The cost varies depending on the type of foam, the area to be insulated, and the complexity of the job. The team at Wynndoor understands that pricing is a top concern, that’s why we offer free, no obligation price estimates. Click here to get your free spray foam insulation estimate!

Spray foam insulation is known for its durability and longevity compared to traditional insulation materials. When installed correctly by the certified team at Wynndoor Insulation, you can expect it to last 80 to 100 years. This longevity is due to the properties of polyurethane, which is resistant to moisture, temperature variations, and mold growth. When you compare this to traditional insulation materials such as fibreglass and cellulose which typically last 15 to 30 years, spray foam insulation from Wynndoor is a great value.

Spray foam insulation can significantly impact energy bills in the long run by reducing heating and cooling costs. Homes insulated with spray foam typically experience a consistent and permanent reduction in energy bills. This is due to the insulation’s ability to create an air seal, preventing conditioned air from escaping and unconditioned air from entering the home. As a result, energy bills can decrease by 10-15% in newer homes and by 20-30% in older homes with less existing insulation.

The time it takes to install spray foam insulation varies depending on several factors, including the size of the project and whether old insulation needs to be removed. Generally speaking, most spray foam insulation projects can be completed in one to two days. This includes both the removal of old insulation and the installation of new spray foam. The foam itself hardens quickly, becoming tack-free within minutes and fully cured within 24 to 48 hours.

Installing foam insulation is a task that is best left to experienced professionals, especially for large or complex projects. In addition to the preparation, specialized equipment and attention to detail required for proper application, the team at Wynndoor Insulation also adheres to strict safety protocols including use of personal protective equipment such as goggles, gloves, a respirator and a hooded coverall suit.

Overall, when installed correctly by certified professionals using quality products, spray foam insulation is considered safe and can provide significant energy efficiency benefits. As part of Wynndoor Insulation’s safety protocol, occupants are required to vacate the premises for at least 24 hours after installation to allow for curing and ventilation.

The choice between open-cell and closed-cell depends on the specific insulation needs, climate, budget, and application area in the building. Some key differences include cell structure (cells in open-cell foams re not fully encapsulated making it softer and more flexible compared to the more rigid and dense structure of closed-cell foam), density (open-cell has a density of 0.5 pounds per cubic foot compared to the much denser 1.75-2 pounds per cubic foot or more found in closed-cell foam), R-value (open-cell foam has an R-value of around 3.5-3.6 per inch compared to the higher R-value of 6-7 per inch found in closed-cell foam), and cost (open-cell foam is generally less expensive than closed-cell foam).

The R-value measures how well insulation resists conductive heat flow. A higher R-value indicates better insulation performance, meaning less heat is lost in winter and less heat enters in summer. This results in more stable indoor temperatures and reduced reliance on heating and cooling systems, leading to lower energy consumption and utility bills. By improving the home’s insulation with a higher R-value material like spray foam, homeowners can achieve significant energy savings. The insulation also reduces the workload on HVAC systems, minimizing energy use and extending the system’s lifespan.
