Spray Foam Insulation Wausau, WI

What’s the right insulation for a Wausau home or commercial building?

​Insulation is one of those things you don’t think about until it’s too late. Either it's not doing the job right, it was never installed or you’re about to install insulation in a new building. But, what is the right insulation for your home or commercial building, especially in Wausau? According to the Department of Energy, the recommended insulation should meet an R-Value of R-49 or higher in Wausau, Wisconsin.
 
So, now you probably have two questions:
  1. What's an R-Value?
  2. What insulation meets, or exceeds, this requirement?
 
We answer both of those for you below.

​What is R-value?

​In a nutshell, an R-value represents how well a barrier resists the flow of heat from one area to another. In this case, the ability of the insulation to keep the temperature outside from affecting the temperature inside.

​Now, there is a really complicated formula that we could show you, but it’s not as important as understanding that the higher the R-value, the more effective the insulation is as resisting temperature changes.

What insulation material meets, or exceeds, this requirement?

Spray Foam Insulation Wausau WI
Spray foam insulation is considered the best insulation for the Wausau area. Spray foam insulation is one of the most efficient insulation barriers. They tend to have the highest R-Value ratings and they work in almost any application for your home, office, or other building.
 
There are two types of spray foam insulation. One is open-cell foam and the other is closed-cell foam insulation. We’ll highlight the differences below.

Open-Cell Foam Insulation vs. Closed-Cell Foam Insulation

Open Cell Foam Insulation 
  • Extremely lightweight
  • Easy to manipulate
  • Great for sound-proofing
  • Expands a LOT (up to 100x)
Closed Cell Foam Insulation
  • Very dense and not easily damaged
  • Does not expand much when installed
  • Impermeable to water
  • ​Highest R-value on the market
Spray foam insulation works great in attic insulation installations as well. Fiberglass insulation and cellulose insulation is not nearly as effective for attic insulation and/or crawl space insulation installations.
Remember, we said that we would get into other insulation options. Well, there are plenty to choose from. In fact, here’s a quick list of all the different types of insulation ranked in order of R-Value efficiency (high to low):
  • Closed-cell spray foam insulation
  • Open-cell spray foam insulation
  • Polyisocyanurate (foil-faced) insulation
  • Polyurethane board insulation
  • Polystyrene board insulation
  • Cellulose insulation
  • Mineral wool insulation
  • Fiberglass insulation
 
Each has their own benefit, from cost saving, to sound proofing, to air sealant, to moisture barrier, to longer lifespan, etc. However, for your Wausau building, your best insulation option will most likely be spray foam insulation.
So, now you know that spray foam is the best option for your Wausau home, office, or other building. Now, it’s time to get in touch with a contractor that can help you with your insulation needs. If you're interested in the best spray foam insulation Wausau WI has to offer, then call us today and let us give you an offer you can’t refuse.
