There are so many reasons to choose HBS (Huntsman Building Solutions) spray foam insulation. It doesn't matter whether it's for a commercial establishment or an industrial unit, it could be for a new-build home or to upgrade an existing one.
Whatever the type of application, the benefits will simply outweigh those of more traditional insulation types.
Keeping a building cool in the summer and retaining the heat during the winter are obvious benefits, some more are listed below.
Up to 40% of heat loss is because of air leakage. Traditional MMVFs like fibre glass and mineral wool aren't air barrier materials plus over time they get moved about leaving voids. Spray foam insulation gently expands into every space creating an airtight seal. It’s a highly effective way to save money on your energy bills while increasing your comfort.
Traditional materials will sag or settle over time whereas spray foam insulation maintains its shape and insulating qualities.
Registered warranties are limited in the UK to 25 years however; if left undisturbed the spray foam is expected to last the lifetime of a building. Traditional insulation that's left exposed will have to be monitored and replaced at fairly regular intervals.
Open-cell spray foam insulation is an air barrier material that allows vapour molecules to still pass through. This means it manages moisture to protect against the dangers of damp.
Air sealing also means no outdoor pollutants can mix with the breakdown of particles from traditional types of insulation.
Whether its a commercial building or a domestic property traditional insulation tends to attract pests like birds, vermin and insects. Vermin love to nest under MMVFs like mineral wool, and birds and insects are always looking for voids to enter to make your home their home. Spray foam insulation is pest-resistant as it leaves no voids.
