Why is BioBased Insulation® considered an environmentally friendly insulation?
BioBased Insulation® uses soy-based technology to replace a portion of the petroleum in its products. With this proprietary technology, BioBased Insulation® uses less petroleum than other spray foam insulations, reduces our country's dependence on foreign oil and utilizes soybean oil, a renewable resource grown by more than 600,000 American famers.
In addition, because you'll reduce your energy usage each month, you'll be using less electricity and/or natural gas which is another positive benefit for the environment.
How much money can BioBased Insulation® save me?
BioBased Insulation® can help save building and home owners up to 50%
on their heating and cooling costs when used in conjunction with other responsible building components.
BioBased Insulation® more than pays for itself by providing you savings in each and every month’s heating and cooling bill for the life of your home or office. As an example, using BioBased Insulation® may increase your monthly mortgage by $15, but decrease your monthly utility bills by $65, providing a net savings of $50 month in and month out.
How does BioBased Insulation® create a more comfortable home or office?
Have you ever noticed that one of the rooms in your home or office is warmer or cooler than the rest?
This is due to unconditioned air infiltrating your home. According to the Department of Energy, this
air infiltration accounts for up to 40% of the energy loss in a home or structure. By expanding multiple times its original size, BioBased Insulation® fills every crack and crevice creating an airtight seal of
protection around your home or office. This airtight seal will help you keep all of your room
temperatures at consistent and desirable levels.
Another benefit is a quieter atmosphere. Traffic on a busy street or other airborne
sounds can be greatly reduced. BioBased Insulation® not only gives you peace
of mind, but peace and quiet, too.
Is it true BioBased Insulation® can make my home or
office healthier?
When you are sitting in a room where the sun is shining, have you ever
noticed all of the particles floating in the air? This is the unhealthy air
people breathe every day. With proper ventilation and the continuous
air barrier BioBased Insulation® creates, the air quality inside your home or structure will greatly improve. People suffering from allergies will also benefit from the reduction of pollen and allergens that other insulations allow to seep inside.
BioBased Insulation® resists moisture, too, helping to prevent mold growth. So it not only keeps out harmful elements, it doesn’t introduce or harbor new ones either.
How long will BioBased Insulation® Last?
BioBased Insulation® will not settle or sag over time like conventional insulation. That means
you’ll enjoy all the benefits of energy-efficiency and healthier air for as long as you own your
home or structure.
Most people have heard about R-value—how well a product prevents against conductive
heat flow. However, what many do not know is R-value is only one of four elements to
consider when addressing heat transfer. Convection, radiation and air infiltration are
equally important and BioBased Insulation® performs at high levels with all
of these.
