​Spray Foam Insulation Contractors Decatur, Illinois

Unless something isn’t right, you don’t think about insulation. In fact, you probably have blamed your HVAC system for not working right, when it’s not the system at all. In most cases, it’s old insulation that has lost its ability to resist heat flow properly. Certain types of insulation can actually lose up to 20% of its effective R-Value rating over time due to settling. 

So, what should you do? You should have your insulation checked out. And if you need new insulation, the Department of Energy recommends that you use insulation with an R-Value rating of R-49+. Now, you may be asking “What is an R-value Rating?” and “What insulation meets the Decatur, IL DoE Rating?” Here we'll answer those questions and more.

What is an R-value rating?

An R-Value rating is a measurement of how well a barrier resists the flow of heat from one place to another – in your case, from the outside, in (or from the inside, out). And the higher the R-Value rating, the better it performs.  

What insulation meets the Decatur DoE rating?

R-49+ is hard to achieve, unless you use spray foam insulation. Spray foam insulation can easily achieve an R-49+ rating, almost without breaking a sweat. And since it meets the DoE recommendation, it’s considered the best insulation for the Decatur, IL area.

Open-cell vs. Closed-cell Foam Insulation

​Spray foam insulation comes in two forms – open cell foam insulation and closed cell foam insulation. Each performs well, but each also has its own benefits. We’ve put together a quick explanation below to help you understand the differences/benefits:

Most attic insulation installers use spray foam insulation. Either type can be used in an attic insulation installation. Some installers prefer to use fiberglass insulation and/or cellulose insulation, but these are not nearly as effective in an attic or crawl space insulation installation. Fiberglass insulation and/or cellulose insulation is better for interior and/or exterior wall installations.

Spray Foam Insulation Cost

The initial cost of spray foam insulation is higher than other insulation options, but the benefits outweigh the cost over the long haul. Spray foam is superior is heat flow resistance (higher R-Value rating) than other insulation options. But it would be almost impossible for us to give you an estimate of cost without knowing more about your project.
