Polyurethane Spray Foam

Polyurethane spray foam is formed by mixing and reacting chemicals to create an expanding foam. It can be sprayed into building cavities and it will expand and mold to its surroundings. In the insulation industry polyurethane spray foam is most commonly used for insulation, air sealing and to create a moisture barrier. Polyurethane spray foam is known to resist heat transfer extremely well and is one of the best solutions for preventing unwanted air infiltration through openings or cracks. Due to its versatile nature, Yvon Insulation uses polyurethane spray foam in many insulation installations of attics, ceilings, walls, and floors.

With this spray foam there are different types that work best in specific locations. High density polyurethane spray foam is mostly used in exterior or roofing installations. Where as medium polyurethane spray foam is often used for continuous applications, and can be used just like low density spray foam that is usually for interior cavity fills or attics. We would also like to stress the importance of correctly using and installing this foam to maximize its efficiency. If polyurethane spray foam is not installed properly then it will make no difference in insulation. It really goes beyond the structure of the foam it is also about the installation and delivery system. Our main installation system includes:

• High pressure, two component foam
• Low pressure, two component foam
• Insulating foam sealant

We understand it can be hard deciding which polyurethane spray foam application may be best for the job and so we will make sure to have our best insulation contractors make that informed decision. Please do not hesitate to call with more questions, here at Yvon Insulation we are eager to help!
