Three Factors to Consider   When deciding on an insulation to install the three factors that you should consider are: Air Infiltration Properties R-Value Structural Integrity     Air Infiltration Properties Forty percent of the battle of insulating a home is in prevention of air transfer between environments. Polyurethane, by design, offers far superior qualities as a sealant against air infiltration. Applied as a liquid, urethane expands into a foam material that seals "every nook and cranny." This translates to a dramatic reduction in energy consumption, and ultimately lowering heating costs.     R-Value R-Value is the heat retention property of a material. This translates to: The higher the resistance factor, the better the insulation is at retaining heat, or resisting cold. When comparing the three commonly use insulation applications (fiber board, fiber glass, and spray in place polyurethane) you can see that the spray in place polyurethane or spray foam insulation dramatically out performs all other forms of insulation.         Structural Integrity The integrity of a structure is measured by that structures ability to withstand weight and maintain its shape. Polyurethane (spray foam insulation) sprayed into your walls fully adheres to the exterior sheeting and studs, reinforcing both. With this added rigidity, there will be less wall movement due to shaking and vibration. In addition, it eliminates the shrinking and settling that is common to other types of insulations.
