CUSTOMER REVIEWS
What does insulation do?
Before we install insulation, we’d like to explain its benefits. Knowing what insulation does and how it works will help you make informed decisions about residential or commercial insulation projects.
Insulation is material installed between the inner and outer structures of a house or building. It’s typically added between the floor and basement, interior and exterior walls, ceilings, and attic spaces, and attics and roofs. All insulation, whether crawl space insulation, wall insulation, or attic insulation, limits air movement. By restricting how much air moves, insulation helps keep hot air out in the summer and cold air in winter. It also keeps treated, cleaner, air-conditioned, or heated air inside. Your HVAC system does more than heat or cool; it also filters pollutants and irritants from the air. Without good insulation, especially spray foam insulation for your Columbus, GA home or office, treated air leaks out, and untreated air finds a way into the building.
Some insulation materials provide additional benefits. Some, especially spray insulation, provide sound insulation and keeps pests from getting in. Unlike cellulose or fiberglass, foam insulation is water-resistant and can add to any building's structural strength, enabling it to stand up to storms with strong winds. Insulation installers improve your air quality and reduce heat loss, which means reducing illness and allergies and lowering energy bills. When Columbus Spray Foam Insulation insulates your Columbus, GA house or business, we leave you with a sturdier, healthier, more comfortable, and energy-efficient living or working space. |
What is Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam insulation has been in use for over 80 years, and scientists and manufacturers have experimented and improved foam formulas and installation techniques over those years. Foam Insulation was initially used in airplanes back in the 1940s because it could be installed everywhere insulation was needed. Getting fiberglass into small interiors spaces was difficult, but the new spraying installation technology provided the answer. Residential and commercial insulation installers soon started to use it in buildings, and today, spray foam insulation is the most popular insulation choice.
Spray insulation contractors spray two liquid chemicals through a specialized nozzle. As they are sprayed, the two liquids react with one another to create an expanded, hardening foam. The machinery, called reactors, spreads the insulation under pressure, so it completely fills spaces to be insulated. As a liquid, the spray easily enters every nook and crack. The expanded foam hardens into an air and water barrier. The solid spray foam insulation improves a Columbus, GA house’s or building’s structural strength and provides soundproofing insulation. The foam dries quickly, allowing you to reenter your home or business 24-hours later.
There are several formulations of spray foam insulation, each with a different density and purpose. Our experts know which formula to use where in your Columbus, GA home or business. The spray foam formulas can be divided into three categories, open-cell, closed-cell, and high-density.

There are several formulations of spray foam insulation, each with a different density and purpose. Our experts know which formula to use where in your Columbus, GA home or business. The spray foam formulas can be divided into three categories, open-cell, closed-cell, and high-density.
Open-cell Spray Foam InsulationOpen-cell Spray Foam Insulation has less density and is more flexible than the other types. The softer, more flexible structure enables it to tolerate structural expansion and contraction caused by temperature changes. Open-cell costs less than either closed-cell or high-density foam, and we usually use it in residential insulation.
The open-cell type also provides the best soundproofing insulation, so Columbus Spray Foam Insulation may recommend open-cell spray foam insulation for your Columbus, GA house if you have noisy neighbors or traffic noise. |
Closed-cell Spray Foam InsulationClosed-cell Spray Foam Insulation is denser and harder when it dries. The harder foam is more water-resistant and adds more to structural strength. The insulation ability, or R-Value*, is higher in closed-cell than in open-cell.
If Columbus Spray Foam Insulation fills the walls of your Columbus, GA commercial structure with closed-cell spray foam, you can rely on the structure to withstand mother nature's worst. |
High-Density Spray Foam InsulationHigh-Density Spray Foam Insulation obviously has the highest density, making it the most water-resistant and the strongest.
The R-factor is the highest per inch, and our contractors often recommend high-density spray insulation for roof repair and insulation and commercial insulation of exterior walls. |
R-Value - What is R-Value? Building industry and insulation contractors rate an insulation material's effectiveness and assign it an R-value (also called R-factor.) The R is for resistance, and the number assigned to an insulation material indicates how well the insulation resists air movement and, therefore, heat movement. R-factors or value numbers are per inch of material, so the thicker your insulation, the higher its resistance. Spray foam insulation has a higher R-factor per inch than many other insulation types.

