[MassHistPres] Historic House Insulation Contractors - CentralMassachusetts

[James Hadley]

Historic House Insulation Contractors - Central MassachusettsFoam comes in 2 types - open and closed cell. The common foam for residential stud construction is open cell, frequently icynene but we see more and more open cell foam with a soy component these days. It is not usually injected into wall cavities but it can be by experienced installers. If injected the interior finish material must be braced with another material, otherwise the foam can push it away from the wood studs. It should only be done by an installer who has done it before, and you'll want to check with a previous customer or 2.

  I was wondering if anyone out there could recommend a contractor who has experience insulating historic houses in central Massachusetts. We are looking for someone who has experience installing injection foam insulation into the wall cavity through either the interior or exterior of the house. Has anyone had any experiences with this type of insulation (good or bad)?

  Thanks in advance,
