Spray foam stands as more than just insulation; it serves as a versatile building material with remarkable performance attributes. Beyond its primary function, it acts as an air barrier and a vapor retarder, positioning it as a comprehensive solution for modern construction challenges. Logik Roofing and Insulation proudly presents a range of spray foam products, each offering distinct advantages that cater to the evolving demands for energy-efficient homes.
As consumers increasingly seek environmentally conscious and energy-efficient solutions, spray foam emerges as a frontrunner, continually surpassing expectations. It goes beyond the conventional insulation metrics, as exemplified by its ability to form an air barrier without the need for additional products. This dual functionality, coupled with its superior R-values, distinguishes spray foam from other insulation materials.
The accompanying chart illustrates the diverse performance properties of Logik Roofing and Insulation’s spray foam offerings:
R-values and Performance
Low Density or Open Cell Spray Foam | Medium Density or Closed Cell Spray Foam | Closed Cell Roofing Spray Foam | |
Thermal Performance: R-Value* | Starting at 3.6 per inch | Starting at 5.7 per inch | Starting at 5.5 per inch |
2×4 Cavity: Full Fill | R13 | R20 | Not used for interior application |
Air Barrier / Sealant | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
Vapor Retarder: Class II rating | ✓ | ✓ |
*Note: R-value indicates resistance to heat flow; higher values signify superior insulating power.
Spray foam Insulation, in its various forms, offers diverse R-values to meet a wide range of performance requirements. Logik Roofing and Insulation ensures that all three types of spray foam – Low Density, Medium Density, and Closed Cell Roofing – not only meet but exceed the R-value requirements for walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs in every climate. Furthermore, these spray foam solutions can elevate structures to super-insulated standards, surpassing minimum code requirements.
Air Barriers & Permeability
Beyond its insulating capabilities, spray foam serves as an effective air barrier, resisting airflow between conditioned and unconditioned spaces. Logik Roofing and Insulation recognizes the significance of air barriers in building science, as they play a pivotal role in enhancing insulation performance and indoor air quality.
Consider the analogy of leaving a refrigerator door open – the performance of the appliance significantly decreases due to the introduction of airflow. Similarly, when warm air infiltrates a cold refrigerator or an air-conditioned building, it disrupts the internal climate. Spray foam, acting as an air barrier, addresses this issue by creating a tight seal that prevents the intrusion of pollen, dust, insects, and other allergens through cracks or crevices in wall assemblies.
Vapor Retarder
Closed cell spray foam, a specialty of Logik Roofing and Insulation, often qualifies as a Class II vapor retarder according to the International Residential Code. A vapor retarder is instrumental in controlling moisture movement within and outside a building, preventing water vapor from easily passing through the building material. In the context of good building design, managing moisture is critical to averting mold growth and preserving the performance and service life of building materials.
