Spray Foam Insulation and Indoor Air Quality

insulation in raftersIndoor air quality is an overlooked aspect of the health of ourselves and our families. Studies have shown that poor indoor air quality <https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/introduction-indoor-air-quality> can lead to short-term effects like aggravating asthma, or even just causing mild uncomfortable for inhabitants. Long term poor air quality can lead to more serious issues, like respiratory illnesses and heart disease. It is important that we make sure we maintain proper air quality in our living and work spaces.

Controlling Air Transfer

One of the most important aspects of indoor air quality is to reduce the allergens, dust, and pollutants that come into our homes and businesses through cracks and other air transfer areas. A properly spray foamed envelope helps to improve your air quality by keeping these pollutants out. Eco Three can also air seal your existing living spaces from pollutant creators like attics, crawlspace/basements, water heaters, and garages.

Controlling Mold and Mildew

When we install spray foam insulation to a home or building, the unique property of the foam allows it to fill tiny cracks and spaces that other insulation can’t reach. Because of this, spray foam can reduce air and water vapor from entering your home, which helps to prevent and control mold and mildew build-up. By slowing or completely stopping these from growing, indoor air quality gets another boost, and you get the peace of mind of a healthier living space.
