Spray foam is a combination of resins that expand when it is activated, filling gaps and sealing nooks and crannies. This allows it to conform to the unique design of your home and ensure that all areas are insulated well, even hard-to-reach spaces. It can also be applied to more intricate or complicated structures, such as domed ceilings.

Energy Savings

Among the many benefits of spray foam insulation, it is highly effective at reducing energy usage in homes and buildings. Since the product is able to seal so many of the gaps and crevices that typically allow air to escape, heating and cooling systems have to work less often, saving on energy costs right away.

Moisture Entrapment

Another problem that can be created by improperly installed spray foam insulation is the formation of moisture and mold in attics and basements. The reason is that the products’ incredible sealing abilities can trap pollutants and other allergens in the building envelope, causing mold to develop over time. Mold development can have significant health implications, so addressing it promptly is essential.

Environmental Toxicity

There are a variety of environmental concerns surrounding spray foam insulation, particularly the hydrofluorocarbons used as blowing agents. These chemicals have a global warming potential (GWP) of 3,400 times that of carbon dioxide, so it is important to choose eco-friendly brands. Fortunately, more advanced technologies have made these compounds significantly less environmentally toxic in recent years.
