SPRAY FOAM INSULATION?

“He who refuses to embrace a unique opportunity loses the prize as surely as if he had failed.”

(quote from William James, the Godfather of modern psychology)

That’s the problem with most opportunities and ‘revelations’, they rarely come along when you are expecting them, and here’s the real kicker ;

Great Opportunities Require YOU to CHANGE

Yep “Change” - that horrible uncomfortable feeling when you suddenly realise there could be a better way or an “allround better solution” to your problem. Most of us actually, deep down, right in the farthest reaches of our soul, resent change. Yes indeed, deep down we’d rather curl up and pretend the Elephant is'n't doing the "Can Can" in the Room, and put our fingers in our ears while we ignore the howling Wolf, trying to tear down our door, blissful in the knowledge that if we do nothing different, nothing will change.

And here’s the thing, when it comes to the actual comfort levels you are willing to tolerate in your home, your office, your workplace, you do exactly the same thing. You put up with draughts, you make excuses for damp and funny smelling clothes and bed linen,you make excuses to yourself and your loved ones as you shiver your way through each and every winter, and you rationalise away those every increasing energy bills and home heating oil bills.

There is a better way and Congratulations, you've just found it. The answer to your woe's is a revolutionary spray foam Insulation that will transform your home, your office and workplace into the place you never dreamed possible.

Fusion Spray in Place Seamless Foam Insulation is like having an insulation factory at your home, on your site manufacturing and placing your ideal depth of insulation in a seamless airtight sheet.

OK. Hands Up. We Admit it . We Own Up.

We have to 'fess' up and agree that not everyone in Ireland is as fascinated by spray foam insulation as we are............. but hold on a minute. We do know however that a lot of Irish people pride themselves on knowing what the best of anything is. If for example you are the type of person that enjoys knowing what makes a Tag Heur different from a Timex, Cashmere different from Polyester and Real Leather different from Vinyl then you might enjoy discovering the differences between Spray Foam Insulation and all the other ‘wanabe’ insulation's.

Insulation and your home's ability to retain heat affects your life in ways your probably haven't thought about. If that's you tiptoeing around your freezing cold floor each morning then the following is for you. If you dream of your home being like your favourite holiday apartment in the Costa Del Sol then read on.
If you're fed up shelling out your 'hard earned' each month on heating utility bills, then my friend what you read below can and will put you on the road to 'snugness' Nirvana, and passive heating Narnia.

At Fusion we we like to practice what we preach and at last check, all the guys working for Fusion Spray Foam Contractors have been so impressed with this wonder foam that they have had their homes sprayed and wow what a difference that made.
Crazy thing happened the day after one of the guys in Fusion insulated his attic with our open cell E500 foam. His wife phoned him and asked “honey did you leave the water immersion heater on” .
Our guy said he hadn’t and asked her why the question. “Well the immersion heater hasn’t been on for the last 24 hours so, something strange is going on”
What was that strange thing? The water in the immersion cylinder was coming out of the hot taps at 17-18 degrees centigrade and the air temperature was 2 degrees centigrade outside the house.

This had never happened before and the couple had been in the house for over 6 years. What was happening was the ‘header tank’ water storage in the attic was at 17 degrees because the attic had just been insulated. Heat that would normally have rushed out of the attic void was now staying inside the building envelope. Typically that header tank water would have been about 6 degrees to 8 degrees C. Pretty incredible stuff.

We get lots of other reports from customers of ‘less obvious’ stuff that happens we SUPERINSULATE a home with our Spray Foam.

One woman told us recently that she doesn’t switch the electric blanket on anymore at night during the winter, something she hadn’t done for years

One of our customers said his house sounded a ‘scarily quiet’ because he couldn’t hear the wind blowing through his attic like he used to.

Another customer told us recently that he was waking up in the mornings earlier, and he was finding it a pleasure to actually get out of bed and get dressed such was the warmth and draft free atmosphere in his bedroom.

We get a lot of enjoyment from real life feedback like that because it reinforces what we learned along time ago. Spray Foam Insulation insulates like no other insulation. It’s the unique combination of abilities that makes Fusion Spray Foam such high performing insulation. It’s the double whammy of great U values and air tightness that makes spray foam insulation the best money can buy. For decades most people just looked at U values as the deciding difference between insulation's but in the last few years the word is finally getting through.
Basically U values without air tightness is like a car that can do 100 miles to the gallon, but you find out afterwards that the car can only be that economical if it stays under 5 miles per hour. Not much use. Insulation is a lot like that . The really incredible thing about many insulation's on the market today is that they can’t really cope with real world situations. Yes they may be cheap and cheerful. Yes you may be able to drive into every builder’s hardware store and fill up a truck with them but most of them fall at the first hurdle. Let us give you an example.

Take these wooly, fibre cellouse based insulations that find their way into so many attics across Ireland. Great performance figures on paper but get them damp with condensation and you may as well have empty bean cans in your attic for all the insulating ability they will have. But that my dear reader is a story for another day.
Meanwhile back to Insulation Class;

Spray Foam Insulation and what’s the big deal with open cell and closed cell foams? We’ll try not to bore you with chemistry but for simplicity, polyurethane spray foam as it’s known can be divided into two basic types of foam, although we hasten to add there are so many variations within that division, you could probably get a PHD just for listing them and their chemical formulas.
Foam starts life as a liquid. But not just any old liquid. Some of the brainiest people in organic chemistry get all excited and territorial about their formulas for the liquids that go into creating a good insulating foam. The ‘ foam liquid’ is in fact two liquids. One is Isocyanate usually called the “A” component or part, and the other component is the setting agent usually referred to as resin “B” part.
Then along comes a special high pressure pump which can compress these two liquids and heat them simultaneously and pump them, still separate out to the foam gun, usually located at the end of a long run of heated hoses . This gun is a really clever bit of kit (and expensive) as it has to keep the two liquids apart until the very last millisecond when the liquids are about to be sprayed onto the wall or attic cavity. At the very tip of the gun. The two hot pressurised liquids finally get to ‘get sticky’ with each other and then “A” and “B” meet in a union that chemically could keep a science conference going for a full week.

