Lapolla Spray Foam Insulation Products

A Global Supplier of Top Quality Spray Foam Products

What is Spray Foam?

Air moves in and out of a home through every hole, crack, and crevice. Roughly 33% of air infiltrates through walls, ceiling, and floors. Adding an advanced insulation system is necessary to achieve optimal building performance. Lapolla is that advanced insulation system.

Spray foam insulation can maximize a homeowner’s investment by sealing the building envelope to stop conditioned indoor air from escaping and prevent unconditioned air from entering a home. Air exchange in and out of a home is a leading cause of escalated energy bills. The mechanical systems that heat and cool buildings are continuously operating; reducing extreme temperature variations saves on the overuse of mechanical systems and leads to lower energy bills.

Climate Challenges for Building Insulation

Using the right kind of insulation for your home or business can help you cut significant energy costs and save money over the course of your ownership. And nothing impacts this decision more than your region’s climate.

For property owners in the United States, there are several important considerations to make based on your climate. Read on to discover what Lapolla’s top insulation experts recommend for residents of Texas, Florida, California, New York, Arizona, and North Dakota.

Where Do Buildings Lose Energy?

Air flows in and out of a building through every hole, crack and crevice–roughly 33% of it infiltrates through walls, ceilings and floors. This exchange of air is the leading cause of escalated energy bills. The mechanical systems that heat and cool buildings are continuously operating; reducing extreme temperature variations minimizes the strain on these systems and leads to lower energy bills.

Lapolla’s advanced spray foam insulation system works by sealing the building envelope to prevent conditioned indoor air from escaping, as well as unconditioned, outdoor air from entering.

Superior energy efficiency mostly depends on creating a better air “seal.” Wall insulation is a significant issue toward energy savings, but there are other factors that will lower a structure’s efficiency. As much as 40% of energy loss is due to air infiltration. Therefore, the most effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort in your home or commercial property is to seal it with foam.

Moisture Control – Doors and Windows: Water and moisture in the building envelope is the single, greatest threat to building durability in residential construction. In addition to causing building-durability issues, moisture can create ideal conditions for mold growth, which can dramatically impact occupant health.
Air Leakage – Ceilings, Outer Walls Floors and Crawlspaces: Unsealed, responsible for about a third of the air leakage in a building.

Let’s Compare The Most Popular Building Insulation Products

	Spray Foam Insulation	Fiberglass Insulation	Cellulose Insulation
How Does It Work?	Spray polyurethane foam acts as a barrier between the home and outside, creating a seal that can conform to any architectural design	Traps air inside tiny glass fibers that contain small bubbles of air, which slows the transfer of heat.	Made of shredded newspaper and a fire retardant chemical (borate), the paper is broken down into cellular fibers.
Keep conditioned air and heat sealed inside your home:	Yes	No	No
Installation Method:	Sprayed by a certified spray foam applicator, spray foam can adapt to any structural design.	Folded, wrapped and cut to place in walls. Slanted and/or high ceilings and outlets can lengthen installation time.	Cellulose insulation is blown into walls. The material requires small amounts of water and glue to keep it in place.
R-Value:	6-6.6 per inch	2.2 per inch; loses up to R-Value 50% if it becomes damp	3.5-3.8 per inch
Performance in Cold/Hot:	Excellent thermal properties and a sealant for your home that keeps warm and conditioned air in your home year round.	Doesn’t hold in heat well. Loses 40% of insulating capacity when outside temperatures are below 20° F	Doesn’t stop air leakage by sealing. Weather will cause wind and air pressure to enter through the small holes in the insulation.
Energy Efficiency:	Most efficient	Less Efficient	Less Efficient for your keeping your home insulated, even though it’s made from recycled newspaper
Health Hazards:	Polyurethane spray foam insulation consists of diisocyanate, which isn’t scientifically detectable after 1 hour of when the foam ins applied. Installing spray foam requires a professional certification and proper equipment to install it.	Fiberglass can be installed by anyone. Due to its long process for insulating around electrical outlets and windows, often insulation isn’t completed properly. Leaky ducts can pull loose fiberglass insulation and spread its particles throughout your home. Its small particles can be inhaled and cause serious respiratory conditions. The resin that bonds fiberglass can also emit small amounts of toxic fumes.	Not sealing your home means dirt and moisture can cause mold, mildew and bacteria to grow. Blown cellulose insulation is prone to create dust that is then blown through cracks in the walls and creates a health hazard.

What Kind Of Home Insulation Solutions Do You Provide?

Retrofit Insulation

Re-insulating part, or all, of your home. Through our energy assessment, we present to you the parts of your home that require the most insulation to decrease your energy loss. Usually this involves adding spray foam insulation to your attic, crawl space(s) and/or walls.

You can also retrofit part of your home that has never had insulation. We’ll assess these areas and provide a spray foam insulation estimate to maintain a low energy use. Occasionally homeowners need a wall, ceiling or flooring insulated to prevent drafts.

New Home Insulation

Have a new home being built, or have construction already in progress? Request for a spray foam estimate once the foundation and frame have been completed. Our insulators can provide an estimate at this level of construction.

Home Energy Assessment

Contact us today! Our insulators can provide a swift response at all phases of construction, whether you’re at the conceptual phase or if construction is already underway.

A home energy assessment helps owners determine where their house is losing energy and money – and how such problems can be corrected to make the home more energy efficient. The estimate will include checking for air leaks, examining insulation, inspecting the furnace and duct work, performing a blower door test and using an infrared camera.
