Insulating Headers { benefits }
Headers are areas between the top of the basement wall and the start of the first floor that are typically un-insulated and expose you to heat loss and air leakage. Eco Insulation can also rectify this problem area of heat loss by applying polyurethane spray foam.
Why Eco Insulation Foam better than Conventional Fiber Insulations such as Fiberglass, Cellulose, and Rockwool?
Eco Insulation Foam is spray applied in a liquid format and expands into a foam. It fills every single nook, cranny, crevice, hole, crack, and gap making a perfect continuous air-tight seal every time, regardless of complex framing and penetrations.
Eco Insulation Spray Foam has a "Real World" R-Value that is un compromised by external forces like temperature and wind. Fiber Insulations such as Fiberglass, Cellulose, and Rockwool merely slow down convection which accounts for 80% of heat loss. As the temperature drops, convection currents speed up and Fiber Insulations loose their effectiveness at slowing them down. Eco Insulation Spray Foam on the other hand stops that convection. Wind is not a factor either for Eco Insulation Spray Foam due to its continuous air-tight seal.
Eco Insulation Spray Foam is its own building code approved Thermal Insulation, Air Barrier, and Vapour Barrier. It's closed cell structure stops convection currents, which eliminates condensation, moisture, and mold.
Eco Insulation Spray Foam adds structural strength to a building. It's rigid structure increases shear and racking strength by 300%.
Eco Insulation Spray Foam improves indoor air quality and living comfort. It creates a continuous air-tight seal, dust and other exterior pollutants cannot enter the building. It is also significantly reduces noise, a building sprayed with Eco Insulation will always be quieter than using Conventional Fiber Insulations
Eco Insulation Spray Foam is environmentally friendly. Eco Insulation Spray Foam is made from annually renewable Soybean oil and recycled plastic bottles
Eco Insulation Spray Foam has the highest R-Value. R-Value is a measurement of thermal resistance. A higher R-Value means a greater ability to resist heat flow. Eco Insulation Foam has the highest R-Value (7 per inch) of any insulation product available today.
