Air moves in and out of a home through every hole, crack, and crevice. The air infiltrates through walls, ceiling and floors. Adding an advanced insulation system is necessary to achieve optimal building performance. Whitewater Foam Insulation Solutions Inc is that advanced insulation system.

Cylex 1. How does spray foam insulation work?      

Whitewater Foam Insulation Solutions Inc: Sustainable Building  Energy efficiency is just one of the many ways in which Icynene home spray foam insulation can help Canadian builders ring design flexibility and sustainability together. Insulating and protecting against air leakage with Icynene means that homeowners can reduce carbon emissions and save on heating and cooling costs Home spray foam insulation like Icynene can pay dividends year over year thanks to optimized and properly right-sized HVAC equipment. Building an energy-efficient home. The dual functionality of thermal insulation and air sealing in Icynene spray foam insulation in an energy-efficient home design means that fewer building materials are required. Plus, Icynene home spray foam insulation can help shorten construction schedules thanks to quick application and a reduction in building materials. Icynene works for the life of the building, eliminating the need for replacement or additional materials and waste.

Cylex 2. Where can it be used?  

Whitewater Foam Insulation Solutions Inc: Whether your residential designs feature cathedral ceilings, vented attics or subterranean basements, Icynene spray foam insulation in Canadian homes adds value, comfort and reassurance. It can also be integrated into your designs easily, and adheres to substrates including wood, steel and masonry.

                    

Cylex 3. What is the cost of spray foam insulation?

Whitewater Foam Insulation Solutions Inc: The cost is determined by number of inches of spray foam product is required by the square foot or linear foot of the area being sprayed.  Each product has different R Values.

Cylex 4. How does the spray foam improve a home's energy efficiency?

Whitewater Foam Insulation Solutions Inc: Icynene home spray foam insulation can help Canadian builders bring design flexibility and sustainability together. Insulating and protecting against air leakage with Icynene means that homeowners can reduce carbon emissions and save on heating and cooling costs.

Cylex 5. Are there any differences between roofing foams, wall foams and sealant foams?

Whitewater Foam Insulation Solutions Inc: Both open-cell spray foam and closed-cell spray foam can play an important role in your residential projects. Suitable for use on the interior, open-cell spray foam insulation can be applied into wall, ceiling and attic cavities. Closed-cell spray foam is ideal for higher R-value applications, in basements and crawlspaces and certain exterior applications.

Builders can use both open-cell spray foam and closed-cell spray foam in a home for insulation and an air barrier, for a comprehensive performance solution.

Closed-cell spray foam

• High thermal resistance per thickness

• Lower vapour permeance; acts a as vapour barrier

• Ideal for exterior, basement and crawlspace applications

• Can reject bulk water, making it ideal for homes in areas prone to flooding or high snowfall

• Can be applied at very low temperatures (as low as -15oC)

• Higher tensile and bond strength

Open-cell spray foam

• Suitable for interior applications such as wall cavities and attics

• Can be installed at a significantly lower cost than closed-cell spray foam and target the same specified RSI-value

• Lower raw material/resource use

• Permits bi-directional drying

• Will accommodate long-term creep and seasonal movement

• Hydrophobic material

Cylex 6. What makes Spray Foam better than conventional fiberglass insulation?

Whitewater Foam Insulation Solutions Inc: Spray Foam Insulation Compared to Other Insulations;  Home functionality and performance have changed over the years. Modern homes need top-quality, high-performance building materials to perform at their best. The comparison between foam insulation vs. traditional insulation quickly shows how spray foam insulation is the superior choice for your residential builds. Consider how Icynene spray foam insulation can help differentiate your homes and their performance

Cylex 7. What is your experience in this sector and why do you recommend Foam Insulation as a solution?  

Whitewater Foam Insulation Solutions Inc: Our team worked for Ottawa Valley Eco Services in both spray foam,  cellulose insulation, air sealing and other insulation products for the past 4 years.  They unfortunately had a huge fire and they decided not to go back into the spray foam business.  We decided with our experience and prompt and efficient customer service that we would be a good fit for our local communities.   Our team enjoys the work and we strive to help people achieve a more comfortable home in both winter and summer.  We use Green products and the companies we purchase from have engineers and qualified experts to answer any questions the clients may have that we cannot answer ourselves.  We will find solutions to their problems. Residential insulation such as Icynene spray foam insulation helps you differentiate your homes in many ways, including:

• optimal energy performance and energy efficiency score

• comfort and improved indoor air quality, regardless of season

• quieter spaces to live, work and play

• lower heating and cooling bills each month.

Superior energy efficiency mostly depends on creating a better air “seal.” Wall insulation is a significant issue in home energy savings, but there are other factors that will lower home energy efficiency. As much as 40% of energy loss is due to air infiltration. Therefore, the most effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort in your home is to seal it with foam.
