Spray Foam Energy Solutions

Spray Foam Energy Solutions R-38 installed Sealection 500™ Spray Foam Insulation directly onto the underside of the roof deck and gable ends creating an unvented attic assembly on the project. Additionally, we installed spray foam insulation on the band joist and several other difficult to insulate areas to eliminate any thermal bypass issues.

Sealection 500™ Spray Foam expands to fill all the voids, cracks and spaces creating a continuous air-seal and thermal barrier, significantly reducing Heating & Cooling energy costs.

Unvented attic designs remove the extreme heat load found in vented attics on the heating and cooling duct distribution system and keep any duct leakage inside the building envelope.

Demilec (USA) LLC donated raw materials for the SMUD project and Spray Foam Energy Solutions donated both labor and materials to the project.
