Insulation That Adds Value Increasing energy prices, expanding focus on environmental performance and more demanding building codes, especially where air barriers are mandated, have turned a spotlight on the contributions of closed-cell spray polyurethane foam insulation.
Bayseal™CC spray foam insulation adds sustainability, durability, energy efficiency and improved occupant comfort to residential construction projects. When properly installed, Bayseal spray foam insulation material has a low lifecycle cost, minimal environmental impact, and design flexibility. Bayseal can be spray-applied to walls, ceilings, floors, foundations, piping, unvented attics, and crawl spaces. Bayseal offers an aged R-value of 6.9 per inch and is an ideal thermal and moisture management system that seals the building envelope for optimal insulation value.
