Foam for the attic – solid insulation for years to come

Thanks to the ease and speed of application, outstanding thermal insulation performance and convenient adjustment to bevels or recesses, attic foam enjoys growing interest among people building or finishing houses. When an investor is looking for technology that works best for insulating zones under the roof, walls and other places where thermal bridges form, they should pay attention to our product.

Attic foam, especially the one offered by Silverfoam, is perfect for almost all construction projects. The benefits of its application are experienced for a long time as the material provides solid coverage and excellent heat retention. Therefore, it contributes to the elimination of thermal bridges and, at the same time, reduces heating costs.

Our foam is ideal for many applications – not just attic insulation. The ceilings, walls, foundations and floors insulated with it will gain new quality. The material is safe and environmentally friendly, has an antibacterial effect and does not promote the formation of mould or the accumulation of fungi, dust or dust mites.

Concrete benefits of choosing PUR foam for insulation

If you are still considering choosing PUR foam as attic insulation, our arguments should convince you to do so – especially when combined with the opinions of other customers who have already opted for this solution and can confirm the thermal comfort or lower energy consumption achieved. What are the specific benefits of having such insulation?

1. Thermal performance – PUR foam has one of the highest thermal insulation coefficients among the insulation materials available. This means that it effectively stops the flow of heat, helping to maintain a stable temperature inside the building regardless of external conditions.
2. Excellent adhesion – PUR foam is applied by spraying, allowing it to adhere to almost any surface. As a result, it provides excellent insulation in hard-to-reach areas such as corners, nooks and crevices where traditional insulation materials may be insufficient.
3. Water resistance – PUR foam is water resistant, which means it does not absorb moisture. This provides additional protection against mould and moisture damage.
4. Long-lasting – PUR foam is durable and resistant to mechanical damage. It does not shrink, warp or lose its insulating properties over time, ensuring long-lasting insulation performance.
5. Reducing air infiltration – polyurethane foam forms an airtight barrier that reduces air infiltration through walls, ceilings and floors. This helps reduce energy losses associated with uncontrolled air exchange.
6. Environmental protection – by reducing heat loss, PUR foam helps reduce emissions of harmful gases. This is because energy consumption for building heating and cooling is reduced.
7. Noise reduction – PUR foam also provides a certain level of sound insulation, which helps reduce noise penetration from outside.

Polyurethane foam is a choice that will bring many benefits in terms of energy savings, durability and comfort. Although the initial cost may be higher than traditional insulation materials, the long-term savings and performance benefits can far outweigh the expense.

What is the cost of PUR foam insulation?

Surely, you are wondering what costs are associated with PUR foam insulation. Understandably, you want to know what expense to prepare for. Of course, it is difficult to speak of a single way of pricing this type of work that is valid everywhere. However, we can assure you that today, with the popularisation and greater availability of the method, it is cheaper than just a few years ago. Ultimately, it all depends on the surface to be insulated, the thickness of the insulation and the material you choose for it.

If you choose to work with SilverFoam, you can expect customised measurements along with a quote, which you will learn before the work begins. We are honest and have a transparent price list and conditions so that nothing will surprise you. The standard rate is about 60-80 PLN per square metre of insulation. This includes both labour and material costs. However, it is somewhat approximate; thus, we cannot guarantee that it will not differ. Contact us for details.

When is PUR foam insulation most worthwhile?

Although there are virtually no limitations for PUR foam insulation, there are some situations in which its application is the most recommended. This is especially true when:

• the place is difficult to reach – PUR foam is applied using special equipment that allows thorough coverage of even those corners and crevices that are the most difficult to reach. That is why it is ideal for insulating old buildings where traditional insulation methods may not work;
• you need effective thermal insulation – PUR foam is one of the best thermal insulation solutions available on the market. Its U-value, which is a measure of heat transmittance, is one of the lowest on the market, which means that it effectively retains heat within the building;
• you need a quick solution – the PUR foam application process is relatively quick. Once applied to the surface, the foam expands and hardens quickly, allowing construction works to be continued without delay;
• you want to minimise wasted space – PUR foam has excellent insulating properties, which means you don’t have to sacrifice a lot of space for an insulation layer. This makes it perfect for small spaces such as attics.

Spray insulation technology is gaining more and more supporters among both contractors and customers. Those interested in PUR foam insulation are welcome to contact us. We will be happy to answer all your questions and explain what the whole insulation process is about. We will suggest the best solutions and conduct a measurement followed by a quote. We warmly encourage you to cooperate with SilverFoam.

Which attic foam should I choose?

We encourage you to choose open-cell and closed-cell foam with silver ions. Ag40 is a highly effective material that is applied using a spray method. This technology is second to none for reaching hard-to-reach places located in crevices, recesses and other nooks and crannies – and there is no shortage of those in the attic. Failure to insulate these areas well leads to thermal bridges, resulting in subsequent problems with maintaining the temperature and heating the building space.
