Spray Foam Insulation in Arden, NC

Spray Foam Insulation in Arden brings us into some of the most varied housing south of Asheville. The community was founded in 1872 by author Charles Willing Beale and named for the Forest of Arden in Shakespeare's As You Like It. It still holds homes from several eras, from the Oak Park Historic District established in 1927 to subdivisions built in the last few decades.

Oak Park homes

Building in Oak Park was interrupted by the 1929 crash, and more than 15 homes of that period still stand. Houses from the 1920s typically have no wall insulation, open framing between floors and vented crawl spaces. For them, we seal the crawl space and rim joist with closed-cell foam, seal the attic floor and blow in loose fill, and insulate walls with dense-pack where the owner wants it.

Newer homes

Newer Arden homes have their own trouble spots: bonus rooms, rooms over garages, vaulted ceilings and attic ductwork. When ducts run through a hot attic, moving insulation to the roofline with foam can bring the ducts inside the conditioned space.

Elevation and climate

Arden sits at about 2,218 feet, in Buncombe County's Climate Zone 4A. Winters are cool and summers humid, which is why both air sealing and moisture control matter here.

Attic ducts and summer heat

Many Arden homes built in recent decades run ductwork through a vented attic. In July that attic can get much hotter than the outdoors, and every leak in the ducts pulls hot air into the system. Sealing the ducts and insulating the attic floor well helps. Moving insulation to the roofline with spray foam goes further by bringing the whole attic inside the conditioned space. We price both so you can compare.
