TYPES OF SPRAY FOAM INSULATION
There are two primary kinds of spray foam insulation: closed-cell and open-cell.
Closed-cell spray foam insulation is recognised by its rigidity once set, providing greater insulating properties, and contributing to structural stability. Closed-cell foam consists of unique gas-filled cells that thwart heat movement more effectively than its counterpart.
Open-cell spray foam insulation retains a soft structure post-application. Due to its less dense nature, it's permeable to moisture, which can be an advantage by reducing the potential for condensation. However, this same trait means that open-cell foam requires a thicker application to achieve insulation levels comparable to those of closed-cell foam.
ISSUES LINKED TO SPRAY FOAM INSULATION
Mould Growth: Presence of spray foam in loft and roof spaces can trigger mould development, compromising the wood and necessitating costly repairs.
Reduced Air Circulation: Closed cell and open-cell spray foam types could restrict air circulation within these spaces, leading to dampness and rot in the roof timbers. This reduced airflow could also affect the resale prospects of a property, as potential buyers may be concerned about the level of insulation and its implications.
WHY REMOVE SPRAY FOAM?
Removing spray foam insulation might become essential for homeowners trying to secure financial arrangements such as mortgages or equity releases.
Mortgage lenders often flag properties with this type of insulation due to the potential risks it poses to the structure's integrity.
Our experienced team offers spray foam removal services, providing an effective solution.
TYPES OF SPRAY FOAM WE REMOVE
Open-Cell Foam: This spongy, breathable foam is typically easier to remove, often involving manual scraping and vacuuming.
Closed-Cell Foam: Denser and more adherent, closed-cell foam often requires more time to remove than open-cell foam.
Factors to consider
When considering spray foam removal, understanding the necessity and process is key.
Spray Foam insulation can seal the roof space, leading to diminished airflow, condensation, and potential rotting of the structural supports. Removal through advanced methods can massively enhance efficiency, cutting time by up to 80% compared to other methods, while ensuring comprehensive extraction of the foam.
Mortgage lenders' reservations about spray foam stem from concerns about flammability, moisture intrusion, and the high costs associated with its installation and potential removal. Improper installation can significantly devalue a property, impeding the homeowner's financial flexibility. Since the removal process is both laborious and time-sensitive, professional expertise is crucial in preventing extensive damages and further financial burdens.
