Alabama Air & Vapor Insulation

sprayfoam-article1

Huntsville, Alabama: Older traditional methods of insulation were inferior and sometimes unhealthy. Newer methods of insulation have been replaced with more efficient means of insulating a commercial building using a closed cell spray foam insulation which creates a seamless air and moisture barrier. Most exterior wall constructions generally built of concrete block masonry, ISO board, vapor barrier or brick masonry. The use of spray foam insulation in Huntsville, Alabama and it's surrounding cities, for commercial or residential insulation applications is quickly becoming the choice of professionals. The spray foam application is so much cleaner, faster and overall easier to work with and provides a better solution.

Green Earth Services of Huntsville services the following cities: Albertville, Ardmore, Athens, Cullman, Decatur, Gadsden, Gurley, Fort Payne, Hartselle, Harvest, Hazel Green, Huntsville, Madison, Meridianville, Moores Mill, New Hope, New Market, Owens Cross Roads, Red Stone Arsenal and Scottsboro.

Typically, air barriers keep out the flow of air into and out of a buildings. This building enclosure consists of walls, roofs and floors. By using a spray foam application, a contractor has less labor than he would from installing ISO board. In the past, installing traditional insulation meant adhering ISO board to the brick masonry, cutting around the brick ties, and stuffing in mineral wool or fiberglass insulation, the taping all seams and holes. Green Earth Services of Huntsville's spray foam insulation has only one step, spraying the foam.

This spray foam insulation application creates an envelope that protects the building from air leakage and moisture invasion which helps keep the building healthier for the occupants and adds strength and longevity to the building itself. This air barrier system protects against the air leakage and the diffusion of air caused by weather, wind, stack and mechanical equipment pressures.

Green Earth Services of Huntsville Spray Foam Insulated Air Barrier Systems provide a seamless, monolithic air barrier that wraps around odd shapes and valleys and allows easy detailing around what would have been penetrations with batting insulation such as pipes, windows, doors and sheathing fasteners. Spray Foam Insulation air barriers mean long building durability, better energy efficiency, and to the people inside the commercial building, more comfort with added health and safety.

Green Earth Services of Huntsville Spray Foam insulation offers the highest level of thermal insulation while at the same time providing a fully sealed air and moisture barrier. The Spray Foam Insulation application makes construction faster while reducing labor costs. It is a win-win situation.

Older insulation systems such as such as fiberglass battings are more labor intensive, are less efficient at insulating the building and are open to tears and air and moisture leaks.

It has been proven that conditioned air (heated, cooled or filtered) leaks out of a building, and unconditioned air leaks into a building, energy consumption to re-condition the remaining air increases dramatically, resulting in increased energy consumption costs of up to 30%-40% in heating climates and 10-15% in cooling costs.

However, commercial or residential buildings Green Earth Services installed spray foam insulation air barrier systems can be fitted with smaller HVAC systems since the buildings don't leak. The cost of a smaller mechanical equipment can offset the cost of the spray foam insulation air barrier system plus permanently reduce energy costs and increase equity.

Green Earth Services of Huntsville Spray Foam Insulation Air barrier systems can keep out pollutants and other contaminants entering the building or the building enclosure as well as water vapor, suspended particulates, dust, insects, odors/smells. Water vapors that leak into the building (from the inside in heating climates and from the outside in cooling climates) can condensate and forms liquid water causing corrosion and the growth of mold.
