Not much to say about me but I do like insulation. Below is a bit of reading for those that are also inclined.

Benefits Of Spray Foam InsulationThere are different types of insulation you can use in your home. Fiberglass is the most common type of insulation in homes. However, fiberglass has a number of disadvantages. It is not tightly packed and there are a number of gaps, cracks and holes in and around the plumbing, electrical outlets and electric lines. In fact, the total area covered by these holes is so great that it is equivalent to keeping a open door that allows the cold air outside to come right into the home. This is one of the reasons that spray foam is gaining a lot of popularity these days. It is estimated that spray foam insulation can help you save up to 30% of energy bills and at the same time, can give your heating and cooling system a rest that also enhances their life.One of the biggest advantages of spray foam insulation is that it has a very high R value that is up to 3.6 per inch which means that it offers superior performance as compared to other insulation material. Also, it is easy to install and can be installed in tough to reach places. It is also free of any dangerous chemicals such as urea formaldehyde, VOCs and CFCs. Also, there is no need to move your pets and kids to another location as it can be installed within a single day.This insulation also helps in keeping all the unwanted pests and rodents outside the home as there is no ingredient in this that attracts rodents as compared to some of the other insulation material. Another big benefit of spray form is that it helps blocking fire. There are different types of spray forms and many of them have a better rating of Class 1 which means that they are extremely effective at blocking fire. The spray form works by slowing down the speed of spreading fire from one part of the home to another part. It works by blocking the oxygen supply to the flames and the fire dies out due to lack of oxygen. Since this insulation can be tightly packed and blocks all the usual gaps such as those around electrical wires, pipes and electrical outlets, fire is unable to spread from one place to another.One of the disadvantages of other insulation materials is that they let certain gaps around your home. These gaps allow moisture to seep in that increases the humidity level of the air inside. This warm moist air rises up and often gets into ceiling and attic. Ceiling and attic provides
