MORE ON ENERGY AUDITS

Mon, 15 Jun 2015 16:00:00 GMT

GA Foam Solutions is your partner and ally when it comes to ensuring that your home, business, or other building space is as energy efficient as possible. They regularly perform energy audits to test and measure how well your insulation is performing, by testing how well it is preventing air infiltration and heat loss. This, along with offering the very best in quality insulation products and other services, is just one way that GA Foam Solutions helps you save money and be environmentally friendly.

What is air infiltration?

Air infiltration, which can also be referred to as air leakage, occurs when air gets inside a building unintentionally or without anyone knowing about it. Air infiltration can occur through cracks, holes, and weaknesses in insulation. Many times, poor or outdated insulation can be a prime suspect for air infiltration in homes and other buildings.

GA Foam Solutions typically recommends spray polyurethane foam insulation to minimize air infiltration. This product offers the very best in insulation properties, including minimal air infiltration. Spray polyurethane foam insulation is also the best product for insulating hard to reach areas such as corners, areas around pipes and wiring, and more areas where other insulation options may not reach or adhere properly.

What is heat loss?

Heat loss is a term that refers to how much energy is being lost from your home or building. The amount of energy that you lose, whether from your heating or cooling, can be a lot. The prime areas for major energy loss are around windows and through attics and roofs, and even through walls, typically because of poor insulation. As much as 25% of your home’s energy loss occurs through the attic or roof, and 35% through the walls. Effective insulation can save you a surprising amount of money.

How does GA Foam Solutions perform energy audits?

GA Foam Solutions performs energy audits through a series of tests. These test measure heat loss and air infiltration to determine how energy efficient your home is, and where your insulation may need to be updated or upgraded.

Blower Test: A blower test uses a high powered fan to extract the air out of your building. This creates a negative pressure. When air infiltrates through weaknesses in your building, this is measured. When air leaks are definitely present, smoke might be used to locate the exact location of the leaks themselves.

Thermal Imaging: Thermal imaging uses an infrared camera to actually photograph where air infiltration and heat loss might be occurring in your home or building. Thermal photos will show you where your home or building might have weaknesses in the insulation or other energy loss issues. Thermal imagining can offer you visual proof of how energy efficient your home or building is.

Energy Audit Packages

GA Foam Solutions, as your go-to insulation specialists, offer two packages for energy audits. These packages range in price from $49 to $249, depending on whether or not the blower test is needed to test your building. Call GA Foam Solutions today to learn more about these energy audit packages and how you can get started testing the energy efficiency of your home or business.

MORE ON INTUMESCENT COATING

Thu, 11 Jun 2015 16:00:00 GMT

GA Foam Solutions is more than just your provider of excellent, quality insulation products. They are your one stop shop for everything you need when it comes to insulating your building, whether it be your home, commercial building, or more. Intumescent coating is another service offered by GA Foam Solutions.

What is intumescent coating?

Intumescent coating is an additional spray that is applied over the foam insulation. It acts as an additional shield in case of fire. The coating can act as an ignition barrier as well as a thermal barrier, depending on how thickly it is applied over the foam insulation.

Ignition Barrier: An ignition barrier creates an additional barrier, space, and amount of time before a fire can catch between the spray polyurethane foam and the interior of a building. Proper spray insulation already has some fire and ignition resistant qualities. Depending on the space, you may or may not need an ignition barrier. Typically, an ignition barrier is required if the area in question is accessible but is not being used as a living or storage space. An example of this would be a crawl space or attic.

Thermal Barrier: Similarly, a thermal barrier is a material that separates the spray polyurethane foam from the interior of your building. All thermal barrier material must pass a test where it resists catching fire for 15 minutes. This is usually a required shield for all buildings, where the ignition barrier is not always required.

How is the fire resistance of intumescent coating tested?

Intumescent coating can act as either a thermal barrier or an ignition barrier. This ability depends on how thickly it is applied over the spray polyurethane foam insulation.

Typically, the thermal or ignition barrier strength is tested using a four corner burn test. In this test, the material is applied under controlled conditions and a fire is set. The amount of time that the material is able to resist igniting is how the material is determined to be appropriate for thermal or ignition barrier status. All of this testing is done thoroughly in labs under controlled conditions so all material being used by GA Foam Solutions is regulated and considered safe.

Where can I learn more about intumescent coating?

