray that allows for even coverage onto open wall, ceiling, and floor surfaces; or into walls and other cavities.
When
applied, the components quickly expand to make a
foam layer of millions of air pockets—covering
surfaces and filling cracks and voids. Application of our spray foam can generally occur
independent of environmental conditions—it can be
installed in hot, humid, or freezing conditions—and
surface preparation is generally not necessaryThe foam
adheres to almost all surfaces, and when cured can
be trimmed off to provide a surface that is ready for
drywall or other finishing.
