The key to sealing around windows is to stop all airflow between the interior of your house and the exterior. Most heat loss and heat gain are due to the unwanted movement of air through the building’s cracks. In addition to heat movement, air leakage also provides a channel for moisture to travel into and out of the house, reducing comfort by allowing the relative humidity in the house to be higher or lower than what is desired. The key to stopping this type of loss is the use of a material that will not allow air to flow through it. Window insulation foam is designed to seal around windows and doors, making sure that no gaps are allowing the air to flow through it.
Increase Your Energy Efficiency
Air leakage has a significant impact on your energy consumption and overall air quality in both homes and buildings. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), random air infiltration through gaps and cracks accounts for 25 to 40 percent of the energy loss in most residential structures. And where there is air, there is most likely moisture, which can lead to mold and mildew. Regardless of whether it is for new construction or retrofitting, window insulation foam offers an integrated system of foam air sealant solution to provide an airtight seal for buildings and homes, thereby minimizing energy loss and moisture damage caused by air leaks.
Insulation is one of the smartest investments you can make in your home because it provides year-round comfort and savings. Insulation keeps your home warmer in the winter, which in turn lowers your heating costs. In the summer, insulation keeps your home cooler, which in turn eases the load on your air conditioner, therefore, lowering your electric bill.
Quieter, More Comfortable Living
Insulation absorbs and reduces the unwanted noise from a home’s appliances, audio equipment, conversation and other sources of sound that are constantly being transferred to your walls and floors. Insulation also keeps your family more comfortable by making it easier for your furnace and air conditioner to maintain a constant temperature. Now that’s comfortable living.
