Spray Foam Insulation Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Goldvein, VA needed some insulation in his home. Heat moves from more to less - out of a building in winter and into a building in summer. Insulation is needed to slow this heat flow down.  Closed cell spray foam adheres to all surfaces, expands in place, and air cannot pass through it. It is superior insulation with an R-value of 6.3 per inch. Closed cell spray foam weighs 2 lbs per cubic foot and special equipment is used to spray it. 

This before photo shows a vertical wall in an attic insulated with fiberglass insulation. This fiberglass allows hot/cold air to travel through it and touch the drywall, thus allowing the heat and/or cold to transfer into the living space.

The after picture shows the fiberglass removed and newly insulated using closed cell spray foam.  This builds a great protective thermal and air barrier and makes the top floor of this home cooler in the summer months.

This homeowner in Leesburg VA was experiencing comfort issues in several areas of their home.  They called us to try and find out why.  Our Home Performance Sales Pro Carl went out to do a full home inspection and see what options we could offer to help make the home more comfortable.  Along with insulation improvements in several other areas, Carl determined that it would be helpful to insulate the metal laundry chute running out of the laundry room and through the attic.  This was due to excessive drafts in the laundry room and uneven temperatures compared to other areas of the home.  Our production team prepared the area and then used spray foam to cover and seal the laundry chute.  

Skylights are beautiful, but can increase heat loss/gain tremendously, just like in this Leesburg, VA home. Especially if they are not properly air sealed and insulated on the back side of them in the attic above.

A roofing company contacted us to insulate a flat roof during the process of them replacing it. These pictures show the before and after of Comfenergy's portion of the project.