Why Does Columbus Spray Foam Insulation Specialize in Foam Insulation?
While insulation contractors can use other insulation materials like fiberglass or cellulose and different installation processes like rolls, batting, or blown-in, Columbus Spray Foam Insulation recommends spray foam insulation for your Columbus, GA home or office for the following eight reasons.
1. Spray Foam Insulation is the Fastest to InstallColumbus Spray Foam Insulation teams can typically complete a Columbus, GA residential insulation installation in a day. While removing old insulation may add time, the actual spray foam installation can be done in an eight-hour workday.
Commercial insulation installation time varies depending on the structure’s size and how much old insulation removal and clean-up we need to do. The spray foam dries to the touch within minutes and completely cures in 24 hours. |
2. It Insulates BestThe biggest difference between spray foam and other insulations is its ability to insulate. Insulation ability, which the industry measures as R-value or R-Factor, is higher per inch for spray foam insulation than most other materials. Spray Foam also insulates well because of the spray installation process. Liquids can be applied anywhere, and two liquids chemically react to expand into a foam that completely fills up empty spaces. The material seals cracks and crevices, and because the area is full and holes are filled, air can't move. Spray foam insulation is ideal for unusually shaped spaces in your Columbus, GA home or business. Other insulation types won't work well for skylights and intricate architectural features.

3. Spray Foam is the Longest-Lasting InsulationInsulation rolls or batts and blown-in cellulose or fiberglass fibers all break down over time. You, therefore, need to replace them. Every year other insulation breaks down and becomes less effective. With insulation other than spray foam insulation, water from rain or plumbing leaks can accelerate loss. Cellulose insulation, often pulverized paper, can leave you a mess to clean up if your roof or plumbing leaks. Foam Insulation installed by Columbus Spray Foam Insulation will not break down over time and will last for as long as your Columbus, GA home or business building lasts. Essentially, you will never need to replace it

4. It’s the Only Insulation that Provides a Water BarrierRain or plumbing water leaks damage some insulation but, spray foam insulation in a Columbus, Georgia home or business prevents water from getting in. Spray foam insulation in a Columbus, GA building prevents water from getting in, and prevents it from moving from floor to floor. Spray foam insulation also cuts down on condensation and the damage it can cause. Attic or basement spaces untreated by an HVAC system can build up condensation caused by changing outside temperatures. If enough condensation builds up, water can drip from the attic and damage ceilings and interior walls. Spray foam insulation reduces condensation by insulating a space and creates a water barrier between floors. Preventing condensation leaks saves you from costly repair bills.

5. Foam Makes Houses and Commercial Buildings StrongerEveryone knows that a solid object is stronger than a hollow one. Spray foam insulation fills spaces in your Columbus, GA commercial building or home and makes them stable.
The solid construction can withstand high winds better than a structure with hollow spaces. |
6. Pests Can’t Get InInsects, rodents, and other pests enter a home through cracks and holes left behind by electricians and plumbers during construction or created by stress over time.
Spray foam insulation in a Columbus, GA structure fills these cracks and holes with foam and blocks pests' usual access routes. Blown-in cellulose or rolled insulations won’t do that. |
7. You’ll Enjoy a Quieter EnvironmentAll insulation types buffer sound, but spray foam insulation does it best. If you are bothered by noisy neighbors, traffic, or industrial noise, we recommend adding spray foam insulation.
When the foam blocks holes and makes walls and ceilings solid, it also provides soundproof insulation. Solid walls keep your neighbor's noise out of your home and get you a quieter workplace, too. |
8. Your Home or Business Will Be Worth MoreHomebuyers and commercial building buyers or leasers look for well-insulated houses or buildings because they don't want to pay high heating and air conditioning bills. Georgia summers are hot, and winter days can be cold. Homebuyers want to be comfortable in their new homes without paying too much for utilities. Business owners look for buildings with comfortable temperatures and healthy air quality for themselves and their employees. Spray foam insulation lasts, too. A new owner of a Columbus, GA home will never have to replace it. It's a basic truth of real estate that more desirable properties are more in demand. Higher demand translates to increased value. The bottom line is that if Columbus Spray Foam Insulation installs spray foam insulation in your Columbus, GA home or business, its value increases.
