What is super insulation? Well lets start from the base design of your home, and current standard construction
methodologies. In the past the standard exterior wall thickness was 4 inch which equates to a R Value of around 12-14,
then wall thickness' increased to 6 inch and the R value now jumped to 19. All is well and good you say, except for one
fact! The department of Energy says that for a home to be energy neutral it must have the equivalent of a 24" wall.
That means your walls should have a air tight R value of R-60 and your roof an R-100, Your home with a R-44 roof and
R-19 walls is wasting energy. This cost's you financially and also harms the environment by putting unnecessary carbon
dioxide into it.
The best way to insulate modern homes is to use a closed cell polyurethane spray foam insulation method.
This method is so far superior to any other insulation system.
At R-7 per inch a 10 inch wall will give you an R-70 a 6 inch would jump from R-19 to an astounding R-42
That's over double the insulation value of older outdated insulation systems.
Sprayed Closed Cell foam stops mold,
bugs and mice from invading your home!
