Open Cell Foam Information Closed Cell Foam Information
"Today, it is estimated that in residential and small commercial buildings, over 50% of the energy loss is associated with heat transfer and air leakage through building envelope components."1
"Heating and cooling (space conditioning) account for 50-70% of the energy used in the average American home." 2
"Even small voids in irregular framing or at the end of the batt of 1-2% of the insulation area can result in a 25-40% loss of R-value." 3
The performance of Spray Foam doesn’t change
When the weather changes, the performance of fiberglass insulation decreases when the wind blows through it.
"With an average 8 mph wind, your home could lose up to 30% installed R-value."4
Protect your home during a Hurricane with Alpha Spray Foam
"During a design racking event like a hurricane, there would be less permanent deformation of wall elements and possibly less damage to a structure that was braced with SPF (spray polyurethane foam) filled walls." 5
