Benefits of Foam Insulation

Status in the community and premium pricing at time of sale

Being green is socially responsible either in a full spray foam insulated home or in a blown in blanket hybrid performance insulation system . The Greater Austin Home Builders Association MAX Awards presented a home done by BioTex Foam the Best Green House by a Custom Builder on May 2, 2009. This homeowner will be able to command a premium for this house should they decide to sell.

Recommended by Architects

Architects of prominence, such as J. Bryant Boyd, Architect, Design-Build recommend spray foam insulation when you build a new house. When architects of this stature recommend foam insulation, it is because it the de facto product. Fewer subcontractors are needed, you can often work with 2x4's instead of 2x6's, and spray foam insulation has a higher R-value per inch than fiberglass insulation, so you will be using smaller and less expensive HVAC units (resulting in lower utility bills).

Save on construction costs

Because spray foam Insulation installed by BioTex Foam provides a higher R-value per inch, homeowners using Open Cell can use 2x4 construction on exterior walls instead of the 2x6 studs required with traditional insulation. This can save on framing costs, as well as extended window and door jambs. This simple change can also increase the amount of living space by as much as 35 square feet in a 1,500-square-foot home.

Lower utility bills

Of course, lower utility bills are a major reason for choosing to use a foam insulation. Open Cell foam insulation will result in as low a utility bill as any insulation product on the market.

Spray Foam Insulation gives you a more comfortable home, free of mold and allergens.

Foam Insulation keeps out allergens by controlling the leakage. By controlling leakage (air infiltration), you are able to keep you and your family healthier and more comfortable. This is especially important in Central Texas; it seems to be the allergy capital of the world.
