Spray foam is made from polyurethane and isocyanate which, when combine, expand and harden. The spray foam process begins by spraying both materials simultaneously from the spray foam gun. Spray foam comes in two varieties, one that is more dense and the other which is softer and offers more of the "sound-proofing" effect. Since spray foam expands by nature, it has an air-tight seal that makes it a very effective insulator. The more effective your insulation is, the more energy you will save because the temperature in your home can be more controlled.
Invented in the 1930s, fiberglass is a plastic material that's reinforced with tiny glass fibers and used in a variety of applications, from insulation and roofing shingles to highway guard rails, golf clubs, fishing poles and boats.
Spray foam insulation combined with Low E glass in the windows will yield you 40-60% lower utility bills than using conventional insulation.
When you think of the word "strong," metal is probably one of the first things that pops into your mind, right? But did you know that fiberglass is just as strong, even stronger? In fact, pound for pound, fiberglass is even stronger than sheet metal.
Compared to traditional cellulose and fiberglass insulation types, spray foam outdoes them all! It is more cost efficient, easier to apply, and offers better insulation! Spray foam also kills mold on contact and reduces future mold growth!
Today’s fiberglass shingles consist of fiberglass mats that have been coated with asphalt. This process makes them incredibly water and wind resistant, as well as resistant to mold. In addition, these roofing shingles are flexible and lightweight.
