What Does Insulation Do?
Before explaining why spray insulation is the best for insulating your home or business, we’d like to explain some things about how insulation works and why you need it. Learning more about insulation will help you make great insulation decisions. Insulation is any material installed between the inner and outer structures of a house or commercial property. Insulation installed between the floor and the basement, inside and outside walls, attic, and ceilings, or your attic and roof prevent air from moving. That means in the summer, hot air stays out, and when it’s cold outside, the heated air won’t escape as easily as it would with poor or no insulation. Your HVAC system goes beyond heating and cooling the air. It also filters it. Insulation keeps the filtered, healthy air in, and the untreated air, full of pollen, pollution, and other irritants, out.
When Mansfield Spray Foam Insulation contractors install insulation in your home or business in Mansfield, Ohio, the house or building becomes a more energy-efficient and healthy space. Because spray foam improves your air quality, it also helps to prevent illness and allergies. Besides improving the air and lowering energy bills, some insulation materials, like spray foam insulation, also provide additional benefits for Mansfield, Ohio homes. It adds sound insulation, keeps out pests, and prevents water from penetrating. Foam insulation also adds to the strength and durability of any building. Insulation improves daily life.

Why Do We Recommend Spray Foam Insulation
Other insulation types are available, including rolled or batted fiberglass, blown-in fiberglass or cellulose, rock wool, and rigid insulation board. We can give you eight great reasons to choose spray foam insulation for your Mansfield, Ohio home or business.
|
1. Most Effective InsulationThe insulation and building industries measure how well insulation performs and assigns a rating called an R-value. R-value or R-factor is higher per inch for spray foam insulation than most other insulation types. There are three levels of spray foam insulation: open cell, closed cell, and high density. R-value for closed-cell spray foam runs six or seven per inch. Open-cell is rated between 3.6 and 3.7. Loose fiberglass insulation, on the other hand, usually only rates between 2.2 and 2.9. Higher R-value equals better insulation.
Conditioned air stays in, and cold or hot outside air stays where it belongs. Mansfield Spray Foam Insulation in Mansfield, Ohio, can install spray foam insulation in any homes and commercial buildings throughout the Mansfield area. Even intricately shaped spaces around windows and skylights don’t pose a problem. Spray foam insulation starts as a liquid and can easily be applied anywhere insulation is needed. The liquid turns to foam and fills space, completely sealing every crack, hole, and crevice left by plumbers and electricians during construction. |

2. FastMansfield Spray Foam Insulation can usually install spray foam insulation into your home in Mansfield, Ohio, in as little as a day. They remove the old insulation and install the new within 24 hours. Commercial insulation installation might take slightly longer, but in either case, the foam dries within a few hours, and you can safely reenter within 24 hours of the installation.
3. Long-LastingYou must replace most insulation types like fiberglass rolls or blown cellulose when the material breaks down and becomes less effective. Water easily damages cellulose insulation because it is usually made from pulverized paper. Foam Insulation installed by Mansfield Spray Foam Insulation will continue insulating a Mansfield, Ohio building for as long as it stands. Because you don’t need to replace it, spray foam insulation is a green choice.

4. Water BarrierSpray foam insulation installed in a home or business in Mansfield, Ohio, prevents water from getting in, better than any other insulation. In fact, FEMA considers spray foam insulation a flood damage-resistant product. To qualify as a flood damage-resistant material, it must be able to withstand prolonged contact with water without suffering any major damage. If you are concerned about floods, you can read about the FEMA requirements and factors that affect flood insurance rates. Because spray foam insulation increases a Mansfield, Ohio structure’s strength, it helps reduce the possibility of damage from flooding. Spray Foam Insulation also helps reduce condensation accumulation in a Mansfield, Ohio home or building.
Attic or basement spaces not treated by an HVAC system trap water vapor produced by seasonal temperature changes. That water drips from the attic and damages walls and ceilings. Spray Insulation installed by Mansfield Spray Foam Insulation prevents dramatic temperature swings in these spaces, reducing the amount of condensation, preventing leaks, and saving on repair bills. |
|
5. Sound ProofingWhile any insulation buffers sound, adding spray foam insulation to your Mansfield, OH home or business building will give you the best soundproof insulation. The insulation starts as two liquids and hardens into a solid foam, filling every inch of space and creating denser walls. Your neighbor’s music or construction or traffic noise near your office will be less of a problem.
6. Structural StrengthThis advantage means less damage from high winds or violent storms. Spray insulation takes something hollow and makes it solid. Filling the walls and attic of a home in Mansfield, OH, with spray foam insulation makes that structure sturdier.

