History of Spray Foam Insulation
Humankind is always looking for a better solution for a variety of needs and situations, and home insulation is no different. This desire has led to many alternatives to the standard fiberglass insulation that has been used since the 1930s. Here at 31-W Insulation, we watched as spray foam insulation came into the picture and added it to our offering when we saw that it was a viable and desirable insulation alternative for residential and commercial properties.
The most common form of spray foam insulation is polyurethane, and it was used long before it made the graduation to insulation use. It was first developed by the military to be used on airplanes in the 1940s. It was 30 years later before spray foam insulation was used. It might surprise you that it has been around since the 1970s, but since we started in 1972, we can tell you definitively that is the case, although it didn’t take off in popularity until several years later.
Today there are both open-cell and closed-cell options for spray home insulation, with each having advantages and ideal uses. For example, closed-cell is more compact and denser, so it is able to be used for outdoor applications, whereas open-cell is used primarily for interior walls where a sound barrier is desired. Both products are very good air barriers, but if you also want a water vapor barrier, you would require closed-cell foam insulation. Contact us today to learn more about spray foam insulation and its advantages for home and business use.
Spray foam is a great insulation choice for your home for many different reasons.
Best insulation company.
“Best insulation company. They came out to my house and helped me out a lot and gave me a price, and they also called me a day before to make sure my house was ready for insulation. They came out the next day and did awesome work. This is a good company. I also used them for shower doors. I will use 31-W Insulation again.”
