SPRAY FOAM WALL
INSULATION
ArmorThane’s ArmorFoam Polyurethane Spray Foam for Safer and More Comfortable Indoor Spaces
KEEPING THE HEAT IN AND
THE NOISE OUT
Wall insulation may not be sexy, but it is absolutely critical for the comfort and safety of our homes and businesses. It’s the invisible barrier that keeps us alive at the peak of summer and cozy in the midst of winter, silently working for us season after season. But we’ve all been in a building with poor insulation, so we all know it’s not always so simple. Like any building element insulation can degrade over time, and new construction projects are always looking to find technology with the best performance for the lowest cost. The point is that insulation is essential, so it’s important to consider your options as carefully as you would your roof or foundation. However, ArmorThane can help simplify your search because we offer a range of polyurethane spray foam products that meet the industry’s highest standards for wall insulation. Each serves several functions at once and lasts decades longer than its more thermally conductive alternatives.
WHY OPT FOR SPRAY FOAM FOR WALL INSULATION?
There’s an overwhelming number of options available for wall insulation, so why exactly would someone opt for spray foam over everything else the industry has to offer? The short answer is that spray foam insulation checks all the important boxes simultaneously. Lasting thermal performance? Check. Built-in air sealing? Check. Soundproofing capabilities? Absolutely. Structural reinforcement? You betcha! Probably the single most important metric is the spray foam R-value, which reflects an insulating material’s ability to, well, insulate. Polyurethane spray foam has one of the highest spray foam R-values on the market, exceeding R-6.5 per inch for closed-cell foam that easily outperforms traditional materials like cellulose or fiberglass that only average a meager R-2.0 to R-3.5 per inch. Remember we mentioned built-in air sealing? Yeah, that’s missing from the traditional solutions as well. Spray foam fills any gaps and cracks upon installation as it expands to fill the space between walls so that the only room to breathe is in the air trapped within the spray foam’s cells. For the same reason, spray foam can double as powerful sound insulation by reducing the transmission of noise between inside and out. The cherry on top? That aforementioned structural reinforcement. Don’t let its name fool you, it may be foam upon application, but the final result is a rigid bulwark against the elements that’s strong enough to serve as your building’s very own stiffening agent. Factored together, it’s easy to see why spray foam is increasingly chosen over any of its alternatives for high-quality, multi-purpose insulation projects.
