These
homes are called Sealed Envelope Homes or Sprayed Foam Insulation Homes because they have sprayed foam
insulation between studs on outside walls to seal in cracks that
otherwise may occur using batting, and the deck of roof is foam blown
giving you more room in attic that is conditioned space, thus,
providing the home with higher energy efficiency than batt
insulation. These homes are treated the same as ICF homes, but are
less expensive. Even though they do not have all the benefits that an
ICF home does, the insulation factor greatly reduces your air
conditioning and heating energy consumption, and there is a more
overall comfort throughout the house than a batt insulation home.
These
homes are energy star rated, and are only a step down from the ICF
rated homes. Call us to discuss the benefits of either ICF homes or
Sealed Envelope Homes.
