If you haven’t insulated your home or business you can benefit a lot from spray foam insulation in terms of cooling and heating, noise reduction, and many more that we will know more about in this article.

Where It’s Best To Apply Spray Foam Insulation

Properly installed, spray foam insulation helps ensure the airtightness of your home, and even serves as a vapour barrier in the case of closed-cell foams with less cost than the majority of other insulation methods. Here are some spaces that you will need to isolate:

1. Attics, crawl spaces, or basements: Spray foam is the ideal solution for small spaces that do not allow the installation of panels or large rolls of insulation.
2. Floors. Spray foam insulation makes it possible to effectively coat the ducts and pipes, for example when installing underfloor heating and above all to reduce your energy costs.
3. Walls. Requiring no joints or fittings, spray foam can be deposited on the surface in a uniform layer of about 10 cm and will provide thermal insulation and airflow of your walls.
4. Roofs. Spray foam eliminates thermal bridges and also has the advantage of being perfectly waterproof. It does not settle or peel off over time and envelops all areas of the roof, even the most difficult to access.

Where in your home you want to insulate and what function you seek will determine whether you choose open or closed-cell foam. For example, an open-cell foam will be more suitable for walls to allow the evacuation of water vapour. A professional insulation contractor will be able to direct you to the type of foam recommended according to your needs.

How Much Spray Foam Insulation Do You Need?

The amount of spray foam insulation that an area requires varies from home to home. Homes that are located in extreme weather fluctuations require thicker insulation with a higher R-Value.

Spray Foam Costs vs. Fiberglass, Batt & Cellulose

Spray Foam Insulation Cost:

• $2,360 on average
• R-Value of 6-7 per inch closed cell and 3.5-3.6 per inch open cell
• Highest R-Value insulator
• In addition to insulation provides air sealing

Blown in Insulation Cost:

• $1,440 on average
• R-Value of 3.1-3.4 per inch fiberglass and 3.2-3.7 per inch cellulose
• Some materials offer recycled content

Fiberglass Batts Cost:

• $300 to $600 on average
• R-Value of 2.9-3.8 per inch 
• Quick and easy to install
• Up to 30% can improve energy efficiency

Rock Wool Cost:

• On average to install it can cost $1,000
• R-Value of 3.0-3.3 per inch
• Has fire resistance and sound deadening
• Quick and easy to install

Closed Cell Vs Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation Cost

Cost of Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation

Adversely, the closed cell spray foam’s density is 2lb per cubic foot. Its R-Value is R6.5 per inch. It is used on walls, ceilings, roofs, and under tabs. This type of insulation costs more than the open cell, but the high price is justified by its quality. Spray foam insulation cost varies between $1.55 to $8 per square foot, depending on which part of your home needs to be insulated. When applied as should, this spray foam gives better results than any other method of insulation that is available in the market today. Having a look at the air exchange, this method gives an excellent insulation barrier. It is also really effective for repelling moisture from the inner walls of your house. Closed cell spray foam increases the ceiling’s strength, roof, or wall structure with glue like tenacity.

Spray Foam Insulation Cost Per Square Foot

The cost of spray foam insulation is also calculated per board, such that, open cell spray foam costs vary from $0.44 to $3.00 per square foot, and the closed cell spray foam cost varies from $1.25 to $1.65. The average spray foam insulation cost per professional installation is $2,021 for the majority of insulation companies in Toronto. This amount depends on whether the structure that is being insulated is newly constructed or renovated. To conclude, finished homes are not very suitable for insulation. However, they make excellent candidates for weatherization or an energy audit.

Cost of Materials by Size In Square Feet

Cost of Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation

Open Cell spray foam’s density is half an lb per cubic foot and an R-value of R3.5 to R3.6 per inch. The R-value, also known as the thermal resistance, is determined by the foam density of the spray such that the higher the foam’s density, the higher the R-value. R-value’s role in the insulation process is to show the resistance of the material to the heat flow. It is really important for this value to be high because this results in a greater resistance too. Open Cell foam spray has a lower density compared to that of its counterpart, the closed cell spray foam and it is not resistant to vapor. When used in attics and cool temperatures, it is advisable for the spray to be applied together with vapor retarder paint. The cost of the R6 foam varies between $2 to $7 per square foot.

