Total Comfort Control, Not Just R-Value
The building envelope is a system of construction components which protect against the uncontrolled movement of: heat, air, and moisture.
The true performance of your building envelope can not be measured with the R-value of the insulation alone, but must also consider air movement, moisture control, health, safety, durability, comfort, and energy efficiency.
This is true whether your building is commercial, residential, or multifamily: SPF addresses all these needs in both new construction and improvements to existing structures.
Six Mechanisms of Heat Loss Through a Wall or Ceiling That Are Bad for Your Home and Your Health
1. Conduction
2. Radiation
3. Convection Currents
4. Infiltration (Wind Pressure)
5. Intrusion (Wind Wash)
6. Moisture Accumulation (Humidity, Dew, and Frost
Air infiltration can increase energy costs in buildings 10 to 40%.
SPF reduces air infiltration allowing insulation to be more effective and reducing the demands on HVAC equipment.
SPF reduces moisture infiltration by reducing air leakage.
SPF adds structural strength to walls and ceilings.
SPF reduces sound transfer into buildings. Most sound from outside the building is carried into the building through cracks and air leaks.
SPF helps keep sound out
