Spray Foam Cork Kerry Clare
Spray foam is a type of insulation (go to our website)that is sprayed in place through a gun. Polyurethane and Isocyanate foams are applied as a two-component mixture that comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam. Cementitious foam is applied in a similar manner but does not expand. Spray foam insulation is sprayed onto concrete slabs, into wall cavities of an unfinished wall, against the interior side of sheathing, or through holes drilled in sheathing or drywall into the wall cavity of a finished wall
Over 95% of Irish householders, apartment occupants use heating for more than 335 days of the year. The figure in the UK is similar and there is no trend to suggest that habits in this regard will reduce. Our climate has become the most common social greeting with more and more satire on when we will eventually have a period of warm, dry weather.
Because of higher humidity and wet conditions, our houses have become home to many sources of fungal and mould attack. There are many adverse and negative health problems arising from such conditions especially the release of fungal spores into the breathable living air space.
Regardless of the climate debate, the reality is that Irish and UK weather conditions have deteriorated with lower temperatures and higher precipitation and humidity. Another sad reality is that the price of energy has increased and continues to do at alarming levels. Predictions in early 2013 suggest that energy costs are likely to double by 2018.
We are all aware of the negative environmental impact of using fossil fuels but look at these more of a global issue rather than an urgent door step problem. Every unit of heat from oil, gas and coal has a rapidly growing carbon cost / tax. In addition, the raw material cost is also increasing due to depleting resources.
If you own an A rated passive house using only renewable energy or fully insulated house we cannot help you. However, if you amongst those without proper insulation then, you are losing money every minute of the day. If you decide to do nothing your bills will more than double within five years.
