I’ve touched on the key factors of spray foam insulation in past videos. Things like its superior energy efficiency, air sealing properties, and ability to reduce noise transmission.
But most people don’t know about its effectiveness outside when building a home in Southwest Florida. Outside spray foam can help lower temperatures in covered areas by creating a thermal barrier, preventing heat transfer from the sun. It also helps control humidity, especially when hurricane shutters are fully closed, reducing the risk of mold and mildew in enclosed spaces. Additionally, it provides added structural reinforcement, which can be beneficial during extreme weather events like hurricanes.
By incorporating spray foam insulation outside, you’re enhancing the durability, comfort, and energy efficiency of your home—key factors to consider in Southwest Florida’s challenging climate.