The professionals at GA Foam Solutions are happy to answer your questions regarding intumescent coating and the fire safety of your insulation and materials. They have the knowledge and experience necessary to inspect your existing insulation and determine if it is both safe and effective, and make recommendations if needed.

MORE ON POLYURETHANE SPRAY FOAM

Mon, 01 Jun 2015 16:00:00 GMT

GA Foam Solutions specializes in the very best quality products and service when it comes to your insulation needs. Polyurethane spray foam insulation is one of the most useful, practical, and popular insulation methods available today. There are many uses and advantages to using polyurethane spray foam insulation.

WHAT IS POLYURETHANE SPRAY FOAM INSULATION?

Polyurethane spray foam insulation is specialized plastic foam that can be sprayed on in liquid form. After a short period of time, the liquid plastic foam expands and then hardens. The liquid can actually expand to many times its size, which makes it quite useful for hard to reach spaces and more.

There are two kinds of polyurethane spray foam insulation. These are open-cell and closed-cell polyurethane spray foam. The difference between these two insulation products is pretty specific to their names, but their qualities and uses are quite different.

* Open Cell: Open cell polyurethane spray foam is a soft and almost pillow-like insulation. This is because the cells or pockets of air, in the foam are open or “broken”. This allows more air into the material, making it soft rather than dense. Open cell polyurethane spray foam can expand to 150 times its size when sprayed, and has an R-value of 3.8-5.0 depending on the weight of the foam you use. A common and very useful application for open cell polyurethane spray foam insulation is use on the inside of your home or other building, as it has excellent sound-proofing qualities.

* Closed Cell: Closed cell polyurethane spray foam is a very dense insulation. This is because the bubbles in the foam are small and compacted and the bubbles are filled with a gas to make the insulation value even higher. It expands up to 30 times its original size when sprayed, and has an excellent R-value of 7.4. Closed cell polyurethane spray foam is extremely strong. Closed cell polyurethane spray foam is an excellent choice for insulating outdoor walls, buildings, and more and it even adds to the overall strength of your building.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES TO USING POLYURETHANE SPRAY FOAM INSULATION?

One of the biggest advantages of using polyurethane spray foam insulation is how easy it is to insulate with full coverage. An experienced technician can easily insulate areas that would have been very difficult or even impossible before.

HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE ADVANTAGES OF POLYURETHANE SPRAY FOAM INSULATION:

The ability to spray insulation directly on pipes, wiring, and more surfaces than ever before without the risk of fire or damage.
Excellent sound-proofing qualities, especially for indoors with open-cell foam.
Seamless coverage for the best building insulation possible.
Great energy savings.
Creates an effective and long lasting air barrier that will not corrode over time.
Non-toxic and non-corrosive materials.

These and many other advantages make polyurethane spray foam insulation the very best choice on the market for almost any application. Whether you are looking for insulation options for your home, business, or other building, polyurethane spray foam insulation can be used in virtually any area or application. Call your polyurethane spray foam insulation experts today to learn more. The professionals at GA Foam Solutions specialize in polyurethane spray foam insulation, and their technicians are the most knowledgeable and experienced in the business.

FOAM INSULATION AND ITS MANY USES

Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:00:00 GMT

Foam insulation is, of course, used for insulating homes, buildings, and other structures. There are many other uses, however, that contribute to making spray Polyurethane foam insulation useful for a variety of projects.

ANY INSULATION PROJECT

Spray Polyurethane foam insulation is so beneficial and versatile that it can be used for a wide variety of projects. This advanced form of insulation has an excellent R-value, is non-corrosive, moisture resistant, and non-toxic. The ability to use this product just about everywhere makes it a perfect go-to insulation choice for virtually any building, upgrade, or renovation project.

SOUNDPROOFING

Both open cell and closed cell spray Polyurethane foam insulation are excellent for soundproofing. Between the two, open cell spray Polyurethane foam insulation has better soundproofing qualities because of the way the material allows more air. The open cell formation traps air, creating a fluffy material much like a pillow, which is very effective at muffling sound.

This type of insulation is an excellent choice for indoor walls, especially around media rooms. So if you have a band practice space, home theater, or other media room where soundproofing is necessary, this is a perfect choice for you.

