Comfort Foam You save energy dollars year after year because the COMFORT FOAM insulation system delivers exceptionally good R-value for the life of the building. Less heating or cooling is needed to control the temperature in your home. That’s good for your budget and the environment! COMFORT FOAM creates a protective thermal envelope around your living space. The Highest R-value in the Market Insulation is rated in terms of thermal resistance - R-value - which indicates the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. COMFORT FOAM has the highest R-value (7 per in.) of all readily available, cost-effective insulations available in the market today.
Temperature differences between the unconditioned outside air and the conditioned living space can create convective looping (warm air rising, cold air falling) within a stud cavity. The impact of this looping degrades the R-value of most common forms of insulation and causes additional load on your home’s heating and cooling system. The superior R-value (7 per in.) and unique sealing characteristics of COMFORT FOAM reduce this temperature variance and the effect of convective looping, saving you energy dollars.
Don’t worry about durability. COMFORT FOAM is approved by all three national building codes and will perform for the life of your building. Its exceptional thermal and structural characteristics will save you, and generations to come, from the problems associated with the high cost of energy.
COMFORT FOAM spray polyurethane effectively protects your living space from unwanted moisture build-up and condensation caused by warm moist air meeting cool dry air within the building envelope (stud cavities, attics). Installed by a Qualified COMFORT FOAM Contractor, COMFORT FOAM effectively seals your home against unwanted moisture. You can now use modern ventilation techniques to create the best, most habitable indoor living space—free of excess moisture and airborne pathogens—for a healthy, more comfortable home. “Spray polyurethane foam insulation can be applied to a home under construction and will not only insulate, but will also reduce air leakage in the building envelope.” US Department of Energy Insulation Fact Sheet, August 1997 Spray polyurethane foam alone “…can provide an air- and water-tight barrier.” US Department of Commerce brochure, NISTIR4821 Controlling Air Infiltration…
United States Government energy labs estimate that air infiltration wastes up to 40% of every home heating and cooling dollar. It is one of the country’s most critical home energy problems. Unfortunately, most residential buildings were constructed before the scope of the problem was widely known. But today, new homes are being built utilizing the COMFORT FOAM solution, right from the start.
Used commercially for over 30 years, COMFORT FOAM is a sprayed-in-place polyurethane insulation, applied by a Qualified COMFORT FOAM Contractor during construction of your home. The closed-cell nature of COMFORT FOAM stops air leakage problems at the source.
Save money. Help save the environment.
Air infiltration is caused by leaks around windows and doors, and by the spaces, joints, voids and cracks hidden inside the structure of your home. This unwanted air penetrates the building shell and travel inside walls and ceilings, under baseboards, and along hidden pathways in the plumbing and electrical system. Even the best-built houses have seams and gaps that permit air infiltration. This uncontrolled air disrupts the temperature, air pressure and humidity of the living space, in any weather. The heating and cooling system has to work harder to maintain your family’s comfort. Energy is wasted and that causes higher utility bills. The Bottom Line. Unlike other home insulations, the spray-applied seamless sealing quality of COMFORT FOAM brand polyurethane foam insulation system eliminates the air infiltration problem. In Conventional Residential Construction… Once your house is finished, unwanted gaps and air spaces in the building structure are hidden. But they’re there, causing drafts, moisture and higher energy use. COMFORT FOAM |