DIY Spray foam insulation cost

You can choose to install foam insulation by yourself using kits from brands of your choice. The average price of covering about 200 square foot with a foam insulation kit varies between $300 to $600, which is about two or three kits used. When you buy these kits, you will find a foam made up of two types of liquids referred to as Icynene, which are firstly heated and then pushed through a gun on the can. The installation cost might seem minimal when you decide to do it by yourself but if you are not experienced in installing spray foam, you may find it difficult to evenly spread the foam over a surface.

Failing to cover some spots or leaving some holes may lead to cold air getting into the structure. You can safely proceed with the insulation project if you intend to deal with small projects only such as foam insulation in a narrow space. Other large projects such as the attic, basement, or garage should be left to a certified insulation company that can provide the proper equipment and has a respectful background. They will properly price the entire insulation project, whereas you on the other hand could incorrectly calculate the cost of the insulation project and end up losing more money in the process.

Measuring the thermal resistance (R-Value)

During the process of spray foam insulation or any other type of insulation, the R Value should necessarily be the basic part of your decision. However, it is also important to note that the loss or gain of heat can occur in many different ways, and as a result, measuring insulation through the R-Value alone is not always the right way.

Polyurethane foam spray does not necessarily guarantee prevention of all methods of heat transfer from taking place. Alternatively, you may want to consider radiation, heat conduction, air infiltration, convection, and intrusion alongside the amount of moisture accumulation. All six of these mechanisms are the key factors of the effectiveness of the insulation.

Spray foam insulation cost difference for existing and new homes

There is a huge price difference when it comes to insulating a new home and insulating a relatively older home in Toronto. Insulating a recently constructed house is usually much easier because the insulating company can work effectively and make sure that the insulation is designed for optimum protection against heat transfer and sound, whereas installing spray foam insulation on an older home, specifically those that contain existing insulation may cost more and require more time to install, which also increases the cost. Energy audits and weatherization are the most recommended alternatives for these kinds of homes.

Q: Can I save money by choosing to insulate my property with spray foam?

When it comes to prices and costs, every investment in your house or property will certainly cost you a specific amount of money. Regardless, not each of these investments presents you with a chance to save money. Saving yourself money that is spent on bills is actually possible with the use of spray foam insulation. These are some of the costs that should really be considered as future investments, especially for Toronto residents. Spray foam insulation costs depend on what type of spray foam is used and the amount that is applied. You can choose between insulating your whole house or just a part of it.

Spray foam insulation is considered the best alternative to fiberglass insulation during construction or construction plans. The type of foam used in this insulation method is flexible and expandable and is easy to spray on existing wall cavities during construction or on roofs.

Q: Does spray foam shrink over time?

Similar to foam board insulation, spray foam will shrink and expand over time responding to different temperatures. However, this is a normal thing to happen and it does not mean that your insulation will break down.

We offer two main types of spray foam: open-cell spray foam insulation and closed-cell spray foam insulation

Open-cell residential and commercial spray foam is made of tiny cells that have small openings, creating an excellent air barrier. 

 Open cell spray foam interior applications

• Permits bi-directional drying
• Will accommodate long-term creep and seasonal movement
• Hydrophobic material
• Air barrier and insulating material
• Can be installed at a significantly lower cost and target the same specified R-value*
• Can achieve greater R-value
• Lower raw material/resource use

Closed-cell residential and commercial spray foam has a higher density of cells that are much more compact.

Closed cell spray foam exterior applications

• Can be applied at very low temperatures
• Adds wall racking strength as well as impact resistance
• Ideal for continuous insulation solutions
• Higher R-value* per inch  – easier to accommodate high R-value* requirements in narrow spaces
• Lower vapor permeance
• Can reject bulk water
• Higher tensile and bond strength

Benefits of Spray Foam

• Our spray foam will seal all cracks and joints inside your walls, preventing air from flowing into your home and creating an annoying draft.
• Improve energy efficiency – This spray foam helps you save big on your energy bill. You can reduce your heating and cooling costs by as much as 50 percent.
• Lower heating and cooling efforts – With our spray foam insulation, you’ll reduce the wear and tear on your HVAC system because it won’t have to work as hard.
• Decrease the dust in your home
• Keep things quiet – Live in a noisy neighborhood? Residential spray foam absorbs sound from the outside and prevents it from reaching inside your home.
• Increase air quality
• Longer lasting – The spray foam that we use, does not settle, keeping your home properly insulated. 
• Happy clients

