Spray foam insulation is a liquid that expands when applied to surfaces, filling gaps and crevices to create an air-seal and thermal barrier. It can be sprayed into new construction or retrofitted into attics, basement rim joists, and knee walls as well as outbuildings like sheds and pole barns. It is available in open- or closed-cell varieties and in different densities, so it can be tailored to specific needs and climates.
One of the main reasons homeowners choose spray foam over fiberglass insulation is its superior energy efficiency. Its air seal prevents heat loss and keeps indoor spaces comfortable all year round. This prevents your HVAC system from overworking and saving you money on utility bills.
It also reduces noise transmission and provides a quieter space. A spray foam insulator can be installed between the studs in walls to minimize sound transfer and block out unwanted outside noises.
Unlike traditional fiberglass, spray foam is durable and doesn’t bunch or crack over time. It is also more environmentally friendly than other types of insulation and doesn’t emit harmful chemicals. It also resists mold, mildew, and odors.
The process of installing spray foam is quick and painless. A crew comes to your home and removes any existing insulation before spraying the foam into a space. A blower door test measures the amount of air leakage in a building and is used to help calculate how much insulation is needed. The amount of spray foam insulation is quoted in board feet, which takes into account length, width, and depth (the three dimensions of a room). It is typically sprayed into an attic but can be sprayed into crawl spaces, basements, and rim joists.
