Atlanta Air & Vapor Insulation


Gone are the days of harmful, inferior traditional insulation products. The overall efficiency of the Atlanta area construction process has been increased by closed cell spray foam insulation that provides a seamless air and moisture barrier. If you forgo the exterior wall assembly that generally consists of concrete block masonry, ISO board, vapor barrier and brick masonry. There has been an overwhelming interest in the spray foam insulation process taking the place of typical installation. The spray foam application is so much cleaner, faster and overall easier to work with for everyone.

Green Earth Services of Atlanta services the following cities: Atlanta, Buckhead, Buford, Dunwoody, Gainesville, Hamilton Mill, Lawrenceville, Marietta, Cumming, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Smyrna, Suwanee, and Woodstock, Lilburn, Norcross, Powder Springs, Grayson, Sugar Shill, Snellville, Athens, Dacula, Kennesaw, Canton, Holly Springs, Acworth, Vinings and Huntsville, Alabama.

Air Barriers control the unintended movement of air into and out of a building enclosure in Atlanta. The building enclosure includes all walls, roofs and floors of the building. A spray foam application is significantly less labor-intensive than installing ISO board. Generally the installation involves affixing an ISO board to the brick masonry, then cutting around the brick ties, plus filling voids with mineral wool and sealing all seams and holes with tape. The spray foam insulation only involves spraying the foam.

The spray foam insulation essentially “wraps” the building's shell and ensures that it protects the building from air leakage and its adverse affects. These effects can range from energy, mold, occupant discomfort and more. They can also reduce the life span of a building.

A properly functioning air barrier system provides a barrier against both the air leakage and the diffusion of air caused by weather, wind, stack and mechanical equipment pressures.

Atlanta Spray Foam Insulated Air Barrier Systems are fully-adhered, providing a seamless, monolithic air barrier that conforms to irregular shapes, slopes and allows easy detailing around penetrations such as pipes, windows, doors and sheathing fasteners. Spray Foam Insulation air barriers contribute to improved building durability, energy efficiency, and to occupant comfort, health and safety.

Not only does Atlanta Spray Foam insulation provide the highest level of thermal insulation, it provides a fully sealed air and moisture barrier. The Spray Foam Insulation application process speeds construction and reduces labor costs substantially.


Alternate air barrier systems such as sheet goods require a great deal more labor for installation. Sheet goods do not possess the insulation characteristics and are often susceptible to tears, and air leaks due to their reliance on proper seeming, adhesion and interface with the building’s facade.

For the occupants to be comfortable, we condition the air in buildings. In summer or in cooling climates, we normally cool and dehumidify the air to a lower temperature and humidity that the exterior environment. In Atlanta area winter or heating climates, we normally heat and humidify the air to a higher temperature and humidity than the exterior.

When conditioned air (heated, cooled or filtered) leaks out of a building, and unconditioned air leaks into a building, additional energy is consumed to re-condition the remaining air. Air leakage can result in increased energy consumption costs of up to 30%-40% in heating climates and 10-15% in cooling costs.

Buildings which have a properly installed spray foam insulation air barrier system can operate with smaller HVAC systems since they do not have to compensate for a leaky building. In many cases, the reduction in mechanical equipment size and cost can offset the cost of the spray foam insulation air barrier system plus bring value and savings in the future.

Atlanta Spray Foam Insulation Air barrier systems also provide a barrier to pollutants and other contaminants entering the building or the building enclosure. Water vapor, suspended particulates, dust, insects, odors/smells, are all contaminants we want to keep out of the building. Water vapors that leak into the building (from the inside in heating climates and from the outside in cooling climates) can condensate and forms liquid water a key ingredient to corrosion and the potential development of mold.