Types of Blown-In Insulation

• Fiberglass loose-fill insulation is made of glass and sand that are spun or “blown” into fibers. We use this type of insulation because it is great for wall cavities and attics. It can properly insulate an area and protect it too from moisture which could lead to the formation of fungus and mildew. And that’s what our clients want. In this age of recycling, most manufacturers use 20% to 30% recycled glass. Most quality loose-fill fiberglass will not only prevent moisture from seeping in the house but the material itself will not rot as it won’t absorb moisture. Fiberglass has a high R-value, non flammable, non-corrosive, pest-resistant and non-combustible.

• Cellulose loose-fill insulation is a very popular choice as a material. It is eco-friendly and safe for human contact. Another thing that our clients aim for. Cellulose is generally made from 85% recycled newsprint, shredded and treated with fire retardant.  Ammonium sulfate and borate are the chemicals used as fire retardants and these chemicals also prevent pests’ infestation and mold.  When choosing a brand of cellulose, we don’t recommend those that contain mineral fibers and formaldehyde. Dry cellulose is a wise choice for insulating existing cavity walls for it will definitely fill up all the gaps and cracks without causing discomfort to the persons doing the insulation.  The R-value of cellulose is high.

• Rock wool loose-fill insulation is made from minerals and rocks.  It is actually similar to fiberglass but instead of being spun from glass and sand, it is spun from slag and other rock-like materials. Rock wool is also known as slag insulation, mineral wool insulation or stone wool insulation. This insulator can definitely block heat, condensation and sound and does not rot or absorb moisture.

Advantages

Adding insulation in an attic can be done from our experts by hauling unfaced rolls of fiberglass insulation into an attic and unrolling them to form an uninterrupted blanket across the attic floor. Blown-in insulation offers a much faster way to significantly improve your attic insulation. In a matter of an hour or two, our specialist can blow a thick blanket of loose insulation across the floor of the attic using a single hose run up through the attic hatch. For wall cavities, blown-in insulation is the only practical way to improve the R-value of stud cavities, short of removing entire wall surfaces to install faced fiberglass batts.

Blown-in cellulose insulation is a favorite among our clients who prefer green products, since the material is made entirely from recycled paper and wood products, with few synthetic processes or chemicals involved.

Installing new insulation in your attic or walls can help you save a lot of money. For example: a well insulated home forces your furnace or air conditioning to work during the coldest or warmest times of the year. Less load means fewer repairs, a longer lifespan, and a more efficient machine.

Attic insulation lowers energy bills making it possible to prevent air leaks and keep your air conditioning in. Good insulation benefits in the summer months too – it helps keep the heat of the sun from absorbing into your home and increasing your indoor temperatures.

When is it Time to Replace my Attic Insulation?

Knowing when to replace your insulation is not something that you can just look at. You need a professional who can accurately assess it for damage or degradation like Eco Spray insulation is.

Removing old insulation has beneficial effects to your home – not only will heat, sound, condensation, or mold problems improve or disappear, but any dust or allergens created by decaying material will be removed. At Eco Spray Insulation, our teams perform a thorough inspection with each attic insulation removal and installation, ensuring that any problems that may be causing insulation or become damaged are fixed before new materials are installed.

Here are some of the signs that your attic requires an upgrade.

Inconsistent Temperature

Every homeowner wants their HVAC system to be able to keep a consistent temperature throughout your home. If you have to keep adjusting your thermostat program, it means that some of the insulation in your attic needs to be replaced. It could have shifted, broken down, or worn away allowing cold air to get in through the roof of your home and not letting your HVAC system do its job.First example that you will save money by insulating your attic.

Higher Utility Bills

Poor insulation in your attic or crawl spaces or around your ductwork will allow cold air to come into the home and also cause the warm air to escape out of your ductwork. When this occurs, your HVAC system will have to run more and work harder to give you appropriate temperature. The harder your system has to work, the less efficient it will run, which will lead to an increase in your monthly energy bills.

