Foam Insulation - Closed Cell

Foam insulation is one of the best ways to go Green.  That is why we have chosen to use closed 3/4″ to 1″ of closed cell foam around all of the exterior walls and on the ceiling of the building.  Ken Wells, owner of Poly Pro Insulation, was gratious enough to give me a tour of his truck to show me exactly what happens behind the walls.  The barrells to the left and right of him contain two different fluilds.  When the 2 fluids get to the machine (pictured to his right) it distributes the correct amount of each fluid into the tube to be distributed and sprayed out by the foam installer.  As displayed below the installer must wear both a mask and a suit to protect himself from the now 360 degree liquid that he sprays out of his gun to cover the walls.  The closed cell foam hardens as it hits the walls and does an excellent job of blocking up all of the tiny little holes and cracks that traditional fiberglass can often miss.  For more information on foam insulation http://www.polyprollc.net/
