Websters Insulation Ltd - Specialists in Spray Foam Insulation

Polyurethane cavity insulation injection foam is now the number one choice for cavity insulation, more so due to rising energy costs and a general global energy saving initiative. There are many reasons for this, which mainly lie in the extensive benefits offered by the lightweight and unique nature of the cavity insulation foam substance, and its ability to bond to almost any material.

Cavity insulation foam is injected though very small holes in a liquid form, and then, within seconds, expands to the required thickness, setting rapidly into a rigid foam form. This creates a continuous membrane, filling in all gaps, also eliminating draughts and further possibilities of conducting cold air.

The effectiveness of cavity Insulation is judged and measured in terms of 'u' values. Polyurethane cavity injection foam insulation has extremely good 'u ' values or thermal efficiency. For example, when comparing PU foam to 'Rockwool', three times the thickness of 'Rockwool' would be needed, compared to foam, to achieve an equivalent 'u' value. If a cavity of say, only 2 inches is present, but a u value that only cavity insulation injection foam can achieve is required, the foam is the obvious choice.

Other benefits associated with cavity insulation injection foam are as follows:

Reduces temperature extremes, i.e. it helps to prevent environments being too hot or too cold.
Reduces noise and vibrations, such as those given off by stereos and televisions close to the parting wall of a semi detached house for example.
Helps to stabilise the two parting walls in a semi detached house for example.
Prevents condensation.
Is very long lasting.
'Works' immediately.
Performs in damp atmospheres as it has a closed cell structure, which means it is almost waterproof.
Does not get damp rotten and smelly if it is exposed to water.
Is compatible with electric wiring, there is no adverse reaction, unlike Polystyrene.

The combined effect of all these factors and benefits is making cavity insulation an increasingly popular choice generally, especially in relation to the current concerns over climate change, energy saving strategies, frequent fuel crises and price rises. It was recognised that thermal insulation can play a key role in the cost effective reduction of carbon dioxide emissions in Europe and save up to 350 MILLION TONNES per annum by 2010.

The application of cavity insulation PU foam isn't recommended to the amateur. It is only really successfully applied and gauged by skilled engineers.