Pest Infestations

Unfortunately, squirrels, mice, snakes, rats, bats, and other pests like to burrow into it and make safe and warm nests for their babies. When this occurs, they will not only destroy parts by chewing through it but also contaminate it by leaving grime and fecal matter. If you have pests in your attic, you need to make sure that you remove all the insulation they were around and replace it. Of course, homeowners will need to remove the pests first as humanely as possible, so it might be worth letting a professional company do this for you. Some companies actually offer humane rat removal so homeowners should really prioritize companies that offer this sort of service.Once the pests are removed, it’s worth replacing your attic insulation.This means more money in your pocket.

Wet or Dampness

If your insulation has become moist, damp, or wet from either a leak in the roof or broken pipes, you should replace it. When it becomes wet, it releases mycotoxins into the air, destroying your indoor air quality. Once any moisture is in touch with your insulation just replace it. Insulating your roof with insulation means that you won’t have these kinds of problems. Spend that money on other things because your attic is secure now!

Drafts or Cold Spots

Especially in the attic, poor or damaged insulation can allow drafts to enter your home. This occurs when the material does not create enough blockage between the outside air and the indoor atmosphere. If you notice drafts in the house and have checked your doors and windows, the likely culprit could be damaged insulation.

What Types Are Available?

At EcoSpray, we commonly recommend two different types of blown-in attic insulation – making for a quick, clean, and painless installation.

• Fiberglass Insulation – This is the most common type, and comes in batts or fills. It is relatively inexpensive, easy to install, non-flammable, and moisture resistant, though it can break down and become damaged easily by pests. It’s made from glass spun like cotton candy. As a blown-in product, fiberglass does especially well for an inadequately insulated attic where a top-up is needed. 
• Cellulose Insulation – This type of insulation is wood and paper loose fill that is blown into the open space. One of the benefits of cellulose is that it is easy to fill it in when more is needed, but it does absorb moisture. It offers great R-Values and, as a recycled product, it offers an eco-friendly option for home renovation. Blown-in cellulose insulation is made of post-consumer recycled paper goods that have been treated with borates (a naturally occurring mineral) to be both pest and fire resistant.
• Spray Foam Insulation – Spray foam insulation is both water and pest resistant and has the benefit of being able to be easily installed around any shapes and still fit tightly. The drawbacks of spray foam are that it can be more costly and requires professional installation.

Energy Savings: Insulation Reduces Energy Costs

A properly designed and installed insulation system immediately reduces the need for energy and results in significant savings.

A properly designed, insulated, and maintained system significantly reduces energy costs, which saves money and protects the environment. An unbelievable amount of energy is lost through uninsulated valves, bare pipes, or defective insulation.

Insulation Is a Quick Payback

A properly designed and installed insulation system provides an excellent return on investment and quick payback through cost savings. Insulation is a low-risk investment because the savings and the payback can be forecasted with a high degree of accuracy. 

Insulation is one of the few technologies where the payback for the investment is considered more than acceptable when compared to many other equipment or maintenance purchases. If the insulated system is properly installed, the savings from the investment continue for the life of the facility.

Control Condensation with Insulation

When you insulate your attic with a good vapor retarder, the insulation controls condensation and limits corrosion on cold piping, ducts, chillers, and roof drains. Sufficient thickness is needed to keep the surface temperature above the dew point temperature of the ambient air.

1. Keep surface temperatures above the dew point.
2. Prevent costly moisture damage to building materials.
3. Prevent mold and mildew growth.
4. Reduce energy costs for operating chillers and refrigeration equipment.

Process Control with Insulation

A properly specified and installed insulation system on bare process lines and equipment can increase the efficiency of a process system by as much as 95% or more.

Use insulation to:

1. Maintain process temperatures;
2. Improve product QC; and
3. Improve operating safety.

Protect the Environment by Reducing Pollutant Emissions with Insulation

Insulation reduces energy consumption, which means that less fossil fuel is burned to produce that energy. This, in turn, decreases the amount of polluting gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. This product is very friendly and protective. It’s 100% eco friendly.

Fire Protection

Used in combination with other materials, insulation helps provide fire protection in firestop systems, grease, and air ducts, and in electrical and communications conduits and cables. So in case of the fire, your home is very protected and you won’t spend money to rebuild it. Spray foam insulation is the best choice that you could do.