7. Repels PestsNo other insulating material prevents rodents and insects from getting in. When Mansfield Spray Foam Insulation installs insulation in a home or business in Mansfield, Ohio, they also block pests' access routes. Insects and rodents have a harder time getting in because the cracks and spaces are full of spray insulation.
8. Increases ValueAll of the other reasons for choosing spray foam insulation for your Mansfield, Ohio home or office add up to this last one. Today’s home buyers want well-insulated, healthy living spaces. No one wants to take on high heating and air conditioning bills. Commercial property buyers or leasers wish for low energy bills and healthy air quality, and comfortable temperatures for their employees. Having Mansfield Spray Foam Insulation install spray foam insulation in your Mansfield, Ohio home, commercial building, or agricultural structure makes the property more desirable and, therefore, increases the property's value.

What is R-Value?Builders and insulation contractors measure insulation's effectiveness by how well it resists or prevents heat from moving in or out of a building. The rating is expressed as its R-value or factor rating. R stands for resistance. The three levels of spray foam insulation have different R-factors, and the factor or resistance rises as the inches of thickness increases. One inch of closed-cell spray foam has a higher number than one inch of open-cell type.
An inch of high-density spray foam beats the other two types. Different climates around the country require different R-values. Our professionals know what spray foam insulation R-factor number to recommend in the Mansfield, Ohio climate for the different parts of your house. Learn more about R-value for your region. |

Which Spray Foam Type is Best?
There are three levels of spray foam insulation you can have installed in Mansfield, Ohio: Open Cell, Closed Cell, and High Density. Our insulation contractors know which to use in each part of your office or house. Each level or type has advantages and best uses.
|
Open Cell Spray Foam InsulationOpen Cell Spray Foam Insulation or low-density spray foam is a little softer and less compressed, so it is better at tolerating structural expansion and contraction caused by seasonal temperature changes.
Open-cell costs less than the other two options but provides the best soundproofing insulation. Mansfield Spray Foam Insulation may recommend open cell for your house in Mansfield, Ohio, to meet your budget limits, if you have noisy neighbors or, are annoyed by traffic and street sounds. |
|
Closed Cell Spray Foam InsulationClosed Cell Spray Foam Insulation is a medium density spray foam, meaning denser than open-cell insulation but not as dense as high density. Denser, closed-cell spray foam insulation protects a Mansfield, Ohio home, or commercial building better from flooding and wind damage.
The insulating ability (R-value) is higher per inch in closed-cell than open cell. We recommend this insulation type for interior wall cavity fill and unvented attic applications. |
|
High-Density Spray Foam InsulationHigh-Density Spray Foam Insulation is, as the name says, the highest in density of the three types. It’s also the most water repellant and has the highest degree of insulation per inch.
Commercial insulation contractors often use high-density spray foam insulation for exterior walls and roofing insulation in Mansfield, Ohio, commercial properties. |
Our insulation contractor professionals will recommend the best spray foam insulation choices for the different areas of your home or commercial structure in Mansfield, Ohio.

How Much Does Spray Foam Insulation Cost?The average cost to insulate the wall cavities and attic floors of a house runs between $1277 and $3678, depending on the house size and the foam level and thickness. Insulation installers use a measurement called board foot which is the same as square foot.
Open-cell spray foam insulation runs between .44 and .65 per board foot and closed-cell costs between $1 and $1.50 per board foot, depending on how thick it is. For example, it could cost between $1,500 and $2,250 to install closed-cell insulation in a 1,500 square foot space. There may be additional labor costs for removing old insulation and other prep work. |
