There once was a time when spray foam was the go-to product of choice for loft insulations.
The reason for this was simple:
It was seen as a quick, efficient, and low-cost way to strengthen the structure of a property.
There was just one problem:
It also proved to be both dangerous and damaging to the very properties it was designed to protect.
Once applied, it can begin to degrade and destroy the timber in your home, causing unseen damage that is hidden by the foam itself.
As if that wasn’t enough, there’s also the worrying fact that spray foam can be highly flammable.
Combine that with mounting evidence of toxic chemicals in some older forms of loft insulation, and what you’re left with is a product that’s potentially harmful to not only your home but also the health of you and your loved ones.
For some people, that’s more than enough to make spray foam removal in Scotland a worthwhile investment.
Most Mortgage Lenders Won’t Approve Applications for Homes With Spray Foam in the Loft
Let’s face it:
Selling a home in today’s housing market can be a challenging headache as it is. Try to sell your home with spray foam insulation in the loft, and you may well find it impossible.
As increasing evidence has come to light about the damaging effects of certain foam insulations, lenders have become increasingly reluctant to give the go-ahead for mortgages with spray foam in the loft.
In other words, no matter how much time, money and effort you’ve put into getting your property ready for market, and no matter how many potential buyers may have been willing to put in an offer, they’re unlikely to get the funding for as long as your loft stays the way it is.
What’s the solution:
Simple:
