Aerosol foam insulation is renowned for its durability and longevity, with an estimated life expectancy of up to 100 years. This remarkable material is tough and can last as long as your building, with little to no maintenance required. Unlike cellulose and fiberglass, aerosol foam does not deteriorate, sag or settle. The International Association of Certified Housing Inspectors states that aerosol foam insulation, adhesive tape and insulation for household wrapping can last more than 80 years.
At the same time, cellulose, loose filler, foamed cardboard, loose filler and rockwool insulators can last up to 100 years. This may seem like a long time, but many homeowners neglect their property history. Often, homeowners buy a property with old insulation. When this occurs, your estimate of the lifespan of your insulation may be overestimated. When properly installed, aerosol foam insulation lasts between 80 and 100 years. In particular, closed-cell insulation is incredibly durable because it doesn't deteriorate or show any flexibility.
Along with foam insulation, which is compressed cellulose insulation, it is the best choice for floor board insulation. When applied as an aerosol foam insulator, the material can withstand significant temperature variations, moisture accumulation, and the growth of mold and other organisms. If this problem occurs with foam insulation sprayed on the ceiling, it leaves gaps in the insulation where air can pass through. However, aerosol foam better resists common factors that cause insulation to degrade and lose its effectiveness. In open areas, such as mezzanines and attics, aerosol foam insulation is ideal for sealing and insulating these spaces.
Roof leaks can cause insulation degradation over time, as mold formation can corrode the outside and inside of the insulation. It is important to avoid placing open-cell insulation to avoid problems in insulating ceilings with sprayed foam, such as the formation of mold. If the installer does not fully understand the structural structure of the building, he may not spray with the correct density and the aerosol foam insulation in the attic may leave drafts. When moisture inside the roof penetrates the insulation, you could have problems with the foam insulation sprayed on the roof and damage it. This certification indicates the ultimate commitment, credibility, and experience in installing spray foam. However, the right combination of excess condensation and moisture with cracks and voids near the foam insulation can become the right combination for mold growth and fungi. Aerosol foam is usually less prone to external factors than other types of insulation (except in cases of significant exposure). The same applies to mezzanines; keeping the mezzanine ventilated and free of moisture is essential to ensure the effectiveness of the insulation with aerosol foam. In conclusion, when properly installed and maintained, aerosol foam insulation has an estimated life expectancy that ranges from 80 to 100 years.
This remarkable material is tough and can last as long as your building with little or no maintenance required.
