The Science Behind Superior Thermal Comfort
Achieving actual energy efficiency goes beyond simply adding material to your walls; it requires a comprehensive understanding of air dynamics and moisture control specific to the Piedmont region. In Chapel Hill, where humidity can compromise traditional insulation, our spray foam application expands to fill every crevice, creating a seamless seal that prevents air leakage. This process not only stabilizes indoor temperatures year-round but also helps deter pollutants and allergens, ensuring your environment is as healthy as it is efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does spray foam handle the high humidity levels in North Carolina?
Spray foam is excellent for humid climates because it creates an air seal that prevents moisture-laden air from entering the home. Closed-cell foam, in particular, acts as a vapor retarder, significantly reducing the risk of mold growth and structural damage caused by condensation.
Will spray foam insulation really lower my monthly energy bills?
Yes, by sealing air leaks, which are responsible for up to 40% of a home’s energy loss, spray foam reduces the workload on your HVAC system. Most homeowners in the Chapel Hill area see a significant reduction in heating and cooling costs immediately after installation.
Is there a difference between insulating a new build versus an existing home?
While the material used is often the same, the application method differs. In new builds, we have open access to wall cavities, allowing for a seamless install before drywall goes up. For existing homes (retrofitting), we typically focus on accessible areas like attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists to improve the thermal envelope without invasive demolition.
What is the lifespan of spray foam compared to fiberglass?
Spray foam is a long-term solution that does not settle, sag, or degrade over time like traditional fiberglass batting. Once applied and cured, it becomes a permanent part of the structure, often lasting the lifetime of the building without needing replacement.
Does spray foam help with soundproofing between rooms or from outside noise?
Absolutely. Open-cell spray foam is particularly effective at sound dampening due to its softer, sponge-like density. It helps absorb sound waves, making it an excellent choice for media rooms, walls between bedrooms, or blocking out street noise from busy areas like Franklin Street.
