Therma Seal Resolves Mold Issues Throughout Palm Beach County, Florida This Summer.
Everyone knows moisture problems can lead to the presence of mold and mildew, destroying a homes physical integrity and overall health of a home. Mold and mildew begin to form where moisture is left to stagnate in a closed, warm environment. A common cause of moisture in South Florida typically occurs where HVAC ducts or registers sweat due to "hot attic syndrome."
Therma Seal's unvented attic system with Icynene spray foam provides both a solution and a prevention from mold and mildew.

Build Right.. Insulate Tight.
When is more not better, but worse?
In a vented attic where conventional
insulation commonly referred to as Batt or Blown-in Fiberglass the story is all
about R-Value. The higher the R value
the slower the transfer of those hot molecules to the cool side. R does not stop the transfer, merely slows
its transfer. The venting is designed to
allow the heat to escape, as beside their tendency to move form hot to cold,
heat rises. As this transfer occurs the
attic actually can reduce its heat load and stabilize for example at 130* on a
hot summer day. If someone decides to
add a lot more of this same insulation to an attic without proper care they
risk creating a hotter attic space with an inadequate ability to naturally
vent.
The new stabilized temperature rises and the risks of
sweating ducts increases and with moisture and heat we play with a mold or
mildew occurrence.
Application of spray foam is certainly more expensive
than conventional insulation. In some retrofit cases, a proper application is not achievable; Therma Seal(TM) has
within it scopes of expertise, other plausible solutions for preventing assembly
heat gain.
