Spray Polyurethane Foam
High Performance Insulation System
What is Polyurethane Foam Insulation?
- A two-component, spray foam insulation system that expands to fill and seal cracks, crevices, and voids.
- Two types - Duraseal Closed-Cell and Durafill Open-Cell
- Duraseal is thicker and seals out air, moisture, and contaminants for the building envelope.
- Controls and minimizes 6 mechanisms of heat transfer, including conduction, radiation, and convection.
Duraseal benefits:
- Offers a High Insulation R-value
- Reduces the Requirements for Mold Growth
- Provides a Seamless Air Barrier
- Restricts Moisture Transmission
- Adds Structural Strength
- Minimizes Sound Transmission
- Does Not Shrink or Settle
Durafill Open-Cell Benefits:
- Complete Cavity Fill
- Faster Applications
- Better Sound/noise Attenuation(Reduction)
- Air Barrier

| Duraseal™ Closed-Cell Spray Foam Insulation |
MAXIMIZE YOUR INVESTMENT. Investing in DurasealT closed-cell foam insulation is an important choice in building a sustainable home. Closed-cell spray foam insulation is one of the most advanced insulating materials available to the construction industry. The foam insulation is spray-applied and forms an air seal that prevents leaks, minimizes noise, and improves building performance. Duraseal is the perfect thermal and moisture management system for your new home.
WHY BE CONCERNED ABOUT MOISTURE?
Mold is an increasing concern with its evident health risks in the Gulf Coast Region and other areas with high levels of rain, flooding and/or humidity. Most homebuyers assume that mold does not grow on conventional insulation material; this is a fairly true statement. However, it grows on the organic debris that becomes trapped in these products. There are four critical requirements for mold growth - available mold spores, available mold food, appropriate temperatures and "considerable" moisture. Of the four basic requirements for mold growth, moisture availability is by far the easiest mold growth requirement to control. |

MOISTURE MANAGEMENT
Duraseal insulation is an important component in a moisture management system. Air infiltration and exfiltration, within a structure, contributes to approximately 99% of moisture migration. Reducing air movement deters moisture accumulation so that mold growth is less likely to occur. Combined with a proper mechanical ventilation system, closed-cell spray foam insulation helps keep the indoor humidity at a level for which the growth of mildew and allergens can be minimized. Reducing moisture and controlling humidity can also add years to the life expectancy of a home.

Consider these facts:
- 90% of all building failures in the U.S. are related to moisture.
- Air leaks can account for 99% of moisture due to air movement, which can result in mold growth and unfavorable health effects.
- Moisture can lead to accelerated deterioration of building materials. This is certainly evident in crawl space houses.

IMPROVED ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Duraseal closed-cell spray foam insulation provides exceptional R-value of 6.9 per inch, which results in heating and cooling cost savings. Drafts are virtually eliminated so a more uniform indoor temperature is maintained. Duraseal doesn't settle or sag over time so you'll enjoy these savings for the life of your home.
Recommended Applications
- Crawl spaces (sealed crawl space system) and attics
- Floors
- Ceilings
- Piping
- interior walls
- Duct work
- Foundations
Sealed Crawl Space System
PureAir Systems provides the best method for treating crawl spaces. First, all of the structural wood is prepared and treated with lifetime guaranteed Structure Guard mold block. Second, Duraseal insulation foam is applied in the appropriate thickness to seal and insulate the entire subfloor with complete moisture barrier. This totally separates the home from the crawl space, far better than any closed crawl space system.
Only a Certified Mold Remediation contractor should apply Duraseal Closed Cell foam in crawl space environments due to the high probably of mold in structural wood. |

Take an active role in the construction of your home by requesting Duraseal closed-cell spray foam to insulate your most valuable asset. Contact a PureAir Homes Representative today to learn how to request Duraseal through your builder. Duraseal could be the best construction improvement you ever make.
Safety:
|
Applied Durafoam products emit zero pollutants.
Fiberglass Insulation History:
-
1938 Owens-Corning developes a process to manufacture microscopic glass fibers to form fiberglass insulation.
-
1955 Some medical evidence indicates that glass fibers can be harmfull to human lungs.
-
1988 Cancer warning labels printed on fiberglass products.
-
1991 OSHA mandates cancer warning labels on products containing fiberglass that may become airborne, including fiberglass insulation.
- 1993 National Toxicology Program unanimously agrees that fiberglass is "reasonably anticipated to cause cancer in humans."
- Fiberglass insulation does not seal anything and is not a good insulation.
Conclusion: USE A MATERIAL THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED A PUBLIC HEALTH HAZARD!!! |
|
Durafoam seals out air and moisture, is a superior insulation and energy saver, is healthier and safer, has better R-Values as well as being environmentally friendly. Duraseal also adds greatly to the structural strength of any building. |