It only takes a microsecond and then alchemy takes over and foam is formed which shoots out of the gun and sticks to every solid surface it meets and if that wasn’t enough it then expands like crazy.

Now it’s at this point the differences between Closed Cell and open cell become obvious. open cell’s party trick is that it expands up to four times more than closed cell foam, which typically is 200-300 times its original liquid volume and when solid which only takes a few seconds, is kinda spongy to the touch . The reason it’s called open cell is that the walls of the tiny cells that form in the open cell are technically open. Not that You or I would notice, but open to vapour passing through the foam under mild pressure. It’s this trick that open cell performs so well i.e. being able to billow up and seal every nook, every blind corner in your attics and walls and stop wind and air movement yet it will still allow your stone, concrete and timber to breathe. This can be so handy if you have an old style ventilated attic or cavity wall structure in your home or building. Another great ability of open cell is that it’s a great sound insulator, so you would really want to consider open cell for the job of sealing between say an upstairs and down stairs ceiling void if noise transmission from footfall upstairs was a concern. open cell unlike its closed cell cousin is not waterproof, and you would want to consider closed cell foam instead if for example you were insulating a swimming pool or other high humidity environments.

Closed Cell foam is like the big tough brother of open cell and its unique abilities become obvious straight away, when sprayed. Due to its chemical make up its ‘sets’ harder and those tiny cells we told you about earlier are no longer open. They are closed, but filled with an inert gas. This my friend is where the action takes place. These closed gas filled cells are for all practical purposes waterproof, vapour proof and closed to air and gas movement. Typically Closed cell foam per square inch has a higher U value than open cell and as such it doesn’t have to be sprayed on as thick. Its open cell’s rigidity or strength that gives the foam another of its great abilities. open cell has structural capabilities and by remaining rigid can be extremely useful when it comes to being sprayed under concrete, into basement floor or for under floor heating . Closed cell can also make your roof more rigid and ‘stick’ your roof tiles better. Closed cell is also great in highly wet environments as it won’t soak water and can resist high humidity. Closed cell wouldn’t have the sound insulating properties of open cell, but it’s no slouch either and you will easily notice its sound insulating abilities when applied to a stud wall cavity or ceiling.

The list of abilities doesn’t end there either. Both our open cell E500 and Closed cell E2000 comes with a lifetime warranty, so you don’t have to worry about it shrinking, warping, getting damp or simply letting you down. Our foam is there for keeps, for the life of your building. Finding the best spray foam contractors; Fusion Foam Insulation is perhaps Ireland's most experienced foam insulation company. There are few types of construction projects that we haven’t been involved in from Homes, Offices, Schools, Shops Industrial Buildings you name it we,ve been there. We’ve seen so many applications for our foam but it hasn’t taken the edge off our appetite to meet new challenges and help new customers.

We don’t take pot shots at our competition and we like to think that if we point out a weakness in a ‘type’ of insulation, we can stand over that claim. Thing is most people in Ireland are experts in Insulation types and many of us don’t realise it. Most of us, since childhood have lived, worked and played in buildings that simply didn’t perform when it came to decent comfort standards. In this day and age since we have become more energy aware and cost conscious, insulation has come centre focus. We now want zero energy homes, we want buildings that are passively heating themselves and all of want to avoid the costs and downsides of heavy hydrocarbon usage. Modern buildings are increasingly using high tech membranes and construction materials, so it continually amazes us when we see ‘old’ type insulation systems still being specified. The way we view that logic, is that if an insulation system has failed you before why would you use it again?

Fusion Closed Cell insulation foam is ;

Your’re thinking “I’m convinced,I’d like to have the Fusion Guys insulate my exterior walls and internal walls, but I’m worried Ill upset my builder guy, who’s specced roll and sheet insulation, for my walls?”


The good news is most builders really don’t like handling sheet and roll insulations. Why?

1.    Because their guys end up with bits of glass wool stuck in places that glass wool shouldn’t really every enter.
2.    Because most sheet and roll insulations are bulky, hard to handle and tie up valuable real estate on the building site
3.    Most sheet and roll insulations are a real pain to install, especially when trying to seal duct holes and round openings such as cable and service holes, openings and voids.

Our guys take all the hassle out of wall insulating . Our foam arrives on site in our vehicle and when we spray it in place, it happens really quickly, efficiently with no mess and no waste.

So your builder doesn’t have to worry. It really speeds up construction time and it sure frees up storage on site.

It's a win win for everyone.

So what’s the catch? “This Insulation is too good to be true?” youre thinking.  Yeah there is a catch and we may as well be up front with you. Our insulation costs a little bit more than sheet and roll insulation. But then quality never came cheap and if it does we’d be suspicious.


We can’t compete on upfront cost with roll type insulations, that’s a fact, but what we can say is that over the life of your building Fusion Insulation will repay itself many times over. Fusion Insulation will give you a proven RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI) often in less than 5 years.


Ask yourself this question. “How many buildings have you lived in and worked since you were a kid, that had traditional roll and sheet insulations that were truly warm, truly dry, and really comfortable?


Not many? Well if that’s the case how good an investment were those insulations. The moral of the story is that cheap doesn’t always mean good value.
