Insulation protects your home from heat transferring between the inside of your house and the outdoors. While many people think of insulation primarily as protection against colder winter weather, it’s just as useful in helping to keep your house cool on a hot summer Tennessee day.

Any of the following issues are good signs that your insulation is underperforming and needs to be replaced:

•  High heating and cooling costs
•  Rooms that are too hot or too cold
•  Second floors that are much hotter than downstairs in the summer
•  Ice dams on your roof in the winter
•  Frozen water pipes

If your Franklin, Hermitage, or greater Nashville area home could use a home performance insulation upgrade, there are many different types to choose from, but of them all, spray foam insulation has a number of benefits, including:

•  Superior insulation qualities with high R-value
•  Acts as insulation, as well as a moisture and sound barrier
•  Can be used throughout your home, including attics, basements, and walls 

Advanced Technology for Superior Home Protection

Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation is applied “wet,” in liquid form, and sprayed over the area to be insulated. Spray foam insulation expands significantly as it dries and hardens, filling in crevices and other hard-to-reach (and insulate) areas of your home.

Unlike cellulose insulation, spray foam insulation doesn’t “settle” or lose it’s insulating properties over time, and unlike fiberglass batt insulation, there are no corners or edges where heat can sneak through. Finally, unlike most other insulation types, spray foam acts as a moisture and air barrier, meaning you are both insulating and air sealing your home with the same product.
