The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation offers a lot of benefits that can improve your home in many ways. The most obvious is that it can save you on energy bills. Up to 40% of a home’s energy is lost due to air infiltration through gaps, cracks and holes. Spray foam insulation seals those nooks and crannies, creating an air barrier and preventing cold drafts from entering the home.
It also prevents condensation on walls, which can happen when two different temperatures meet. During the day, hot air moves into the home, and at night it cools and settles in the exterior wall spaces, creating mold and moisture damage. Foam insulation reduces these temperature differences, keeping the humidity levels in the building regulated, and helping to keep the structure dry and healthy.

The health benefits of spray foam insulation are also significant. The air barrier it creates keeps allergens like mold and dust from circulating the home, helping with asthma and allergies. It also helps to reduce the buildup of pollutants and toxins, such as VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that contribute to indoor air quality concerns.
Spray foam insulation is a type of polyurethane foam that comes in both open and closed-cell varieties. Closed-cell spray foam insulation is more dense than open-cell, and it resists the passage of both air and moisture better. It is often recommended for basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls, whereas open-cell can be installed in attics or anywhere that a vapor retarder is needed.