Improved Appearance

Insulation covering exposed air conditioning and plumbing lines gives a finished appearance to a building.

Noise Control with Insulation

A well-insulated system helps reduce noise levels by:

• Absorbing emitted sound;
• Eliminate the  sound at the source
• Improving the work environment by improving worker morale and communication.

Noise is a very disturbing thing, Homeowners want to have a very comfortable and cozy environment, some of them can buy houses away from the city noises, from the noisy streets. But not everybody has the chance to do this. Instead, they can insulate their homes and get rid of the disturbing sounds.

How and Why Is Insulation Used to Control Sound?

This is possible to happen if our team installs sound-attenuation materials.

The purposes of applying sound-attenuation materials are to:

1. Reduce obnoxious noise levels emitting from machines, equipment, pipelines, or enclosures;
2. Reduce the general noise level in plant areas;
3. Provide for better work conditions; and

Increase Space Efficiency with Insulation

A well-insulated system will:

• Reduce capacity and size of new mechanical equipment;
• Reduce capital cost of equipment;
• Reduce space required for equipment; and
• Reduce maximum electrical loads, meaning reduced electrical rates for industrial and commercial users.

What is Home Insulation? And How Does Insulation Work?

Any insulation aims to accomplish the same goal which is to: reduce the transfer of heat into or out of your house. There are many different types of insulation materials (polystyrene, mineral wool, fiberglass, etc.) and the methods of applying it ( loose-fill, trolls of batting, spray-in foam, and more) and the right sort of insulation depends on your home and needs.

Insulation works by trapping tiny pockets of air to slow down the movement of heat out of the home in the winter and into the home in the summer. It is measured by a number called “R-Value”, how well it does, and the higher the number the better the insulation is at resisting heat transfer. With Eco Spray, home insulation can be both eco-efficient and cost-efficient. These two factors are crucial and a must-need for many homeowners in Toronto. So lower your utility bills with home insulation, by calling Eco Spray Insulation today!

Mapping Energy Loss in Homes

It is important to understand the heating and cooling mechanism inside the home and how energy losses occur daily before digging into which areas in your home require insulation. You will spot many areas which allow air to seep in and indoor air to escape by conducting a simple thorough walk-through of your home. This is how the heat from the outdoors is transferred to your home and then to your body. Three processes are involved, namely conduction, radiation and the last one convection. Heat is carried away by air, which absorbs and rises. Then the warmed air rises around you while cooler air moves in to take its place and takes in more of your body’s warmth.

Use Insulation to Reduce Your Utility Bills

Lowering your energy usage is good for the environment and of course, comes with the really nice side benefit of lowering your fixed costs. Since cooling and heating consume more than half your household energy expense, it is the first target for conservation.

So, if you really want to reduce your utility bills, check out what you can do with home insulation:

• Insulate Your Attic – Heat rises, which means that in the cold of winter a good part of the heat your HVAC system is generating, eventually rises to the highest point in your home. In case your attic is not well-insulated, much of that heat will escape through the roof. The loss forces your HVAC system to work harder to maintain your house’s temperature and you will feel that pinch in your wallet.
• Insulate The Top Floor Ceiling – Insulating the attic space will certainly help reduce your costs, however, your unheated Garrett will still remain cooler than the rest of the house and thus a magnet for the rising warmth. Consider dampening the power of this magnet by insulating the top floor ceiling, it will keep all that cozy warmth that your HVAC system is generating where it belongs, in the “living” zone.
• Insulate DuctWork in Unheated Spaces – HVAC ductwork in unheated attics, crawl spaces or basement are also susceptible to ambient heat loss to the surrounding air. Insulating the ductwork will reduce heat loss ( thus energy) and make the system more efficient, and work at less cost.

Upgrade your Insulation

Over the years building codes change, and they are changing ever faster due to the attention being paid to energy efficiency. This means that older homes tend to be less insulated than newer construction. Can be tricky retro-fitting insulation in older homes because of the need to avoid trapping moisture that may promote rot as well as trapping air that can cause “back-drafting”. If you have a drafty older home, consider calling Eco Spray Insulation to install proper insulation. Don’t forget to check out the area around your windows and doors, while you are working on insulating your home. Replacing old doors or windows with new ones and caulking spaces around the frames can also help insulate your home from leaking energy losses.

