Are you a builder? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Please read the information here and contact us if you’d like to be considered to be an exclusive builder we choose to partner up with to offer spray foam insulation. This means that in one of your housing additions, you would be the only builder we partner with to offer this service.

Spray Foam Insulation for Residential Builders
Building envelopes with increased insulation levels are becoming standard practice. The
building envelope separates the interior living space from the exterior elements
Comprised of the foundations, walls and roof, its job is to keep the occupants and their
possessions safe. The residential engineered building envelope does more.

Most conventional envelope systems allow significant amounts of conditioned air to
escape through cracks, gaps and holes. In fact, the United States Department of Energy
estimates that more than 40 percent of the average energy bill is wasted by
uncontrolled air leakage. It also undermines thermal performance and occupant
comfort. When air travels through faulty building envelopes, it takes moisture along for
the ride. In northern climates, when the warm, moist air from inside the home meets
the cooler outdoor conditions, it condenses, creating moisture problems within the wall
that can lead to mold or the early deterioration of structural materials. For southern
climates the reverse is true – warm, humid outdoor air infiltrates the home and
condenses when it meets the cooler,conditioned indoor space – but the results are the
same. Moisture damage and mold. The residential engineered building envelope
system –closed-cell, spray-applied polyurethane foam using blowing-agent technology–
creates a single continuous insulating air barrier from the foundations, up the wall and
across the roof. It virtually eliminates uncontrolled air leakage while providing superior
insulation performance.

Homebuyers are increasingly involved in the selection of building products used to
construct their homes. The rising cost of energy, and the discomfort associated with
allergies, asthma, mold and noise pollution have created a demand for products that
exceed traditional insulation performance.

The Bayseal spray foam insulation that we use plays multiple roles to improve the
performance of the building envelope. When properly installed, Bayseal’s open-cell
spray foam technology expands 120 times its initial volume, sealing all voids, gaps and
crevices. Spray polyurethane open-cell insulation is a perfect fit to fill cavities of any
shape, providing a continuous, protective air barrier that practically eliminates air
leakage.

Public awareness of the environment, energy consumption and climate change has
never been higher. Is it any wonder the demand for sustainable housing is also
growing? High-performance homes can help you differentiate your product
and build your business – even when the housing market is soft. Why?
Because the high-performance home gives its owner more. More comfort. More
durability. A healthier indoor environment. Lower energy bills. But if you plan to build
high-performance homes, insulation is not enough. A high-performance home needs a
high-performance residential engineered building envelope system.

You’ll sell more homes when you have a reputation for building the best
quality with the lowest maintenance requirements. Moisture poses the biggest
threat to structural integrity and durability. Our building envelope system is engineered
to last for the next generation– or ten. By controlling air movement and eliminating
condensing surfaces, ice damming and moisture damage are things of the past. The
engineered building envelope is proven to provide increased structural strength. Studies
conducted by the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) show that closed-cell
foam insulation significantly increases rack and shear resistance – making homes two
to three times stronger than traditional construction. Closed-cell foams’ insulating air
barrier system are approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
for flood-prone regions. In a flood, closed-cell foam resists water, helping to protect
the wall system and building interior from damage that can include structural
deterioration, rotting of building materials and, eventually, mold infestations.

The average American homeowner was spending $1,700 a year on energy before
prices began to rise so drastically. By combining superior insulation performance
with complete air leakage control, the residential engineered building envelope
pays for itself in energy savings – to the tune of $600 or even more than $1,000
a year!

Although many builders concentrate on selling aesthetic upgrades, a recent survey
found that home buyers are willing to invest in high performance. Increased structural
strength, improved comfort, energy savings, mold prevention and improved indoor air
quality were all areas respondents listed as priorities. The residential engineered building
envelope pays for itself in energy savings. For an added $20 to each monthly mortgage
payment, the homeowner can save $60 a month – that’s $40 every month that can go
toward other living expenses, entertainment or even for paying for those aesthetic
upgrades!
