“Spray Polyurethane Foam Insulation is the single most important component in commercial and residential building because when SPF is installed correctly in conjunction with a properly sized and installed HVAC system, energy consumption can be reduced nearly 40%,” said Pauline Medford, owner of Carolina Foam Pros. “Those are huge numbers. SPF also increases the longevity of homes, buildings, and structures potentially reducing insurance costs. A roof deck with closed cell SPF is unlikely to blow away in a hurricane. Closed cell SPF can increase structural integrity up to 300 percent over traditional insulation.” Open cell SPF is a less expensive option, up to 30 percent less, than closed cell SPF while providing nearly all of the same benefits as closed cell SPF. Carolina Foam Pros has two SPF crews, and all sprayers are master certified, which is the highest level of certification through the Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA). Spray Polyurethane Foam is the only building product that saves a client money from the project start (no roof venting, smaller HVAC system, smaller framing members) and continues through to the end user (energy efficiency, improved air quality and structural integrity). “Most homeowners do not realize SPF is applied to the roof deck, so when you walk in your attic and look up, where you would normally see only wood, it’s spray foam. None of that nasty, unhealthy blown in or batted fiberglass is on the floor or anywhere else. And it is a sealed space. That also means the attic should now be 78- 80 degrees (if the house is 70), not 130, and that makes everything happier!” In addition to SPF used for insulation, Carolina Foam Pros offers sea wall repair, retention pond improvement, concrete leveling for driveways, garage floors, sidewalks, pool decks, even buildings, and roof coatings. With 25 years of experience in the spray polyurethane foam industry, Carolina Foam Pros has all of your residential and commercial needs covered.
