5 Reasons to choose Gaco Wallfoam spray polyurethane foam insulation


SEAMLESS AIR BARRIER
Superior home insulation begins by keeping outside air out &inside air in. The more better the "Air Seal" the better your insulation will be. Superior Air Seal begins & ends with Gaco WallFoam.




SOLID INVESTMENT
Gaco WallFoam provides energy savings of up to 40% in all climates and seasons. In many cases the initial cost of Gaco WallFoam pays for itself within 5 years.


A HEALTHIER HOME
Gaco WallFoam eliminates the possibility of root causes of mold growth, pollutants, rodents, and pests from entering your home.


A STRONGER HOME
Gaco WallFoam is sprayed into the stud wall cavity tying the studs and the exterior sheathing together as one, resulting in a stronger home.


HIGH R-VALUE
A higher R-Value will provide more insulation value per inch than a product with a lower value. The result is a rapid return on your investment through heating and cooling savings.

Its not too late to insulate your home for the winter!

As winter pushes forward and the inevitable Michigan polar vortex closes in, it may be time to think about insulating the attic! Look no further, Home Base Improvement & Construction is your Downriver, Michigan insulation installer experts. Heres a few tips to consider when choosing insulation for your home and why Owens Corning insulation may be the perfect fit.


Insulating with EcoTouch® PINK® FIBERGLAS™ Batts & Rolls
The most affordable way to keep your home comfortable is to install insulation in your attic. We make this easy with our EcoTouch® PINK® FIBERGLAS™ Batts & Rolls . For maximum energy efficiency, we recommend about 18 inches of insulation for attic floors. If your joist cavities are completely filled, lay the new insulation in long runs perpendicular to the joists, and use leftover pieces for small spaces. Remember to keep insulation 3” away from recessed lighting fixtures and from any metal chimneys, gas water heater flues or other heat-producing devices.


Help reduce mold and improve ventilation
Without effective cross-ventilation, summertime heat buildup in the attic can result in a wasteful and costly strain on a home’s cooling system… and on your comfort. And in the cold months of winter, harmful ice dams can form if trapped moisture is not removed. A well-ventilated attic, on the other hand, has undereave or soffit vents, which allow fresh air into the attic. Installing our raft-R-mate® attic rafter vents between rafters keeps air flowing properly up to the ridge, where vents allow the air to exit, helping to keep your home comfortable and dry.


Insulating your attic stairway
Even if your attic is well insulated, you may be leaving a perfect path for energy to escape—right up the stairway. But the Owens Corning Attic Stairway Insulator helps eliminate this insulation gap to better protect against heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Designed to fit perfectly over standard attic stairwell openings, it's lightweight, easy to install and delivers an R-value of 10. Used with the other attic insulation components mentioned here, it provides excellent energy performance for your home.
