When you're discussing spray foam (SPF) insulation with customers, the more ecologically-minded ones might ask an important question: what is in your spray foam? If the spray foam materials for your construction projects are from NCFI, the answer is nothing but the best raw materials including renewal agricultural resources.

When a home feels chilly or drafty, many homeowners address their attic insulation in an effort to make the space more comfortable. Sometimes, however, it's the insulation in the basement that's to blame. Using the wrong type of insulation in the basement or failing to insulate the basement at all can lead to a number of issues ranging from a chilly home to mold accumulation.

Winter is just around the corner, and according to the Farmer's Almanac, it's going to be a chilly one. Below-normal temperatures are expected throughout the United States, and especially in the Northeast and Midwest. Remember the bitter chill of the 2016-2017 winter? Well, the 2017-2018 is expected to be just as bad, if not worse. Start improving and building energy-efficient homes now, so your winter won't be so unbearable.

When most people think of foam, they picture plush, open-cell foam such as that which is generally used in cushions and carpet padding. While these types of foam are certainly important, there is another type of foam of which you should be aware when looking for materials for your construction projects. Rigid molding foam, which comes in both high and low-density varieties, has an array of uses in many industries.

When choosing insulation for any building, home or commercial, one of the most important factors to consider is energy-efficiency. As the cost of energy rises, building codes get more stringent.

Using polyurethane insulation changes relatively little when you are planning construction timelines. While it can offer a much higher degree of protection from the elements than other types of insulation, the timing for installing it is similar to those inferior technologies.
