The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

spray foam insulation is made from two fast-reacting liquids – isocyanate and polyol resin – that combine and expand in seconds to create an air barrier. It’s a highly versatile material that can be applied to walls, ceilings and concrete slabs to help make homes more energy efficient, reduce drafts and increase comfort.

High-quality spray foam insulation helps prevent energy loss, which is a significant contributor to higher utility costs. It also helps reduce carbon emissions, contributing to environmental sustainability. Additionally, quality insulation improves resale value, making it an excellent investment in a home.

Comparing Spray Foam Insulation to Traditional Insulation Methods

There are two different types of spray foam insulation: open cell and closed cell. The choice depends on the needs of each individual project. Open-cell foam contains small bubbles (or cells) that aren’t completely encapsulated, which makes it softer and more flexible than closed-cell foam.

Closed-cell foam has more firmly pressed bubbles, which results in a stiffer and more rigid material. It is ideal for insulating wood-frame wall cavities and blocking air movement between the interior and exterior. It can be sprayed directly onto the wood-frame studs and joists, or blown into place. It can also be sprayed into existing, finished spaces, or around obstructions.

Spray foam insulation also helps block outside noise, which can make it difficult to relax in your home if you live near a busy street or have noisy neighbors. It’s also a health-promoting addition to your home because it contributes to an air barrier that blocks mold, allergens and VOCs.
