The direct monthly savings on your utilities will more than pay the extra cost of purchasing spray foam insulation.
Our economical Foamsulate spray foam insulation increases your savings. Besides direct dollar savings, you get a product which the Environmental Protection Agency (epa.gov) says will enhance your health and productivity. How much is increased health and productivity worth? This is a huge intangible return on investment of foam insulation. Besides saving money, foam has many other Benefits.
Because foam insulation, when installed by BioTex Foam, provides better insulation and temperature control, homeowners using BioBased can use 2x4 construction on exterior walls instead of the 2x6 studs required with traditional insulation. This can save on framing costs, as well as extended window and door jambs. This simple change can also increase the amount of living space by as much as 35 square feet in a 1,500-square-foot home.

Nothing is greener than energy not consumed. Unlike traditional insulating materials like fiberglass or cellulose, BioBased foam insulation seals and fills everything, even tiny cracks and holes so small you don't see them. This insulating barrier virtually eliminates energy-wasting leakage which can significantly cut heating and cooling costs. You will have a dramatic drop in utility bills from conventional insulation.
When BioTex insulates your building, you will actually require a smaller HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) unit. Spray foam Insulation, when paired with other responsible building components, can help residential and commercial building owners dramatically lower monthly utility bill while benefiting from a quieter and more comfortable structure, improved indoor air quality, and a stronger defence against mold and mildew (to prevent your studs and beams from rotting).

Foam Insulation won't shrink or settle and helps prevent condensation that could lead to decay of building materials. It is fire resistant and does not give sustenance to bugs or varmints. Foam Insulation is made to last indefinitely which greatly adds to it's affordability. We are hard put to come up with any logical reason at this time to not go with spray foam insulation. The extra initial cost is more than off-set by government incentives and lower utility bills.
