Reduced Energy Bills with Foam Insulation

Tailored Foam's injection & spray foam insulation solutions help to reduce energy bills for both residential and commercial applications.

Did you know that if you were to double your attic insulation from 16R to 32R, your energy savings would increase by a whopping 2%?

According to Fourier's Law of Thermodynamics, the first 16 R reduces heat flow by 95%, while 32 R only reduces heat flow by 97%.

Building scientists are finding that the method of insulation is more important than the amount of insulation.

It's becoming apparent that the infiltration of air with its humidity and heat is the real culprit in the increasing cost of making your indoor time comfortable.

Tailored Foam offers a Total Solution to saving energy with foam insulation products which combine high R values with an air barrier which stops air infiltration. Doesn't that make cents?

The Total Solution Works for Existing Structures Too!

If your house is more than a few years old, it was built when the solution to comfort was to make bigger air conditioners. In fact, if your home or office was built before 1990, only drywall and concrete block separate you from the elements. Minimal insulation values were not even required by the building codes until then. Energy was thought to be cheap and inexhaustible. We know better now! Scientists estimate that 60% of all energy loss comes from air infiltration. Experts agree that if you could put all the air leaks in a typical home together, you'd have a hole in your wall the size of a basketball.

These holes allow expensive, clean, dehumidified air to escape and raw outside air to take its place. The Total Solution builds an "envelope of protection" around your indoor environment to prevent this from happening.

Additional Ways to Save

In addition to energy savings, lower maintenance and replacement costs, there are ways to offset the initial cost of improving your indoor quality-of-life.

Utility Company Rebates

Many utility companies provide credit or rebate plans to help offset your insulation investment. While their plans vary, you could get as much as $300 towards the cost of insulation, in your new or existing house. Find out if your utility company offers this program, and how to qualify.
