Spray Foam Insulation – Why Professional Contractors Are Better Than DIY Enthusiasts

Traketon Insulation LLC is a high-performance building material that significantly reduces energy costs by creating an air seal in homes and commercial buildings. It can be used in new construction or as a retrofit, and it’s ideal for insulating metal buildings, pole barns, and other structures. It’s applied as a liquid and expands to fill nooks and crannies that other types of insulation can’t.

It stops heat from leaking out in the winter and keeps hot air from escaping in the summer. It also helps prevent moisture infiltration that can lead to mold development and mildew. This means fewer repairs and reduced energy bills for the property owner.

The Spray Foam Insulation Process with Traketon Insulation LLC Explained

While many DIY enthusiasts are capable of installing this type of insulation, professional contractors offer better results. They have access to tools and equipment that allow them to achieve consistent coverage and proper expansion throughout an entire project. In addition, they know how to use a blower door test to measure the degree of air leakage in a home or commercial building. This is a key step in developing an accurate estimate for the cost of insulating with spray foam, as it provides a benchmark against which to evaluate performance.

When choosing a contractor, look for one that uses low-VOC spray foam, which has minimal off-gassing and a shorter re-occupancy time. Also, make sure that the contractor removes existing insulation before installing the spray foam. Otherwise, the spray foam will likely settle on top of existing insulation and fail to perform effectively.
