Injection Foam Insulation in Columbus, Ohio

Also called masonry foam, injection foam acts as both an insulating product and an air barrier. It has a consistency similar to shaving cream when it’s applied and hardens as it dries. The purpose of injection foam is to seal wall cavities and other enclosed spaces against air movement and heat transfer.

Injection foam isn’t prone to compressing, sagging or settling into the wall cavity over time. This makes it a long-lasting solution that continues to perform flawlessly after many years in use. Injection foam is most often used in new commercial buildings, including retail stores, churches and schools. It may also be suitable for some residential applications that feature concrete-block walls and foundations.

When applied to existing walls, a small section of siding is removed, if necessary, and small holes are drilled through the exterior. The foam is then injected, where it spreads from the origin point to fill in nooks and crannies in the wall cavity. When the installation is complete, the hole is patched to resemble the surrounding wall area.

Benefits of Injection Foam Insulation

Air sealing and insulation are vital aspects of building construction. Using masonry foam provides the following benefits:

Reduced installation cost: Most types of insulation require you to air seal the structure prior to installation to create a “windbreaker” for the building. Since injection foam seals and insulates, you cut down on installation cost and time without sacrificing performance.
High R-value: The higher a product’s thermal resistance or R-value, the better it insulates and blocks sound transference. Injection foam has one of the highest R-values per inch of any insulation.
Environmental friendliness: Injection foam is made of safe, inert materials that promote good indoor air quality and a healthy environment. Plus, insulated walls help keep energy consumption down, reducing the emissions associated with heating and cooling a building.
