Sealed Envelope Concept
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. Also, the deck of the roof is foam blown giving you more conditioned space in the attic, thus providing the home with higher energy efficiency than traditional 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.