Homeowners should also ensure that their insulation upgrades are appropriate to the home’s overall design. It is important to give a lot of thought to the material and the possible hazards that come with each. For instance, in fiberglass insulation, improper handling could pose safety issues. Some insulation products such as foam, fibers, and beads also pose fire and health hazards. The area and building components before installing insulation should be complete, clean, dry, and structurally sound.

Hiring a reputable insulation company like Eco Spray takes this burden off your shoulders and ensures that your investment is worthwhile, beneficial, and safe. Nothing could be better than being enveloped in warmth in the cold days of winter. Insulating these places in your home enables you to save money and maximize efficiency gains from the top down all while ensuring comfort.

How to Compare Different Types of Insulation

A label on each type of insulation states the R-Value per inch, which is a measure of resistance to heat transfer. As we have mentioned above, the bigger the number, the more effective the insulation. You need a high R-Value per inch where space is tight such as within wall cavities. Under a floor or in an attic, you can boost the insulation value of a lower-rated material simply by using a thicker layer. As a rule, the more money you will save, the more insulation you add. There is a point beyond which you can spend more on materials than you will recoup in lower energy bills.

What exactly is Spray Foam Insulation and why should I choose it over other insulation types?

Is your attic too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer? And does your HVAC system struggle to keep up with the outside temperature? As a spray foam insulation company, Eco Spray Insulation understands that choosing insulation for your home can be a daunting prospect, but nearly a decade of experience in installing spray foam insulation has shown us that our product is one of the best options for you, offering superior insulating capability and a host of other benefits as well.

Spray foam is one of the most well-known materials used for insulating residential and commercial buildings. The primary reason for its superiority over other insulation products are his air sealing properties. Your attic is your largest opportunity to save energy and to improve comfort in your house. You can stop many major air leaks and help maintain the desired temperature throughout your home by air sealing your attic with spray foam. There are dozens of holes around your plumbing, recessed lights and electric lights. Actually, there are so many holes that when added together, they equal the size of an open door that allows the outside air to come in. If you have duct work in your attic, insulating your roof system with spray foam insulation eliminates heat loss or gain through leaky ducts.

Eco Spray Insulation has hired an experienced staff and provides ongoing training to its technicians so our product is applied smoothly and safely, making sure that the curves and corners of your house are evenly coated. 

Types of Spray Foam Insulation

There are types of spray foam insulation used in residential and commercial applications – open cell and closed cell. With open cell spray foam insulation, the foam is composed of tiny cells that aren’t closed all the way, thus creating a sponge-like appearance. Open cell spray foam insulation is useful as an air barrier, it doesn’t block water vapor and only gets used in interior wall applications, outside applications are not recommended for this type of insulation. Closed cell spray foam insulation is much denser than the alternative, retaining the ability to block water vapor and serving as a better air barrier. Closed cell spray foam is more expensive than open cell, it can be used anywhere in the house and it is most commonly utilized in roofing/outdoor applications. 

Spray foam insulation as with anything else, comes with a set of pros and cons, which are:

PROS

• Moisture Protection – Closed cell spray foam insulation when it is utilized to its fullest extent, helps to prevent moisture from overcoming a space. Which means that mold and mildew instances will be reduced and can improve indoor air quality.
• Reduced Energy Costs – We all know that proper insulation can help to reduce energy costs within a house or commercial setting to a large degree. Spray foam insulation, when used effectively can help to keep utility bills low and prevent costly overutilization of energy.
• Lessened Noise – Spray foam insulation can help to reduce noise within a house, which can help to make for a more comfortable living environment.

CONS

• Health Effects – Spray foam insulation contains chemicals and that can be irritating to those who are sensitive, it can sometimes cause adverse health effects over time. But this can be prevented through proper installation and by taking the whole house into consideration as a connected system during the design process.
• Pricing –  Spray foam insulation can be more expensive than conventional forms of insulation, so it can be difficult to afford for those who are on a tight budget but well worth the investment.
• Expansion Damage – Spray foam insulation, in some cases, can expand after being installed, which means that damage can occur to walls in the areas it is sprayed. With proper installation techniques by a certified spray foam specialist, this too can be avoided.
