The First Rule of Spray Foam Application

Since spray foam insulation is manufactured and installed on site, the product you receive will only be as good as the installer applying it. It is very important that your installer is not only certified and trained but has logged over 2000 hours in a developed apprenticeship program. All of our applicators have gone through an apprenticeship program developed by Ener-Spray System Inc. "The University of Ener-Spray" that starts our field staff as helpers to a certified sprayer. They are trained and educated about the spray foam process and are advanced through a three stage program as they meet skill set requirements and log over 2000 hours of practical field experience.

The Highest Standard in Quality Control

We are committed to providing the highest levels of quality and service, and believe that dedication to these principals will not only benefit our clients, but better the industry as a whole. Aside from having the best spray foam insulation applicators in the industry, we also have a traceable quality control program. Every job is inspected for quality of foam and workmanship and is then logged and archived as part of our lifetime warranty program.

Safety First, Safety First, Safety First!

All employees at Ener-Spray adhere to a strict safety protocol program and are WHIMIS trained. Site supervisors are trained in first aid and continually reinforce the importance of a safe work environment. Our trucks are equipped with first aid kits, eye wash stations, fire extinguishers and all applicable MSDS reports.

1/2 lb. Spray Foam

½ lb. foam is spray-applied as a liquid and expands within seconds to 120 times its liquid volume. The foam adheres directly to the substrate forming a seamless and permanent coverage over and around even the most difficult shapes. This seal provides superior energy efficiency and improved indoor air quality by eliminating air movement through walls. Once in place, ½ lb. foam maintains its performance for the life of the building. Unlike many conventional insulations time and temperature changes have no effect on R-value of spray foam insulation. ½ lb. foam is non toxic spray foam which has undergone extensive testing and meets building code requirements.

It is a green product developed with the environment in mind. Its unique formula contains no ozone-depleting chemicals, such as CFCs, HCFCs, fibres, formaldehyde and asbestos. No toxins are emitted during preparation and installation, and since it never decomposes or deteriorates there are no concerns about harmful fibres or gases escaping into the air in the future. ½ lb. foam reduces airborne noise and dust making it the healthy choice for those who suffer from allergies, asthma or chemical sensitivity.

2 lb. Spray Foam

2 lb. Ener-Spray foam acts as a vapour barrier, insulation and air barrier all in one. 2 lb. foam has a similar application process to that of ½ lb. foam it adheres directly to the substrate forming a seamless and permanent coverage over and around even the most difficult shapes. However, it only expands to 40 times its liquid volume it seals cracks and joints, and around protrusions such as brick ties it forms a continuous insulating air barrier that remains for the life of the building. With one of the highest R-values per inch of any insulating material available, 2 lb. Ener-Spray foam helps reduce energy costs while improving building comfort as well as indoor air quality and comfort. Dust and other exterior pollutants cannot enter the building because of the continuous air tight seal.

2 lb. foam is also a green product with a unique formula that contains no ozone-depleting chemicals, such as CFCs, HCFCs, or fibres, formaldehyde and asbestos. No toxins are emitted during preparation and installation and since it never decomposes or deteriorates, there are no concerns about harmful fibres or gases escaping into the air in the future. 2 lb. Ener-Spray foam also adds structural strength, and increases shear and racking strength by 300% to a building.

Cold Floors Over Garages and Places Where the House Hangs Past the Foundation

Many houses have rooms built out over the garage or floor spaces that cantilever past the foundation. These rooms tend to be very cold in the winter due to poor insulation, improper air-barrier and vapour seal. As a result of these problems these floor spaces can also be susceptible to moisture and mold. It is common practice for Ener-Spray to remove the old inefficient insulation in these spaces, dispose of it and replace it with ultra efficient Ener-Spray foam insulation. This provides a complete air seal, a higher R-value and a continuous vapour barrier. The Ener-Spray system has been proven for over 10 years to perform in these areas and has become the industry standard for quality home builders.

Polyurethane Foam Slab Lifting and Void Fill

The Difference

What is the difference between Mudjacking and Polyurethane Concrete Raising?
Both methods achieve the same results: Raise and Support sunken or unstable concrete slabs by drilling holes and pumping material under the slab.

Material

Settled concrete is commonly a result of poor soil conditions below a slab. As a result Polyurethane has become a popular repair methods because the material is so lightweight it will not further burden the already weak soil. Mudjacking uses a sand based material that is infused with portland cement. This slurry is hydraulically pumped under the slab to fill voids and raise the concrete. Mudjacking material weighs on average 100 lbs per cubic foot. Polyurethane Concrete Raising uses a foam material that is injected under the slab. When the components of this material are mixed a reaction causes the material to expand. This expanded foam fills any voids and raises concrete. This material will never lose density. After it is installed it is permanent and weighs about 2 lbs per cubic foot.

Holes

After concrete has been raise the only visable evidence that the slab has been repaired is the holes. For this rea- son Polyurethane has gained huge popularity because of the nearly invisible 5/8 holes that remain after the job is completed.
Mudjacking involves drilling a series of holes in a slab of concrete so the material can be pumped under the settled slab.
Polyurethane concrete raising drills a nearly invisible 5/8 hole and the process calls for considerably fewer holes than traditional mudjacking.

Cost

All concrete raising is typically half the cost of replacement. polyurethane is the choice above the rest because of the small hole size, lighter material weight, and fewer injection holes, and the quicker curing time.

Fibre and Attic Insulation

Why Should I Upgrade My Attic Insulation?

The department of energy estimates that heating and cooling loads consume between 50 and 70 percent of the energy used in an average home. A significant portion of that energy consumption results from the homes interior environment escaping through the ceiling where insulation is inadequate and poor vapour barriers fail to provide a proper air seal. Improving the ventilation in your attic and installing Ener-Spray's super seal insulation system could save you hundreds of dollars a year in energy savings.

What Do I Need to Know About Upgrading my Attic Insulation?

What Should I Look for When Upgrading my Attic Insulation?

Blown–in insulation is the most common choice because it can fill areas that are hard to reach using other insulation types. Blown –in insulation will settle, therefore it is important that the original depth of insulation allows for the settling. Before you have new insulation installed make sure to have your contractor look at your vapour barrier. Does it comply with current building codes and is it providing a good air barrier to stop air leakage? Does the contractor you're using offer a product that can repair your vapour barrier should it need repair? Proper ventilation is very important to your attic, it keeps your attic dry and allows heat to escape in the summer. Ensure that when you add more insulation to your attic that your ventilation is maintained and that it is improved if needed.
