The successful campaign of Demilec from turning recycling plastic bottles into the spray foam insulation that began from 2004 has made it earn additional points in many green certification programs that include the United States Green Building Council’s LEED program for its recycled material content, as well as its use of renewable resources.

Arlington, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/16/2014 -- Decisions to 'go green' with spray foam insulation in aims to save energy cost and lower utility bills have led some homeowners to think twice now that several cases involving incorrect installation of this infamous insulation product have generated problems which can be pricey and difficult to mend.

The failure of some companies to address the installation problems and lack of protocols in removing improperly fitted spray foam insulation has led to a string of lawsuits. In addition it had forced many homeowners to desert their homes for the reason that the incorrect fitting of spray foam insulation have resulted to strong, unpleasant fishy smell that may cause a relative effect in difficulty in breathing and other health problems such as asthma, sensitization, lung damage, and other respiratory illnesses.

"We thought we were doing something to improve our home and instead basically destroyed my home" as quoted by one homeowner to Marketplace co-host Tom Harrington as he describes how incorrect installations of spray foams have ruined their home and now they can't live in it.

The way some companies have marketed these products as the awareness of many consumers on how spray foam could reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50% increase, have probably sent a wrong message of having spray foams as a green choice for these are natural and non-toxic; when the truth is, only a very small of percentage of soy were included in the spray foams.

On the other hand, the leading provider of premium polyurethane foam systems, Demilec USA, strongly guarantees that their spray foam is safe and won't pose any unhealthy threats to people and the environment. The Demilec spray foam insulation is entirely made from plastic bottles – mostly of sodas and water bottles – to make it into its Heatlok family of closed-cell insulation products that also uses oil from soybeans.

The successful campaign of Demilec from turning recycling plastic bottles into the spray foam insulation that began from 2004 has made it earn additional points in many green certification programs that include the United States Green Building Council's LEED program for its recycled material content, as well as its use of renewable resources. Moreover, Demilec USA acts upon the 2014 Green Building Standards from ASHRAE, the US Green Building Council and the Illuminating Engineering Society in which in one of its 67 addenda, as provisioned under the Building Impacts on the Atmosphere, Materials and Resources; Demilec USA 'stores and collects recyclable' from landfills and helped offset the use of new petroleum in its products.

Truly, getting hooked with the promises of many companies that offers 'natural' and 'non-toxic' spray foam insulation to achieve the great convenience in reducing and heating cost by 50% could be mind-wrecking when it turns out to be the opposite of what is expected. That is why it is highly advised to carefully choose the installer of spray foam insulation, ask what their products are made of and review agreements that contractors are offering in case something went wrong with the installation.
