Amongst all available insulation systems, Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation (SPFI) is widely recognized to be the most superior performing insulation system in the North American market. Better known as Sprayfoam, this insulation system provides maximum energy efficiency, product longevity, and long-term cost savings that no other insulation system can match.
Spray-foam is designed and engineered for various uses in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. In residential buildings, SPFI is most popularly installed in the following areas;
1) Basement exterior walls building codes are continuously being updated to incorporate continuous insulation (sprayfoam) in certain areas of brand-new builds such as the basement exterior walls (foundation walls), the joist pockets, and exterior waterlines.
2) Flat roofs and tight attic spaces increasingly, homeowners and project managers are choosing to SPFI flat roofs and tight attic spaces instead of blown in or batt insulation. Against flat roof and tight-to-reach attic areas, sprayfoam is the only product that completely air seals the entire surface area, stopping any leakage of cold air into the building during winters and preventing the cool air from leaking out of the building during the summers. Regular batt insulation is simply not effective against air leakage in the tight and flat areas.
3) Garage ceilings more and more homeowners are realizing that their floors right above the garage are very cold during the winters, resulting in greater heating costs to maintain indoor temperatures. This is because the garage ceiling had not been insulated properly during the construction phase, resulting in air leakage into the upper floor. Closed cell (2lb) sprayfoam is the only product which absolutely air seals the garage ceiling, preventing the floor above from being ice cold during winters!

Sprayfoam insulation has many benefites which simply are not found in fiberglass and mineralwool insulation. Some sprayfoam benefits are;
One of the biggest benefits of sprayfoam insulation is that the product holds its engineered R-value (resistance) over the years. This means that sprayfoam insulation will perform just as good years later as it did when first installed! All conventional insulation products lose their R-value over the years making them less and less effective against air leaks and thus increasing your energy costs!
One reason why more and more home owners are choosing sprayfoam over conventional insulation is that sprayfoam absolutely air seals the envelop of the building – controlling the fluctuations in temperatures and making the indoor environment comfortable. This mean during the winters your indoors will remain warm and in the summers the indoors will remain cool.
All installers of sprayfoam chemicals must be licensed in order to install this type of insulation. Added to this, all chemical manufacturers go through rigorous compliance and multiple testing phases to ensure their products are safe and effective. All our installers at SULTAN Contractors are licensed and we only install insulation products that are produced by the leading North American manufactures!
a) It is the only insulation product that can absolutely air seal and create a vapour barrier even in the tightest areas of a building, leaving no chance for air leaks.
b) It is resistant to water absorption which means it will not create mold in the future resulting in a healthy building envelop.
c) It even adds structural strength and integrity to the exterior structure of the building.
As this insulation provides absolute air seal to the building envelop, the monthly heating and cooling expenses are decreased in the long-term. This added custom feature to the house has its re-sale value as it is known that buildings with this type of insulation sell for higher than buildings without it This is why custom home builders are increasingly choosing to sprayfoam their projects instead of using regular insulation.
