Foam Insulation Columbus Ohio

5 Thing They Won’t Tell You About Foam Insulation

Foam insulation is one of the newest advances in home insulation technology and manufacturing. But like any new technology, its costs can be prohibitive – it can skyrocket your budget easily! Let Ohio Exteriors show you how you can make the most out of your choice of home while keeping your improvements cost-effective and energy-efficient.

Cost-effective? Think again.

For many homeowners, the use of foam insulation would be the ideal solution. But the costs are so high – it’s nearly double the cost than most other insulation materials! That’s why many experienced and respected professional contractors like Ohio Exteriors trust and recommend fiberglass insulation. It’s effectiveness is unrivalled and compared to foam insulation, fiberglass insulation gives you so much more value than what you’re paying for.

Fiberglass insulation is by far, the more popular choice by homeowners and professional insulation specialists. It is cost-effective, easy to apply, and its durability and performance is beyond par. Here are the top five advantages that fiberglass insulation has over foam insulation:

1. Fiberglass insulation saves you 30-50% in outright costs and materials.
2. Fiberglass is made from recyclable material, and can be recycled once its full lifespan
3. Fiberglass insulation fire-safe and does not emit toxic fumes when it burns.
4. Fiberglass insulation is stable in form; foam insulation isn't and can expand and cause structural damage.
5. Fiberglass insulation is durable and dependable over time, while foam insulation drastically loses its effectiveness faster than most other insulation types.

Cost is always a determining factor when choosing the right insulation material. It’s practical and more effective to choose one that requires only one application and can be depended on to last. When compared to fiberglass insulation, foam insulation has nearly the same effectiveness, but loses it over time.

Because foam insulation relies on chemical-based solutions and air (or other gases) for sealing and preventing air infiltration, there is the danger of over-expansion, especially when use for attic insulation, ceiling insulation or roof insulation. Other dangers include the release of toxic fumes and fire safety. Fire safety is a very big concern when using foam insulation – that’s why other contractors won’t even think of what can happen if a fire hits your home!
