Spray foam insulation in Toronto, Ontario is an environmentally safe and healthy product. However, the process of applying it can be dangerous for those not properly trained. The blowing agents used to help the insulation take shape are known as isocyanates, which are highly flammable. If the isocyanates are inhaled or come into contact with your skin, they can cause irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract. If exposure is prolonged, it can lead to chemical bronchitis and asthma. This problem is easily avoidable by hiring an experienced professional to apply the spray.
Aside from its energy efficiency benefits, spray foam can also improve indoor air quality by sealing cracks and openings that let in dust, debris, and other pollutants. This can reduce the workload of your HVAC system and increase the longevity of your furnace, air conditioner, and other appliances.
How to Calculate Spray Foam Insulation
The first step in calculating the amount of spray foam you’ll need is measuring the length and width of each surface that will be insulated. Then, multiply these measurements to determine the square footage. You can use this method to calculate how much spray foam is needed for walls, ceilings, and floors.
You can also use this formula to estimate the cost of your project. Simply multiply the total square footage by our rate per board foot to get your rough estimate. This will allow you to prepare accurate and competitive bids for your clients.
