5 truths about SPF insulation – #1: SPF insulation is very comfortable.
Research shows that up to 40% of a building’s energy loss is due to air infiltration. (American Chemistry Council) As an example, if the 113 million single-family homes in the U.S. installed SPF insulation, Americans could save up to $33 billion in energy costs every year. SPF insulation’s expansive and flexible installation allows insulation to seal and insulate any crack, crevice, or opening in your building structure.
Closed-cell SPF is the most energy-efficient form of SPF insulation, which is why it is the preferred form of SPF used for commercial roofing solutions. SPF is installed in liquid format where it quickly expands up to thirty times its liquid density upon contact. The closed-cell nature encapsulates gas pockets throughout the foam structure, which cannot be as easily influenced by external temperatures like air pockets in open-cell SPF insulation.
Many business owners use SPF insulation as commercial roofing solutions. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees the Energy-STAR program. The EPA estimates that adding SPF insulation and reducing air leaks could automatically save you up to 20% off your monthly energy costs. Business owners across St. Louis notice an immediate reduction in energy expenses after installing a closed-cell SPF roofing solution on their building.
