@SprayedFoam I have done energy audits on thousands of homes, the only ones I would qualify as dangerous requiring immediate attention were spray foam houses. When I started and first tested a foam home years ago I found out quick they actually had a greater btu load, used more energy. I have yet to audit a home that will save more than they paid for the foam, it is a bad investment, and if you don't get fresh air, it is plain dangerous. License # CAN06347 DONT FORGET FRESH AIR FOAMERS!
@SprayedFoam btw, why do you think fiberglass has owned 85% of the residential insulation market for over 40 years? Hmmmmmmm. I feel sorry for the customers paying banks interest of 180$ more a year for insulation that saves them nothing, or costs them more on bills. We are in our 12th subdivision, 8th one shared with other builders, we ACTUALY COMPARE, that is why our foam installers have gotten out of the residential market here, or are just giving up.
Why is the attic 85 when it is 105 outside, only one reason people, your cooling it. Why? Cause some foam selling retard doesn't know any better. I have seen foam idiots leave houses with 0,05 ACH, which may kill the homeowners over time by holding in voc's from interior finishes/carpet I am always told,why are the utility bills still so high? Yeah, your heating and cooling an attic with R-19. Sometimes I find it just falling off or missing. What is required to sell/install spray foam? The tools
@SprayedFoam The same reason crack dealers sell crack, to make money. There are commercial purposes for it, but residential is mainly clowns that don't know any better. Three types of btu gain in a home: radiation, conduction, convection. Our houses are too tight without foam, .25-.30 ACH. So there is nothing to gain with convection. Our attics are R-49, foam attics here are R-20ish, very INFERIOR conductin wise. Lastly radiation can be stopped with radiant barrier, not foam. I actually prove it
@d1incharge you dont have a clue. Why then do companies like Dow, BASF, Bayer, Certainteed, Huntsman, Johns Manville and the like, all suppliers of spray foam insulation, sell this high performance system that DOES save money. The poor folks living in your homes :(

foam is cool. We use it in MM for alot of goods like gear, mats, and insulation for the gym walls (metal).
