Jordan Spray Insulation outperforms the new
3.5" high-density fiberglass batt, and costs only 10-15% more. Why?
Higher efficiency material, no voids, monolithic barrier to air flow, bugs &
mold. | |
| Spray
Insulation outperforms batts |  |
| Short fibers form a dense mass,
with no gaps or voids, in which convective currents cannot form. This stops direct
air infiltration, for warmer interior walls. | | Temperature
differentials force convection. Batt fibers are too far apart to stop it. Batts
lose up to 40% of R-value in cold weather. | |
SPRAY
INSULATION Cuts
your energy bills -savings pay for this upgrade -keeps a lid
on utilities permanently -increases the value of your home
Outperforms batts because it's so
dense -70% more R-value per inch -3.5" sprayed
insulation is more efficient than 6" fiberglass batts -needs no vapor
barrier because it stops air movement -fills all gaps and voids Is
safer than batts -creates a monolithic fire-retardant barrier
-creates a monolithic insect and mold barrier -is non-toxic, with no health
concerns Reduces consumption of non-renewable
energy sources -takes less energy to make spray insulation
-conserves energy for users every month Allows
you to conserve lumber and downsize heating & air systems
Quiets noise with a monolithic sound barrier Great for interior
walls Quiet your laundry room, workshop, rec room, bathroom, or bedroom Tests
performed by the University of Colorado School
of Architecture concluded that sprayed cellulose reduced air infiltraion by 38%
and the sprayed test house used 22% less energy. It was clear that the degree
of tightness was due to the TYPE of insulation used. Homes
achieving a 5 Star Energy Rating are 30% more efficient
than those meeting the model energy code! You may also qualify for a special energy
efficient mortgage or tax credits (pending legislation). | |
