Spray Foam Insulation in Calhoun, GA

Calhoun's a fast-moving Gordon County town right on I-75, and we run the corridor down there regularly. There's steady residential growth on the edges and big carpet and distribution buildings everywhere you look — and both leak. New subdivisions go up with builder-minimum fiberglass; the big commercial buildings burn money conditioning wide-open metal-roofed space. Either way it traces back to an envelope that isn't sealed, and that's what we do.

NEW BUILD, BUILDER-MINIMUM

Why Calhoun homes need spray foam

New subdivisions go up fast with fiberglass that leaves the attic and walls leaking air from day one — new doesn't mean sealed. Older homes leak from age. Fiberglass can't stop air swapping in and out either way, so the HVAC fights the attic and the bill climbs. Open-cell spray foam expands into the gaps and seals the whole shell. We'll seal and encapsulate the crawl space too, so ground moisture and humid air stop coming up into the house. Whether your place is brand new or been here a while, a tight envelope is what finally lets your system keep up and brings the bill down.

NEW HOMES AND BIG BUILDINGS 

New Homes, plants, warehouses — we handle it all

With I-75 running through Calhoun, commercial and industrial is a huge piece of the picture — and open-cell foam is right at home on a warehouse or plant roof, stopping condensation and cutting the cost of conditioning massive square footage. On the residential side we foam new construction before drywall and retrofit existing attics and crawl spaces. New build or big box, the principle's identical: stop the air from moving through the building.

By applying spray foam directly to the underside of the roof deck, it now insulates the attic space from the extreme heat that once radiated thorough the hot shingles sheathing and roof. The severe temperatures no longer exist in the attic. In short, the attic now becomes a passively "conditioned" space of the house that is just as comfortable as any other room in the home.

Benefits

A roof system insulated with Foametix spray foam reduces energy several ways. Energy loss from ducts located in the attic is essentially eliminated. The top of the building is much tighter resulting in less infiltration and exfiltration, so excess moisture isn't pulled into the attic. Infiltration through the ceiling is also reduced. In addition, the attic temperature is remarkably lower, which further reduces energy loads.

Energy Savings

  • We're building near Calhoun — should we spray foam now?

    Yes. Foaming open walls and the attic before drywall is the cheapest, cleanest time, and it seals the gaps fiberglass leaves from day one.

  • Do you do the big distribution and carpet buildings off I-75?

    We do — foam under a metal roof stops condensation and slashes the cost of conditioning large commercial space.
