Philadelphia Insulation Contractor Retrofits Walls With Pour Foam
Pour Foam Insulation
A great idea to:
- Insulate older homes
Pour Foam insulation is an open-cell foam that is pressure injected into existing wall cavities through small holes drilled in the drywall/sheetrock. It’s ideal for older homes to maximize energy efficiency while maintaining a building’s architectural details. Pour Foam has an R-value of 4 per inch and expands 60 times its volume to fill wall cavities completely.
Benefits include:
• Environmentally Friendly – Pour foam is water blown, contains no HFCs or other harmful chemicals, and is a Class 1 fire-rated product
• Superior air-sealing for healthier indoor environment – pour foam air seals in one step, stopping air leaks in their tracks, and keeping dust and other pollutants outside where they belong
• Sustained thermal properties for permanent savings – pour foam doesn’t shrink or settle, thereby maintaining its insulating value over time and allowing for permanent energy savings
