Spray foam is a powerful insulation material that seals gaps, holes and air leaks – all of which make up 40% of energy loss in homes and buildings. It’s the perfect solution for new construction, attics and crawl spaces. But it can also be used to retrofit walls in older homes or metal buildings, making them more energy efficient and comfortable.
In the winter, spray foam stops heated indoor air from escaping through walls and windows, which helps to keep buildings warm without using as much energy. Similarly, in the summer, spray foam prevents hot outdoor air from entering buildings, which keeps them cool without using as much energy. As a result, property owners see reduced energy bills and lower energy consumption overall.
While spray foam insulation is made of polyurethane, it has become much more eco-friendly in recent years due to advancements in the blowing agents used to help the foam take shape. The new greener blowing agents are free of CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs – which are all considered greenhouse gases — and made from methyl methane, which is a naturally occurring substance.
As an added benefit, spray foam prevents moisture from leaking through walls and ceilings. This means it’s great for insulating basements, crawl spaces, and attics, which can be damp environments that lead to mold growth and require expensive remediation. The spray insulation seals off these areas from the outside air, preventing water damage and decreasing the need for dehumidifiers.
