Will Spray Foam Insulation Work in My Ithaca, NY Home?

Have you been considering a renovation for your home? No doubt you want to make your renovation dollars go as far as possible toward increasing the aesthetic value of your home. But you should know, there’s more to your home renovation than just creating a pleasing visual atmosphere. You want a home that’s comfortable and energy efficient as well. That’s why, when you’re considering a renovation, you should also think about energy efficient spray foam insulation for your Ithaca, NY home.

Spray foam is a great choice for spaces in your home that have been gutted during a renovation. It is the superior insulation option because it can greatly improve the energy efficiency of your home. Compared to other insulations, spray foam has the highest R-value available, and it helps to eliminate drafts. Additionally, installing spray foam insulation in your Ithaca, NY home can help guard against conditions causing condensation and mold, add two to three times more strength to your build, help protect from interior and exterior water, and improve your indoor air quality because it keeps dust, pollen and other pollutants out.

Standard offers homeowners spray foam insulation for their Ithaca, NY homes. We provide different types of foam insulation, so we can help you choose the right type depending on your home’s needs. We’ll help you choose from:

Open Cell Spray Foam: This sort of insulation is widely used and provides a certified air barrier, energy savings, impeded moisture flow and sound resistance. Open cell spray foam is water blown and produces no off-gassing (an unpleasant, lingering chemical odor.) Additionally, installing open cell spray foam insulation in your Ithaca, NY home affords you a Class 1 fire rating, which can help you and your family stay safer.

Closed Cell Spray Foam: If you’re doing foundational work on your home, closed cell spray foam can offer you a built-in air barrier and water repellant. That can allow you to insulate and waterproof your foundation all in one application. Closed cell spray foam insulation also offers a Class 1 fire rating.
