Seal the Envelope Against High Energy Bills
Air infiltration is the largest single cause of heat loss in most homes, accounting for about 40 percent of energy loss. An effective air barrier is critical to help keep conditioned (heated or cooled) air in your home from escaping through gaps in the building envelope and being replaced by outside air. STYROFOAM™ SPF Insulation provides superior insulation and resistance to air infiltration. By effectively sealing your home, STYROFOAM™ SPF Insulation virtually eliminates the drafts and random air leakage that contribute to discomfort...and high energy bills. |

Dow Chemistry Goes a Long Way
Nearly 60 years ago, Dow invented STYROFOAM™ extruded polystyrene insulation — the Blue™ rigid foam Recognized by builders and homeowners worldwide for quality, long-term performance and value. Dow has expanded its innovative chemistry to develop STYROFOAM™ Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Insulation, for seamless protection against air and moisture infiltration around the building envelope.
STYROFOAM™ SPF Insulation is a professionally installed two-component insulation system. The spray-applied liquid expands during installation and cures to a rigid foam that, when properly applied completely seals and insulates cavities, cracks and penetrations throughout the building envelope. STYROFOAM™ SPF Insulation:
· reduces drafts and moisture intrusion for a more comfortable home · saves energy - reducing monthly heating / cooling bills by up to 50 percent · provides a quieter indoor environment by minimizing airborne sounds · increases strength and rigidity of the wall assembly, providing added durability · contributes to improved indoor air quality · maximizes home resale value

Control Moisture
Moisture is the number 1 enemy of most building materials and is the leading cause of building failure. The most significant source of moisture in buildings is air infiltration and air movement within the wall. This can contribute to condensation and create optimal conditions for mold and mildew growth. STYROFOAM™ SPF Insulation fills every gap and crack, halting the majority of airborne moisture movement. The closed cell foam will not wick or hold moisture, and is not a known nutrient source for mold and mildew.
Insulate for Maximum Energy Savings and Value
To insulate is to reduce the transfer of heat. The more effective a material is at reducing heat transfer, the higher its R-value. (R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulation power.) STYROFOAM™ SPF Insulation features once of the highest insulation values available, for maximum energy savings (R-value as high as 6.5 per inch initial* - almost double that of fiberglass). Homeowners who have chosen spray foam insulation typically see impressive reductions in their heating and cooling bills - up to 50 percent savings over similar homes insulated with fiberglass.** Improving energy efficiency with an up-front investment in spray foam can add significant value to your home, increasing resale value by approximately $20 for every $1 reduction in annual utility bills.†
* After installation, STYROFOAM™ SPF Insulation delivers a long-term, stable R-value of 5.1. ** Source: Honey well † Source: the Appraisal Journal ®™ Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) or an affiliated company of Dow
