GREAT STUFF™ PRO Benefits

Why Use GREAT STUFF™ PRO?

• Heating and cooling costs have increased 400 percent in the last decade. As energy costs soar, homeowners are looking for reliable information and viable solutions to lower energy costs.
• GREAT STUFF PRO offers a cost-effective solution that fills the gaps that fiberglass insulation does not. GREAT STUFF PRO completely "air tightens" the entire house by sealing and insulating all of the cracks and crevices that allow air to flow into and out of the house. It keeps the home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
• Air infiltration and exfiltration waste up to 40 to 50 percent of the energy used in most homes. They are the leading cause of high energy bills. This is even true in homes that are well insulated with fiberglass, but not air-sealed.
• 17 percent of home energy loss is due to insufficient insulation around windows and doors.
• The combined open space created by gaps, cracks and holes in the average home totals as much as a 4-foot-by-4-foot window left wide open.
• Fiberglass alone is insufficient to provide maximum insulation value. Gaps, cracks and holes must be air-sealed with expanding foam sealant to maximize home comfort.
• Research shows that more than 80 percent of consumers would pay $2,000 - $3,000 for $250 in energy savings per year.
• The number one upgrade among new homebuyers is energy-efficiency enhancements.
• GREAT STUFF PRO can help you help your customers by allowing you to increase the value of your products and services without significant up-front cost to you.

Benefits of GREAT STUFF™ PRO Foam Sealants

• GREAT STUFF PRO foam sealants expand to take the shape of cracks and voids, forming a permanent and airtight barrier to stop drafts.
• Foam sealant cuts down noise pollution and is an ideal product for noise abatement (reduces noise transference from room to room and minimizes noisy pipes and ductwork).
• Minimizes condensation and related structural damage like ice dam, dry rot and foundation damage.
• Minimizes hidden mold and mildew that the homeowner can't see and reduces related allergy problems also caused by condensation/high humidity in the house.
• Fiberglass, when chinked or compressed, loses its insulation value. Caulks tend to shrink and crack over time. Foam is a more effective air-sealant than either fiberglass or caulk. Foam has a higher insulation R-value than fiberglass and caulking products.
• Air-sealing reduces the pathways where insects can enter the house.
• GREAT STUFF PRO is more cost effective when filling larger openings than caulk. Besides that, application is quicker than caulking. One 24 oz. can GREAT STUFF PRO is equivalent to 26 quart tubes of caulk.
• Due to its strong adhesion qualities to many building substrates, GREAT STUFF PRO actually makes installation stronger.
• The GREAT STUFF brand has already been embraced by DIY consumers and is the best selling foam sealant in the world. By using GREAT STUFF, your products and services will get an additional boost in marketing credibility.
• Whether you are a homebuilder, insulation contractor or remodeler, GREAT STUFF PRO increases the value of your services or projects without significant up-front cost to you. It allows you to differentiate your company's products and services against your competitors by selling the energy savings benefits of foam sealant to your customers.
