For those that are untrained, they tend to conjure images of fluffy, pink fiberglass when thinking about home insulation because that is all they’ve ever seen. Although many builders use the material, it is by no means the only available insulator on the market. Pink fiberglass is not usually the best option for insulating a home or building.
We offer spray foam insulation in Manhattan because it is amongst the most practical choice for ideal insulation. You may be asking yourself, what is spray foam insulation?
Spray polyurethane foam insulation is made when several liquid chemicals combine to create a reaction that produces the foam-like substance. When applied, the foam quickly expands to fill even the smallest of gaps and cracks (can grow over 30%). After, the foam hardens to create a reliable, watertight and airtight barrier.
Our team is experienced in applying this type of insulation to residential and commercial structures. Typically, it is installed in basement rim joists, overhands, crawl spaces, bonus rooms, and knee walls. Foam is applied to these spots because they are the most common areas to experience an escape of air that makes a home less energy efficient and comfortable.

It is important to note that beyond being affordable and effective, spray foam is safe for your home and health. We implement various safety protocols during installation to ensure our team does not breath in particles and that the foam is installed safely.
During installation, it is common for the inhabitants to leave the premises. Usually, people must vacate for 12 to 24 hours.
