How much does SEALECTION™ 500 system cost?

SEALECTION 500 is considered to be more expensive than most conventional insulation; however SEALECTION 500 cannot be compared to conventional insulation. When using the SEALECTION 500 spray foam insulation system it actually air seals the building and eliminates energy robbing air leakage and the associated problems with moisture, mold and mildew, and condensation problems inside the walls. When calculating the actual cost, you need to consider the possible need to downsize the HVAC systems, eliminate building wraps, and eliminate a significant portion of the material and labor costs associated with an air sealing approach. It is erroneous to compare the cost of loose fill insulation to that of SEALECTION 500 spray foam insulation system. The invested premium to upgrade from standard fiberglass is an insignificant part of the overall cost of a home and your long-term energy costs. When you are planning to install an upgraded insulation package, remember that SEALECTION 500 is more expensive but it provides you with the best performance and comfort value. The additional upfront costs typically pay for themselves in energy savings within three years and will keep on saving you money every year thereafter. Your builder wants you to build the very best house; be patient and persistent if he is unfamiliar with our product, but ask for the product by name, SEALECTION 500.

Are there any issues around overheating of electric wiring?

There is no special requirement needed to encapsulate electrical wires other than what is required with all types of insulation. As with other types of insulation such as fiberglass and/or cellulose, when the properly rated size and type of electrical wires are used, there is no over heating of those electrical wires.

Are there any compatibility concerns with other building materials?

SEALECTION 500 is stable in the presence of most solvents found in binders, bituminous materials, wood preservatives, and sealers. It is resistant to facers containing plasticizers, fuel, mineral oil, weak acid, and weak bases, which are typically found in residential and light commercial construction materials.

Does SEALECTION™ 500 adhere to metal studs?

SEALECTION 500 adheres well to steel studs and other natural materials such as cement board, wood, etc. commonly found in residential and light commercial construction. Since SEALECTION 500 will adhere to almost all surfaces in the home, areas that do not require SEALECTION 500 insulation such as windows, doors etc. must be protected from over-spray.

Is it possible for a homeowner to install SEALECTION™ 500 on their own?

SEALECTION 500 insulation must be installed by an Approved Applicator with specialized proportioning equipment. The installer has been trained to work with the chemicals involved and has also been trained in the building science to provide the best installation possible.
