Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation
Closed-cell spray foam insulation offers the greatest U-value per inch of all insulation materials and it eliminates air gaps in the building envelope that you experience with conventional insulation. This means better control of moisture, drafts, noise and other environmental effects. With closed-cell foam spray insulation you will benefit from lower utility bills for both heating and cooling for the life of your home.
In comparison to Fibreglass insulation the closed cell foam outperforms by a factor of 2:1 in real heat loss. Here's why: Fibreglass insulation will absorb moisture in the roof/attic area due to normal water vapour transmission unless the vapour barriers are caulked and sealed and NO penetrations exist which is not possible with breathable felt membrane. Add the air infiltration resistance of foam insulation (air infiltration accounts for 35 to 40% of your heat loss) and the closed cell spray foams from foametix are a hands down winner over fibreglass products.
Also with the introduction of the new Carbon Tax law in Ireland who wants to pay more tax? Or heating being lost through the roof or inferior insulation products that will need to be changed every 5-8 years and may be carcinogen to your health. Closed cell insulation is the future and the future is here in Europe.
