Insulation Contractors, Foam Engineers, were chosen to insulate a home renovation in Clayton, Missouri. Clayton is a suburb of Saint Louis and boasts a large business district. There are many historic, beautiful neighborhoods. This home was near the DeMun neighborhood. Foam Engineers provides service to the Greater St. Louis area and surrounding communities.
This home in Clayton is currently undergoing renovations. Foam Engineers was contracted to insulate it.
The two story home needed exterior wall repair in certain areas. The drywall was removed and the walls were re-framed. On the main floor, the exterior walls in the bathroom, kitchen, and underneath the staircase were insulated with closed cell spray foam. The exterior wall of the second story bathroom was coated in closed cell spray foam as well. The underside of the ceilings on the second level was sprayed with 4″ of open cell spray foam. Not only will the open cell foam be highly insulating, but it will also help with sound attenuation. This means it will help absorb and diffuse noise, making the home quieter.
Spray foam is perfect for homes both new and old. In this case, the contractor took advantage of the wall repair and decided to choose insulation that would provide optimum efficiency for years to come.
