NEW HOME CODE COMPLIANCE
When properly installed in new construction or open-walled major renovations, spray polyurethane foam insulation outperforms any other traditional insulation product on the market by not only insulating, but also greatly reducing airflow and the transfer of water vapor.
Working alongside a spray foam insulation company owned and operated by experienced RESNET and BPI Building Science professionals with applicators who are manufacturer-certified is one of the most significant contributing factors in ensuring that the proper application will be proposed and the air envelope will be tight, not just to the eye but under home depressurization testing.
However, if an inexperienced spray foam company, or a company that does not make it their standard practice to ensure great detail, poorly installs Spray Foam or incorrectly chooses a material that is not suited for a particular application then the air and vapor barrier may be greatly compromised. Also, if the HVAC contractor is ignorant to air-conditioning Best Installation Practices, current building code, and proper fresh air and combustion air requirements then the house may suffer from moisture and indoor air quality problems resulting in mold and mildew growth while leading to “sick house syndrome” and potential litigation.
