Frequently Asked Questions

Nextgen Spray Foam provides high-performance insulation solutions using the best insulation materials, technology, and procedures, making us the best in the industry.

Spray foam delivers superior thermal insulation by preventing the mixing of interior and exterior climates, maintaining a consistent internal environment regardless of outside conditions. It forms a solid barrier that air and moisture cannot penetrate, eliminating the need for venting. Additionally, Nextgen Spray Foam adheres to building codes and fire safety standards, making it the best option for modern construction.

The insulation materials used by Nextgen Spray Foam offer significant advantages over conventional insulations, including higher R-values per inch, excellent air and moisture barriers, and improved structural stability. Its application enhances structural integrity, soundproofing, and resistance to pests. Unlike fiber insulations, the spray foam remains effective under real-world conditions such as wind and moisture exposure. The performance of the insulation depends heavily on the expertise of the installer, proper material selection, and optimal installation conditions.

Q: How does Spray Foam insulation work?

A: Spray Foam insulation creates a complete barrier between the interior and exterior climates, preventing air, moisture, and temperature exchange, thus maintaining a consistent internal environment.

Q: Does Spray Foam insulation need venting?

A: No, an attic insulated with Spray Foam does not need venting as it forms a solid cellular plastic barrier that air and moisture cannot penetrate.

Q: How does Spray Foam insulation control moisture and condensation?

A: It prevents air movement within the building envelope, eliminating the condensation issues typically caused by warm, moist air meeting cold surfaces.

Q: Does Nextgen Spray Foam install insulation that contains harmful substances?

A: No, all the spray foam options that we install are safe resins similar to polyurethane varnishes, after the resting period of installation Spray Foam is safe to be around.

Q: What are the air infiltration and vapor barrier advantages of Spray Foam?

A: Spray Foam conforms to cavity shapes and seals around wall features, significantly reducing air infiltration and moisture penetration.

Q: How thick should Spray Foam insulation be?

A: It really depends on the type of spray foam, the local codes and the area you wish to insulate. Give us a call at 915.731.8545 so we can help you determine the best option for your project.

Q: What are the thermal advantages of Spray Foam insulation?

A: Spray foam insulation offers several thermal advantages:

1. Air Sealing: Spray foam creates an airtight seal, preventing air leaks that can lead to heat loss or gain. This improves overall energy efficiency by maintaining consistent indoor temperatures.

2. Moisture Barrier: It acts as a moisture barrier, reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth, which can degrade thermal performance over time.

3. Continuous Insulation: Spray foam expands filling all creaks and gaps and sticks directly to building materials reducing the potential of thermal bridging, where heat escapes from studs or beams. This enhances the overall performance of the building.

4. Temperature Regulation: It helps maintain a stable indoor temperature, making heating and cooling systems work more efficiently and reducing energy costs.

5. Durability: Spray foam is long-lasting and doesn’t settle or sag, maintaining its insulating properties over time unlike traditional insulation.

These benefits contribute to improved thermal performance, comfort, and energy savings in buildings.

Q: How are the best results achieved with Nextgen Spray Foam insulation?

A: The best results depend on the installer’s expertise, proper structural design, material selection, and optimal installation conditions, including thickness and temperature considerations.
