In Sacramento, CA, where hot summers and damp winters prevail, energy efficiency is crucial. Spray foam insulation offers a superior solution, providing year-round comfort and reducing HVAC costs. With CountBricks' AI-powered platform, contractors can generate precise material lists and quotes swiftly.
Spray foam is a two-component liquid that expands into a rigid, air-sealing barrier. Unlike fiberglass batts, spray foam adheres firmly to framing, rim joists, and tight attic corners, preventing air leaks.
• Open-cell: Lighter density, excellent sound dampening, and vapor permeability.
• Closed-cell: Higher R-value per inch, structural rigidity, and an integrated vapor barrier.
CountBricks specifies the right product based on building science, budget, and local Title 24 requirements.
Sacramento's climate demands insulation that can handle temperature extremes. Spray foam provides a continuous envelope, maintaining consistent indoor temperatures and reducing HVAC cycles.
