Spray Foam Insulation Before & After Photos

Before:

The living space in the home had high humidity and excessive heating costs. An unfinished crawl space with dirt floors and improper insulation will allow moisture into the home and cold to migrate from the outside.

After:

Advanced Basement Systems was called to encapsulate the crawl space and insulate the exterior walls up to the header with spray foam. This will prevent moisture from entering the area and insulate the space from the cold outside.

If your floors are cold and you have high energy bills, give Advanced Basement Systems a call!

Before

The homeowner had an old shop with steel sides and roof intended for use all year long. Simple finishing was planned for the interior, which includes proper insulation and HVAC for climate control. Spray foam is a proven method to insulate very well and will help the HVAC system keep the interior work spaces comfortable and warm in the winter and cool during the summer. It adds rigidity to the construction for durability over time along with sound buffering through the walls and ceiling.

After

Advanced Basement Systems applied a 2-lb closed-cell spray foam on the walls and vaulted ceiling to provide proper air/vapour barrier and high R value insulation. Once complete, the shop is ready for the walls and ceiling to be finished.

Before

The owners of the home wanted to update the crawl space to help improve the comfort in the living areas of the home. The work included full encapsulation of the crawl space and spray foam insulation along all exterior walls.

Building code requires a thermal barrier over spray foam insulation in any interior space of a building that is heated or used as living space. This is a fire safety requirement to protect against ignition and heat spread. Areas like crawl spaces, attics, and rim joists often have exceptions, but a thermal barrier is required if these spaces are used for storage or if they have air ducts connected to the living space. 

After

Advanced Basement Systems applied a paint based coating on all exposed spray foam used to insulate the crawl space. The coating is specially designed to meet the code requirements for fire safety!

Call Advanced Basement Systems if you have exposed spray foam insulation in your home.

Before

The owners converted and existing garage into a workshop and wanted to use the space all year and requested the hot roof method, in which there is no attic and the roof sheathing is exposed and spray foamed. 

After

Spray foam insulation was used as an efficient way to provide insulation. The foam will add a vapour barrier and required R-value to the space. The Advanced Basement Systems team has been trained and are certified to work from heights and can get to the peak points in the building.

Before

The home owners are completing renovations to the upper level of the 2 story home. They have included proper attic insulation work to help make the older home more comfortable and energy efficient.

After

Spray foam was used on the lower portion of the attic decking to provide an air/vapour barrier between the attic and the living space. This barrier is a vital part of attic insulation as it will not allow the heated/cooled air below to escape into the attic above. Cellulose insulation can then be blown-in to complete the process.