MOISTURE BARRIER

Many forms of insulation, like older versions of traditional fiberglass batting, are not super effective at blocking out moisture. In fact, this is one of the reasons that these forms of insulation would fail is because moisture would make them sag. Newer forms of insulation have effectively combated this problem. Spray Polyurethane foam insulation, for example, creates a very strong and effective moisture barrier. The closed cell form especially is a very effective outdoor wall insulation option.

ENERGY SAVING

Proper insulation can save you a surprising amount of money on your home heating and air costs. Especially when it comes to roof deck insulation, for which closed cell spray Polyurethane foam insulation is a very effective option, you will be saving hundreds or even more on your energy bills. This is because the majority of your home or business’s energy or heat loss occurs through the roof. Adequate insulation can make a huge difference to this problem, and spray Polyurethane foam insulation is the best choice for this type of insulation.

INSULATE WIRING

Another very beneficial use of spray Polyurethane foam insulation is that it can be used just about anywhere, including directly on wiring and pipes. Due to its non-corrosive and non-flammable nature, it can be sprayed directly onto even electrical wiring without an ignition barrier. This makes your life much easier, not to mention it can put your mind at ease for decreasing fire hazards in your home.

Spray Polyurethane foam insulation has so many uses that it makes a perfect choice for virtually any insulation project. Whether you are insulation your home, business, or other building, you can use this extremely strong and effective insulation. In fact, spray Polyurethane foam insulation meets all four major building codes in the United States so it is rated for just about any project you could use it for.

THE TRUTH ABOUT R-VALUE

Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:00:00 GMT

If you are in the market for insulation, you have likely heard the term “R-value” being thrown around quite a bit. Often, the terminology for these types of things, especially when it comes to building and supply materials, can be a bit confusing and even misleading. R-value is an important term with important meaning behind it, however, so to choose the most effective insulation products, you need to know the truth about R-value.

WHAT IS R-VALUE?

R-value, which is also sometimes referred to as “thermal resistance” is a measurement. Specifically, it measures how much resistance a material has to heat flow. This, understandably, is a very important factor for insulation materials.

Most states have requirements for the R-value of any new building projects, such as residential and commercial buildings. The R-value for these large projects is often based on an overall calculation of the R-values in specific areas of the building, such as the roof. Single materials, however, also have an R-value rating that should be paid attention to.

The R-value of an insulation material not only gives you an idea of how efficient the material will be to retain warm or cool air, but can also affect your energy costs.

HOW IS R-VALUE MEASURED?

The R-value is measured based on information set by the American Society of Testing and Materials. They test specific materials, like insulation, based on specialized heat flow tests, and give the product a rating based on their findings. The calculation for R-value measures a material’s conduction, convection, and radiation, which are all methods by which heat moves. By calculating each of these factors, an R-value is established.

IS ALL INSULATION CREATED EQUALLY?

As you are researching and shopping for different insulation materials, you might notice that very different materials have similar R-values. For example, you might see that large batts of fiberglass material show a higher or similar R-value to that of open cell foam spray insulation. Both of these materials are quite different, of course, and they each have their benefits. All insulation is in no way created equally, because there are so many different uses and also advancements on these materials. Also pay attention and make sure that the R-value listed is per inch of the product, as one inch of closed cell Polyurethane spray foam has twice the R-value that one inch of fiberglass batting does.

WHAT DOES R-VALUE MEAN TO CONSUMERS?

R-value is an important factor when choosing insulation materials, but should absolutely not be the only factor you consider. The ease of installation, longevity, and strength of the product should also come into play when choosing which material is best for you. Also consider moisture resistance and airflow, as these can be huge factors that could become a problem down the line. Closed cell Polyurethane spray foam, for example, has excellent moisture and weather resistance as well as being extremely resistant to air flow, where Fiberglass batting can accumulate moisture and it takes a huge amount to dampen airflow as opposed to an inch of the foam material.

Use this information about R-value to arm yourself as you research the best insulation materials for you.

SPRAY FOAM INSULATION: WHAT TYPES ARE AVAILABLE?

Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:00:00 GMT

The world of insulation has grown to encompass many different types and forms of insulation. These different types each have their benefits and situations where they make the best choice. Knowing the difference between the types of foam insulation will help you understand what to look for and make it easier to follow what your contractor or insulation company recommends.

There are actually more types of insulation in general, but for the purposes of this information we are specifically looking at foam insulation. Spray foam insulation especially has become the most popular choice for customers and companies alike because of its ease of use, quality properties, and excellent efficiency. Georgia Foam Solutions specializes in spray Polyurethane foam, and therefore want you to understand the differences in the types of this particular foam.

The types of foam insulation fall into two main categories: open cell and closed cell foam.

OPEN CELL FOAM

Open cell spray Polyurethane foam is a soft and cushiony form of insulation. The cells of the foam are broken, allowing air to come inside and help the insulation process. This is what gives it the “open cell” name. You can think of this type of insulation kind of like a pillow, because although it is soft and airy, it still does insulate well. Open cell spray Polyurethane foam is great for sound insulation, as well as air insulation. This makes it an excellent choice for insulation in media rooms where sound proofing is necessary, as well as the interior wall insulation in homes and apartments.

The R-value, or the measurement of how well the insulation resists heat flow, of open cell foam is 3.81 per inch of insulation. Depending on where you live, this may mean that you use more of the open cell spray Polyurethane foam in any given area to increase the overall R-value.

CLOSED CELL FOAM

Closed cell spray Polyurethane foam is a denser and stronger insulation material. The cells of the foam are closed, only allowing for very small pockets of air. These bubbles are also filled with a gas that increases the insulation properties of this material. Closed cell spray Polyurethane can be used for both indoor and outdoor insulation, especially because it has a strong resistance to wind, rain, and other weather. Closed cell foam is excellent for creating not only an air barrier, but a moisture barrier as well, which makes it highly effective.

The R-value of closed cell foam is much higher than open cell foam, at 7.4 per inch. This means that in order to get the best insulation, closed cell foam is more effective for insulating, especially in areas that experience rougher weather conditions.

The type of insulation that you choose, or that will be recommended to you, will be based on what your needs are and where you are planning to use the insulation. You may find that closed cell foam is more expensive than open cell foam, but is a better choice for some situations. You may also end up using a combination of different insulation in any given project.

SPRAY FOAM INSULATION: WHICH TYPE IS RIGHT FOR ME?

Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:00:00 GMT

In most cases, speaking to a professional is usually the first start to learning about what product to choose, especially when it comes to contracting and building materials like insulation. With all of the advancements and upgrades that have been made with modern insulation, however, you might find that a lot of insulation professionals have yet to move on to the newer, more improved materials. It is for this reason that you want to do a little bit of research before you head out to talk to anyone, so you know what to watch and listen for when choosing the right materials for you.

KNOW THE FACTS

There are many types of insulation overall. From the traditional fiberglass insulation that comes in batts or rolls, to cellulose insulation, many of these types of insulation, while still effective, are not quite as good as the newer forms of Polyurethane foam insulation. You might find that the older, more traditional, types of insulation can be much cheaper than the newer foam insulation options, but consider the whole picture.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER

Installation: Each type of insulation comes with its own challenges for installation. Talk to your insulation specialist or contractor to discuss how they plan on installing your insulation, and then maybe even follow that information up with additional research or a second opinion. You want to make sure that your insulation is installed properly to get the very best efficiency from your insulation. Also be sure that whoever is installing your insulation is well trained and certified to do the installation properly.

Strength: The overall strength of the insulation is important. Closed cell spray Polyurethane foam, for example, is super strong and resilient. Conversely, older fiberglass materials will not be quite as strong as the newer versions. The strength of the material itself contributes to the resilience, resistance, and overall effectiveness of the product.

R-Value: The R-value of insulation is a measurement of how much the product is resistant to heat flow. This is an important measurement, because it not only amounts to how warm or cool you can keep your building, but also how energy efficient it is. Energy loss, or heat loss, is one of the number one contributing factors to over-expensive energy costs and savings.

KEEP FOAM IN MIND

One of the biggest advancements in super-efficient insulation has come in the form of spray Polyurethane foam. The two main types of Polyurethane foam insulation come in the form of open cell foam or closed cell foam. The open or closed cell refers to how much air is in the material, which affects many different qualities of the insulation. For example, open cell foam is very lightweight and soft, and is great for sound insulation, making it a great option for indoor walls. Closed cell foam is much denser, which makes it much stronger and more resistant to moisture and weather, which makes it a better option for outdoor walls. Both of these materials have good R-values per mere inch of material, making it much easier to deal with and install in many projects.

Foam insulation is an excellent option for so many building projects. Overall, you have to do a little research to figure out which insulation options will be the best for your specific project.
