There are a lot of options when it comes to insulation. And when its time to find the right solution for your needs, you can lean on the experts at Diversified Insulation. Our team has years of experience creating customized solutions for home owners and business owners alike. Generally, we've found that spray foam insulation is one of the best materials to use when insulating a pole barn, home or commerical building. Closed cell spray foam simultaneously seals up air leakages and provides a vapor barrier with a high R-value. When applied by a professional, spray foam insulation can:
There are many great debates in life. The chicken and the egg, how to pronounce "bag" (okay, maybe that's just a Wisconsin thing), but the greatest debate of them all is whether to use closed or open cell foam. Diversified Insulation has chosen to work with closed cell foam because we service zone 5 climates. The majority of our clients live in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Kenosha, Lake Geneva, Waukegan or Rockford Illinois where the weather is very volatile. These midwestern counties can see large temperature swings in a matter of days, especially in the spring and autumn. Because of this, the wise decision is to spray closed cell foam with R-7 per inch to support consistent ambient air temperatures. Open cell foam only provides an R-3.8 per inch, and therefore better serves residents in climates with more consistent seasons.
Unlike open cell foam, closed cell foam provides a natural vapor barrier. Wisconsin residents are required to have a vapor barrier in their homes to protect the structure from moisture damage. Closed cell spray foam insulation provides that, making it an idyllic solution to meet building code while providing excellent R-value. If a Wisconsin resident chooses to insulate with open cell foam, they will still need to install a vapor barrier to meet code by putting a thin amount of closed cell foam or plastic sheet over the open cell foam. Open cell foam is a better solution for southern homes and buildings where the temperatures are more consistent throughout the year and vapor barriers are not necessary.
There's a myth floating around in the world of insulation that it's not possible to spray foam in the cold. Well our team put that myth to the test! Conclusion? Our premium spray foam rigs and product deliver high quality foam all year- even during freezing Wisconsin winters. There is no need to wait on the weather to increase the energy efficiency of your home. Check out this video to see us put our crew to the test.
Ensure your insulation is up to code and running with maximum energy efficient with professional installation from our trained experts. As you can see from our video, spray foam is applied wet, expands and then hardens. This mixture contains chemicals that are best handled by trained technicians for your safety. Misuse of these chemicals can cause serious and fatal injuries.
