Alabama, AL (prHWY.com) April 5, 2012 - In case the spray foam components are not mixed using the right proportions, the resulting spray foam insulation has been observed to release toxic gasses continually. It is for this reason that experts are highly recommended in the mixing process. The amateur workers should be allowed only to make the mixture in the presence of an experience superior so as to ensure that the workers do everything in the correct manner.

Upon being sprayed on the surface of the object, the spray foam insulation will often expand to about 100 times the original size. As a result, the foam can expand and fill the empty air gaps that may exist between the parts of the building. This condensed foam will always contract and expand in relation to the structure of the main building.

Spray foam is applied to structures with the use of two main systems. Most of the new homes generally use the components high pressure system because of its quick expanding nature. Most of the re-modeling jobs on houses already with dry wall in place prefer the second type of system used in the application of the spray foam insulation. This system is referred to as the two component high pressure system. This type of spray foam insulation is normally a slow rise formula because it expands at a relatively slower rate once it has been injected between the parts of the structure.
Spray foam insulation has a number of benefits. First it results in saving of energy costs and the resultant cost in the utility bills. This is because of the prevention of the large amount of heat often lost because of infiltration of air between the walls, the doorways, and the windows. Insulation helps keep this heat within the house that results in the saving of the extra cost that would have been applied in the heating of the house. It has been proven that buildings insulated by use if the spray foam insulation has increased insulation capability by over 50% compared to the traditional forms of insulation.

The spray foam applied on housing helps in the protection of the houses against moisture. This has been proven to lower the chance for the growth of molds that often cause allergic reactions on most people who come into contact with them. The elimination of the molds also helps in the protection of the wood used in the construction of the house because the wood rot associated with molds and mildews is eliminated.

The United States government is encouraging more people to adapt the use of spray foam insulation in their homes because of the associated benefits. It is for this reason that the government gives a federal tax deduction for homes treated with spray foam.
