Improved Air Quality with Foam Insulation

Improve the indoor air quality of your home or business with Tailored Foam injection & spray foam insulation solutions.

Years ago, when energy was cheap and gasoline was $.50 per gallon, the prevailing thought was that the walls of a commercial building, or home, should breathe.

Building scientists are now finding that the opposite is true. Air leaks in the building envelope allow exhaling of treated indoor air. There is also an inhaling of humidity, pollution, mold and mildew spores, allergens and a whole host of "undesirables". As expensive, filtered, cooled, dehumidified air leaves the building envelope, the pressure is lowered, and the "undesirables" leak in. And it comes from all directions: ceiling, walls, windows, fireplaces, exhaust vents, etc.

By sealing out the undesirables with foam insulation, filtered, dehumidified air is mixed with small amounts of fresh air, and re-circulated throughout the living areas. Your air conditioning system works less and the temperature remains more consistent. Core-Fill 500 foam insulation seals the leaks in the walls, and spray foam in the roof deck area seals the attic area. Cleaner, drier air translates directly into less allergens, mold and mildew, germs and pollution.

The whole indoor environment becomes healthier. So now you can breathe easy.
