Can You Install It Yourself?That can be a very touchy subject. Anytime you are spraying chemicals, there are safety hazards that can be an issue. In order to install spray foam insulation in Atlanta, Georgia, you must have the protective safety gear to keep from getting chemical exposure.
This product until it is cured does what is called an off-gas process. Meaning that it will release chemicals through the vapors as the chemicals are working and doing their jobs. With this being released out into your structure, if it is not well ventilated it could reach a level beyond the OSHA safety guidelines. |

Where Can You Buy It?As you are walking through your local hardware store, you will probably come across a display of spray foam insulation in Atlanta, GA. Some of these locations will have types of kits put together with small canisters that have a sprayer attached. You will need to make sure that these canisters are ready to spray and have all the necessary chemicals ready for you to start to work.
The price of many of these are not cheap. I found this for sale online through one of your local chain hardware stores. There are two tanks and a sprayer, that will cover 1200 board feet if you only spray ½ inch thick, but it will only give you a R-Value of a 3.1. There is a chart that shows coverage for this product. If you want the moisture barrier, you must spray this at 2 inches thick. This cuts your coverage down to 300 board feet. This kit sells for $770.00. |

Questions to Ask Yourself

R-ValueSpray foam insulation in Atlanta, GA offers the highest R-Value of any other type of insulation that is available and approved today. In comparison, the next most popular form of insulation would be the fiberglass batts that have been used in structures for many years. The comparison of the R-value of the fiberglass batts is a 2.2 compared to a 1-inch layer of spray foam that offers an R-Value average of 6.5 for the closed cell and a 3. 7 for the open cell.
This is a huge difference for properly insulating your structure. The R-Value is calculated by the lack of energy or heat loss that occurs with the use of various insulations and the reduction is then calculated by professionals.
