Why Spray Foam Insulation?

Spray Foam Insulation can help you save thousands on your electric bills. Spray Foam reaches places regular insulation can't reach.

Spray Foam Insulation adheres to your wall with ease and won't droop or need to be replaced. It fits perfectly because it is custom to your house.

Can SEALECTION™ 500 be applied in an existing wall?

We do not recommend that SEALECTION 500 be applied in existing walls. However, we have had good results in using SEALECTION 500 in the attic and in the crawl space (if applicable) without disturbing the walls in a retrofit application. The reason is that a large portion of your energy loss is caused by the "chimney effect" - hot air rises, therefore creating air movement within a house.

What is the R-Value of a SEALECTION™ 500 insulated wall or ceiling?

R-Values of insulating materials are measured in laboratories and are designated a nominal R-Value per inch. In the wall or ceiling of a building most factory-made insulation materials suffer a reduction in performance due to air leakage and infiltration. The insulating value of many building components may be as low as 50% of the nominal R-Value of the insulation they contain. By contrast, the insulation of a wall containing SEALECTION 500 insulation will perform closely to that of the laboratory tested R-Value of the material, and it seals the wall cavity from air infiltration as well. The SEALECTION 500 insulation system is particularly suited for steel or wood frame construction. SEALECTION 500 expands 120:1 as it is installed, adhering to surrounding building components. It completely seals joints, crevices and voids, including difficult-to-insulate spaces such as steel stud "U" and "C" sections, double studs, and non-standard stud locations.

What is the R-value of SEALECTION™ 500?

The R-Values of SEALECTION 500 insulation is rated at R-3.8 per inch. In a nominal 4-inch wall, the R-Value is about R-13, in a 6" wall about R-21.

Does SEALECTION™ 500 break down, sag or shrink?

No, SEALECTION 500 insulation is stable. It does not shrink or sag. The reaction that created SEALECTION 500 insulation is irreversible and it cannot break down into its constituent parts.

What are the advantages of SEALECTION™ 500?

As well as simplifying the construction process for the builder, SEALECTION 500 spray foam insulation eliminates the major causes of building envelope problems, air-borne moisture movement and entrapment. Blower door tests have shown that steel framed homes insulated with SEALECTION 500 spray foam insulation and with no polyethylene vapor barrier routinely measure under the 1.5 ACH50 rating for the most energy efficient home. Heating and cooling costs are typically reduced by 30 to 50%. Smaller and less expensive heating and cooling equipment (properly sized) can be used.

SEALECTION 500 is inert and stable over a long term. It will not settle or compact over time. It offers stable R-value and is chemically and physically stable under normal conditions between (-60�F and 180�F).
