Spray foam insulation is a more cost-effective alternative to fiberglass or cellulose. It can also last up to 80 years. It has a high R-value per inch, meaning it’s an effective insulator. It helps keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. It also restricts outside noise. It’s easy to apply, making it more efficient than traditional batt insulation. It can even be used in areas that would be difficult or impossible to reach with conventional methods.

The two chemical components that create spray foam insulation are heated and pressurized before being delivered at the tip of a spray gun. The chemicals undergo an exothermic reaction and generate both the product (spray foam) and byproducts (heat). The byproducts are blown away during installation and the spray foam cures. The spray foam can be applied to almost any surface, including metal and wood.

If not properly installed, spray foam insulation can suffer from structural issues and moisture entrapment. Moisture entrapment is when humidity becomes trapped in the walls, roof and sheathing of your house and rises to a point where it becomes moist enough to support mold growth. This problem can be expensive to remediate.

It’s important to use professional technicians when installing spray foam insulation. During the spraying and curing process, the chemicals off-gas significant amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It’s also recommended that home occupants vacate the home during the installation process to avoid exposure to these harmful off-gasses.
