What Is Spray Foam Insulation?

Spray foam products contain a high-performance material (most commonly polyurethane) engineered to form a tight seal that prevents air leakage and reduces heat transfer. This versatile material also acts as a moisture barrier and dampens noise transmission. Spray foam is available in open-cell and closed-cell varieties, each with its advantages. Your local spray foam insulation installers will help you choose the right type for your home and application.

Closed-cell foam is denser and provides higher R-values, making it perfect for exterior walls and roofs where moisture and air infiltration are concerns.

Open-cell foam is softer and more flexible, making it ideal for soundproofing and insulating interior walls.

Spray Foam Insulation for Total Home Protection

Sprayable insulation is ideal for attics, walls, basements, and floors. It is particularly effective in areas prone to drafts or where traditional insulation materials wouldn’t completely fill gaps or stop air leaks.

Why Choose Spray Foam Insulation?

Unmatched Air Sealing: Spray foam insulation expands to fill small gaps. This superior air sealing mitigates drafts, leaks, and preventable energy loss.

Moisture and Mold Resistance: Closed-cell spray foam acts as a moisture barrier, protecting your home from water damage and reducing the risk of mold growth. This is especially beneficial in humid climates or areas prone to water leaks and flooding.

Energy Efficiency: With its high R-value, spray foam insulation provides superior thermal resistance, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer without wasting energy.

Structural Integrity: Closed-cell spray foam adds rigidity to walls and roofs, enhancing structural integrity. This can be particularly valuable in areas with severe weather.

Better Indoor Air Quality: By sealing out dust, pollen, and other outdoor pollutants, spray foam insulation contributes to healthier indoor air quality, which benefits those with allergies or respiratory concerns.

Spray Foam Insulation FAQs

How much does spray foam insulation cost?

Spray foam insulation costs vary depending on the type of spray foam insulation, R-value, the size and difficulty of the area being insulated, the thickness of the application, and other factors. You may qualify for tax credits and rebates to lower the total project cost, and we will always provide a detailed estimate before starting work.

Is spray foam insulation safe after it cures?

Once polyurethane spray foam cures (or dries), it’s considered safe. Chemical exposure peaks during installation when the two primary components, isocyanates and polyols, mix. Our technicians use protective gear to stay safe, and we ventilate your home to prevent exposure during the reactive stage.

Is spray foam insulation flammable?

Like many building materials, spray foams can ignite when exposed to ignition sources. Most foams include fire retardant additives to reduce flammability. Building codes typically require these additives or fire-resistant barriers and coatings.

Is spray foam insulation worth it?

Spray foam offers a return on investment within three to seven years, on average, although factors like climate and home size significantly impact returns. Spray foam can substantially lower heating and cooling costs, especially in extremely hot or cold regions.
