Spray Foam Insulation in Olathe, KS

Spray foam insulation goes on as a liquid, expands to fill gaps and cures into a solid layer that insulates and blocks air. In Olathe homes that matters most where outside air gets in: rim joists, kneewalls, bonus room floors, attic bypasses and walls opened during remodels. Batts and loose fill slow heat but let air move through them; foam stops it.

Closed-cell

Dense and rigid, about R-5 to R-7 per inch (HomeGuide). It slows vapor and resists water, so it is used on rim joists, basement walls, crawl space walls and roof decks without room to vent. It costs more per inch than open-cell.

Open-cell

Light and soft, about R-3.5 to R-3.7 per inch. It expands a lot, fills irregular cavities and dampens sound. It works in walls, kneewalls and roof decks where vapor is handled; we do not use it against cold concrete.

Signs you need it

A bonus room that is hot in summer and cold in winter, cold floors over the basement, drafts at outlets and baseboards, an upstairs that never matches the thermostat, or bills that rise each year. A visit shows which problems come from air leaks.

Two seasons

In Johnson County a house needs to hold cooled air in July and heated air in January. Air sealing helps in both seasons, which is why foam pays off on the leakiest parts of the house.
