Spray Foam Insulation in Paola, KS

Spray Foam Insulation in Paola works with some of the older housing in our area. Paola's town plat was laid out by 1855, the railroad arrived in 1870, and in 1898 the Miami County Courthouse was built. After natural gas was found in 1882, Paola became the first town west of the Mississippi to use it commercially and light the town with gas lanterns. The 2020 census counted 5,768 residents and 2,605 housing units, 8.0% vacant.

Older houses

Homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s often have plaster walls with empty cavities, balloon framing, stone or brick foundations and attics with little insulation. Dense-pack walls, rim foam and a sealed, deep attic help a lot.

Farms and barns

The countryside around Paola has pole barns, machine sheds and shops. Closed-cell foam keeps a heated shop warm and stops drip.

Less furnace time

Whatever the fuel, air sealing and attic depth cut how long the furnace has to run on a January night.

Code targets

Miami County is in climate zone 4A. ENERGY STAR recommends R-60 for an uninsulated attic there and R-49 added over 3 to 4 inches.

Typical quote

Attic sealing and depth, rim foam and dense-pack walls as separate lines so you can phase the work.

Rebates

If Evergy supplies your power, its Kansas chart lists rebates for air sealing, R-38 ceiling insulation and rim joist work; other utilities have their own programs.

Courthouse square

Homes around the 1898 courthouse and the old town square are among the oldest in the county and usually benefit most from air sealing.
