iFOAM of South Charlotte – Why You Should Leave Spray Foam Installation to a Professional
When warm air rises in the attic, it causes your heating system to work overtime. The result is a significant increase in your energy costs. Spray foam insulation prevents the warm air from escaping and keeps it in your home or office, saving you money while helping to make your living environment more eco-conscious.
The open-cell structure of spray foam provides excellent coverage and fills the small gaps, cracks, and spaces found in attics, crawl spaces, rim joists, and commercial walls. It works as both insulation and an air sealant, making it ideal for new construction as well as existing homes.
