Basement wall and ceiling insulation the sprayfoam way
The Pro Secrets of Great Basement Insulation:
Discover how your basement insulation can make the difference between your home feeling like a dungeon or feeling like a Malibu Beach House. Your basement, if not properly insulated has the potential to be a heat trap for your entire home, sucking heat from the ground floor of your home and making your home feel damp and hollow. If you’ve dreamed of a super insulated, energy efficient warm home but fear that a damp cold basement might wreak havoc on those plans, then we can provide you with an airtight insulation system that will make your home the envy of your friends and neighbours .
If you’ve visited too many basements that were damp, freezing cold horror stories, and made you feel like you just wanted to get out of there as fast as your legs could carry you then you will be thrilled to discover an insulation system that can have your basement walls performing like super-insulated heat vaults stopping heat escaping and a bulwark to cold and damp sneaking through from the surrounding subterranean earth back-fill.
Your basement can be the warmest room in your home, office or building and you don’t have to use high tech construction systems to achieve that super insulated, super efficient performance that you dream of.
Fusion Insulation Basement Wall and Ceiling foam deals a killer blow to heat escape, kicks dampness right out of the stadium and turns you basement into the warm welcoming space that you always imagined your basement could be.
Here’s how it works. Fusion Spray in Place foam is actually a liquid foam, and when we spray it onto your basement walls, (whether those walls are reinforced concrete, stud partition or block and brick construction), magically does a really neat thing.
Incredibly, it instantly expands over 50 times its original volume, and at the same time fills every void, every nook, every little hole it comes in contact with, like no other type of insulation could ever hope to.
The really clever part of how our foam works is the way its stops heat moving from inside to outside and cold from outside to inside. Our closed cell foam is filled with millions of gas filled cells. These ‘closed cells’ trapped in our foam are in fact gas filled super-insulators. This gas is inert and is one of the best ways to stop the transmission of heat across your walls to the outside.
The good stuff doesn’t end there though. Because our closed cell foam has these gas filled cells, they also do another really neat thing . They stop water and vapour escaping and support you vapour barrier in your basement construction. That’s why for example our foam is an excellent insulator for boat hulls and ship hulls.
It’s this waterproofing ability that really sets our foam insulation apart from all other types of insulation. If you think about it for a moment you will realise that other types of insulation come in really two types. Sheet and Rolls.
The Roll type of insulation on paper looks good, but in practice falls down literally. Roll type fibre insulation in order to do its job has to remain absolutely dry and remain absolutely uncompressed for it to retain its U values and insulating properties.
What happens most roll type insulations when they are put in your basement and partition walls? It gets damp, it gets soggy and it sags and compresses.
After a short time roll insulations can loose its insulating performance dramatically. Your roll insulation can in fact turn from insulator to conductor once it gets damp from condensation and then to your horror it becomes a rather good conductor of heat, which is exactly what you don’t want it do .
I know you’re thinking that that’s crazy, but the hard cold truth is that these woolly roll type insulations were designed to be installed in environments that are absolutely bone dry and with no air movement across them . This is why for example most fibreglass roll type insulations are used in furnace and boiler housings i.e. dry and airtight.
But this isn’t what your basement will be like. Your basement needs an insulation that’s impervious to water and is vapour tight. What about board type insulations you’re thinking? They wont compress and wont get saggy . True! But they come in sheets don’t they? They have to be jointed, taped over and plastered over. Here’s another shocking scientific fact. Joints in any insulation whether they are board insulation or roll insulation leak heat and destroy U values.
