Spray Foam
Air naturally moves in and out of a home through doors, windows and every hole, crack, and crevice – with roughly 33% of air infiltrating through walls, ceilings, and floors. Adding an advanced insulation system is necessary to achieve optimal building performance.
Synthesia is that advanced insulation system.
Spray foam insulation can maximise a homeowner’s investment by sealing the building envelope to stop conditioned indoor air from escaping and prevent unconditioned air from entering a home. Air exchange in and out of a home is a leading cause of escalated energy bills as the mechanical systems that heat and cool buildings are continuously operating. Reducing extreme temperature variations saves on the overuse of mechanical systems and leads to lower energy bills.
What are the benefits of spray foam?
Installing spray foam insulation will help save you and your household money every year. The spray foam will seal air within the property and help prevent heat loss; this will make it cheaper to warm your home in the winter and help you save money every year. If you wish to sell your home in the future, buyers will find buying your property with spray foam a more attractive option. The savings begin immediately upon installation.
Once our spray foam insulation is installed, you will find that your home is more comfortable than ever before. Drafts will be a thing of the past as the seal created by the spray foam installation will help reduce cold and hot spots within the home as gaps are closed, contributing to an even temperature within your property. If your home is near a noisy area, the spray foam seal will even help reduce the volume of any external noise.
Synthesia’s airtight spray foam insulation has many protective benefits for the home. It restricts air movement, which stops moisture accumulation so mould growth is less likely to occur. Once the spray foam has solidified, pests of all kinds will also find it difficult to enter your home through the now sealed areas.
Many illnesses like asthma and allergies are often caused by airborne pollutants such as dust, dirt, carbon monoxide and many more. By choosing spray foam insulation, your home will be sealed from a wide range of pollutants in the air. Many customers notice a positive difference in their health after installation..
Current guidelines recommend up to 10 inches of insulation in your loft. This is usually added to the ground, rather than the roofline, which results in the loss of your storage area, due to not being able to refit floor boards after installation. By implementing spray foam insulation to the roofline, you regain the lost 10 inches, thus increasing storage, height and practicality. Reclaim your loft space!
Spray foam insulation can help support the overall structure of your property. This is dependent on the application and thickness of the spray foam on installation.

Where does my home lose energy?
Superior energy efficiency mostly depends on creating a better air seal. Wall insulation is a significant issue in home energy savings, but there are other factors that will lower home energy efficiency.
Doors and Windows - Moisture Control
Water and moisture in the building envelope is the single, greatest threat to building durability in residential construction. In addition to causing building-durability issues, moisture can create ideal conditions for mould growth, which can dramatically impact occupant health.
Ceilings, Outer Walls Floors and Crawlspaces - Air Leakage
Unsealed walls, ceilings and floors are responsible for about a third of the air leakage in a home. This results in as much as 40% of energy being lost in order to address this air infiltration. Therefore, the most effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort in your home is to seal it with foam.
