COMFORT FOAM ENERGY SAVINGS FOR YOUR HOME
Comfort
Foam provides a complete, seamless building envelope,
creating a more comfortable indoor environment for
the life of your home.
COMFORT FOAM completely and efficiently insulates
and seals around penetrations through the building
framework, such as electrical outlets and plumbing
fixtures.
Top and bottom sill plates, energy heels and rim joists
are sealed, along with other gaps normally found in
residential construction.
COMFORT FOAM seals cracks, crevices and seams around
the perimeter of your home, giving you added protection
from unwanted air drafts and damaging moisture.
Proven
more effective than conventional insulation products,
COMFORT FOAM brand spray insulation forms a seamless
bond with building components to create a structurally
sound, uniform, air-infiltration barrier. Its superior
thermal properties perform in even the most extreme
hot or cold climates.
You
save energy dollars year after year because the COMFORT
FOAM insulation system delivers exceptionally good
R-value for the life of the building. Less heating
or cooling is needed to control the temperature in
your home. Thats good for your budget and the
environment!
Comfort
Foam creates a protective thermal envelope around
your living space.
It provides your home a fully sealed, seamless barrier
against wind- and solar-driven moisture and unwanted
air.
The
Highest R-value in the Market
Insulation
is rated in terms of thermal resistance - R-value - which
indicates the resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value,
the greater the insulating effectiveness. COMFORT FOAM has
the highest R-value (7 per in.) of all readily available,
cost-effective insulations available in the market today.
Reduces
or Eliminates Convection Looping.
Temperature
differences between the unconditioned outside air and the
conditioned living space can create convective looping (warm
air rising, cold air falling) within a stud cavity. The impact
of this looping degrades the R-value of most common forms
of insulation and causes additional load on your homes
heating and cooling system. The superior R-value (7 per in.)
and unique sealing characteristics of COMFORT FOAM reduce
this temperature variance and the effect of convective looping,
saving you energy dollars.
Meets
Building Code Requirements.
Dont
worry about durability. COMFORT FOAM is approved by all three
national building codes and will perform for the life of your
building. Its exceptional thermal and structural characteristics
will save you, and generations to come, from the problems
associated with the high cost of energy.
Creates
a Healthy Living Space.
COMFORT
FOAM spray polyurethane effectively protects your living space
form unwanted moisture build-up and condensation caused by
warm moist air meeting cool dry air within the building envelope
(stud cavities, attics). Installed by a Qualified COMFORT
FOAM Contractor, COMFORT FOAM effectively seals your home
against unwanted moisture. You can now use modern ventilation
techniques to create the best, most habitable indoor living
spacefree of excess moisture and airborne pathogensfor
a healthy, more comfortable home.
Spray
polyurethane foam insulation can be applied to a home under
construction and will not only insulate, but will also reduce
air leakage in the building envelope. US

polyurethane foam alone can provide an air- and
water-tight barrier. US

Controlling
Air Infiltration
The
answer to Americas home energy-saving challenge.
United
States Government energy labs estimate that air infiltration
wastes up to 40% of every home heating and cooling dollar.
It is one of the countrys most critical home energy
problems. Unfortunately, most residential buildings were constructed
before the scope of the problem was widely known. But today,
new homes are being built utilizing the COMFORT FOAM solution,
right from the start.
The latest
money-saving technology for new home construction.
Used commercially
for over 30 years, COMFORT FOAM is a sprayed-in-place polyurethane
insulation, applied by a Qualified COMFORT FOAM Contractor
during construction of your home. The closed-cell nature of
COMFORT FOAM stops air leakage problems at the source.
A home
that has good insulation plus air infiltration control
reduces
the usage of fossil fuels for energy
reduces
the CO2 emissions that are damaging the environment, AND
saves
the homeowner money.
Save money. Help save the environment.
Air infiltration
is caused by leaks around windows and doors, and by the spaces,
joints, voids and cracks hidden inside the structure of your
home. This unwanted air penetrates the building shell and
travel inside walls and ceilings, under baseboards, and along
hidden pathways in the plumbing and electrical system. Even
the best-built houses have seams and gaps that permit air
infiltration.
This uncontrolled
air disrupts the temperature, air pressure and humidity of
the living space, in any weather. The heating and cooling
system has to work harder to maintain your familys comfort.
Energy is wasted and that causes higher utility bills.
The Bottom Line.
Unlike
other home insulations, the spray-applied seamless sealing
quality of COMFORT FOAM brand polyurethane foam insulation
system eliminates the air infiltration problem.
In Conventional
Residential Construction
Once your
house is finished, unwanted gaps and air spaces in the building
structure are hidden. But theyre there, causing drafts,
moisture and higher energy use.
COMFORT
FOAM seals the gaps and spaces right from the start, while
your house is being built.
