Foam Insulation 2.0

Don’t Cheap Out!

People need to have a better understanding of what they are getting for there money! here good places to spend money and then are not so good. A good example is Insulation, Tiles, Real Hardwood. A bad example is cheap insulation, cheap clay tiles or laminate flooring.

When your trying to raise the value of your home it is good to make it look nice. Don’t get me wrong on this please. People know that laminate is a substitute for the Real Deal Hardwood that’s why one house sells for more than the other even if it is next door.

Protecting your investments at the bank is an everyday thing! What about the home investment. If you ever had your house appraised you know exactly what I am talking about. You can have someone come in and he say’s your home is worth this much. Have the same guy come back after making some changes for the better of coarse and he say’s it is worth $30-40,000 more than last month.

There is great insulation that can save you big on energy bills and then there is poor insulation that will cost you money in the long run. A perfect example is comparing R-Values, the R-Values is the best why to save money in the long run.

The best way to increase R-Values is with spray Foam Insulation. The problem is people don’t know the difference between different types of spray foam. At Abba’s Service we use Tiger spray Foam why? Because it is the best spray foam on the market today! It is waterproof, Fire Rated, Mold and Mildew resistant and works as a solid air barrier.

Sure there are cheaper brands out their but they can not claim the same things that Tiger foam does! There is a reason for the name, The Tiger bits the cold back! It is more expensive but for good reason.1200 sq/ft will cost you around $4000-4500 but it will cut your energy bills at the very least in half. $1500 dollars in energy bills a year to $750 dollars. Insulation is not the place to go cheap by any means. The extra money could be used for the finer things in life like a vacation every year or recouping the funds you spent for all those renovations!

People always ask why should I put a sub floor in my basement. I tell them all the time it is up to them. I explain that if they ever had a flood they would probably save money because the materials are all of the ground. This is another place that customers try and cheap out on all the time, and it seams they end up costing themselves money! In Rigdeway Ontario There has been many cases of people that had renovations done and payed big bucks! When the power went off for 2 weeks back a couple of years ago it cost them big when the sump pump would not work. $60,000 $70,000 gone in a week! I hope that helps! Always spend the extra on a good sub floor period!

When people look at homes they notice the little things that are cheap like cheap tiles. Take a clay tile and compare it to even a cheap marble or granite tile. There is a big difference! Marble say’s expensive, granite the same and what about slate. A good natural stone will increase your purchase price of the material and installation at least 10 times that amount.

OK hardwood or laminate everybody knows the difference and laminate definitely say’s cheap. Could not afford the good stuff, I wonder where else I will have to make improvements. I don’t need to explain this you already know!  visit our web site at http://abbassevice.ca

UGH THIS IS RLY FRUSTRATING ME PLZ HELP????!!!?

so for physics class weh have to make a roller coaster. it has to actually work when u put a marble thru it. mine is a meter by a meter by a meter, amde out of wooden dowls holdin up the track. the track is made out of Foam Pipe Insulation, it’s greay. maybe and inch in diameter cut in half. it mostly works, but it’s really unstable and a lot of the time random problems keep popping up, like the marble suddenly falls off or the loop won’t work. it’s due in 4 DAYS and i have run out of ideas to make it work. this is a HUGE part of my grade pleas and i deas owuld be great!!!!

Make sure there is support from the sides and bottom. Don’t make these long extended curves when it’s only supported at both ends. Finding a good initial height for speed will tell you how to make your curves and different obstacles. Just keep experimenting little by little to not mess the whole thing up.

Good luck.

is there anything that will safely dissolve the insulation foam around hot tub pipes so that i can get to a le?

is there anything that will safely dissolve the insulation foam around hot tub pipes (without hurting the pipes: i have copper and pvc) so that i can get to and fix a leak easier?

Your best bet is mechanical removal down to the pipes (carve it off). If you need to take more to clean right down to the pipes, you’re talking solvent and need REALLY GOOD VENTILATION. I can’t emphasize that enough; not so much because of the health issues as much as the flammability factor. Get the cheapest bottle of nail polish remover you can find and see if it works to dissolve the foam. If it works and you need more than a little, get a pint of acetone (the active solvent in nail polish remover) at a hardware store. VENTILATE!!! It’s nasty flammable stuff but a really, really good solvent. Only use as much as you need. I don’t know how it affects PVC. You might want to check it out on a scrap piece if you can find one. But it evaporates so fast in a fan draft that I don’t think eating through a PVC pipe will be a problem.
