Fiberglass is a man-made material used in construction for thermal insulation and sound proofing. It is made of very thin glass fibers, which is a lightweight, cost-effective, and practical option for both residential and commercial applications. Fiberglass serves a number of useful purposes, but the most important application of wool-type fiber glass is as insulation used primarily to control temperature and sound in homes, commercial buildings and industrial operations. Finally, because it is made of glass, fiberglass doesn’t burn or absorb water. As manufacturers have become more aware of conservation, a larger percentage of new fiberglass is made using recycled glass.

Before we begin the application of spray foam insulation, FoamSeal Insulation Systems offers and recommends the removal of your existing insulation to clean up your attic environment and to guarantee we can apply spray foam insulation all the way to the exterior top-plate. The existing insulation over the years will collect dust, mold and mildew so the removal of the contaminated insulation will provide a healthier and cleaner environment and prevent dust and odor seepage into your home or business.

With the application of spray foam insulation to your roof deck, you will no longer need the insulation barrier between the living area and the attic that was provided by the existing insulation. Therefore, if the existing insulation remains, it has no purpose other than to continue collecting contaminates. With the old insulation gone and the more beneficial spray foam insulation installed onto your roof deck, the temperature in your attic will be within just a few degrees of what the conditioned space is in your home or business.
