BioBased Insulation is a soy-based polyurethane spray-in-place foam insulation. This innovative product has excellent thermal and sound insulating properties that can help to create a healthy, comfortable, energy efficient, and durable residential or commercial structure. When BioBased Insulation is sprayed into a floor, wall, ceiling, or roof deck, it expands and fills all cracks, crevices, and voids. This creates an effective air tight seal which guards against air infiltration, the number one source of energy loss in a structure.
Because of its high R-values and not leaking, BioBased Insulation allows for the use of smaller, less expensive heating and cooling equipment. The smaller HVAC unit uses less energy and is quieter. The result is a smaller monthly utility bill, a quieter and more comfortable structure, improved indoor air quality, and a stronger defence against mold and mildew. BioBased Insulation, unlike traditional insulation (fibrous cellulose & fiber glass), is not fiber based and contains no harmful particulates that can cause irritation or allergic reactions.
BioBased Insulation offers two unique insulation products suitable for both home and commercial structures. The two products include BioBased 501, an open cell, semi-rigid spray foam, and BioBased 1701, a closed cell, rigid spray foam. In houses, we nearly always use BioBased 501 in Central Texas. Occasionally, we will us 1701 for a commercial structure.
BioBased Insulation has significant advantages over conventional insulation materials:
