Quality Insulation seals air leakage and gaps in a home’s thermal envelope, lowering energy bills, making the space more comfortable and reducing moisture intrusion. It also improves the health of a house’s occupants by blocking contaminants that cause allergies and respiratory illnesses.

There are two types of spray foam insulation: open and closed cell. Both create an effective barrier against air movement and sound, but open cell foam uses smaller pockets that aren’t completely closed, which makes it less rigid than closed cell. Open-cell spray foams use water or carbon dioxide as the propelling agent, and are more environmentally friendly than their closed-cell counterparts.

The Benefits of Using Spray Foam Insulation for Your Home

When homeowners choose to have spray foam installed in their homes, they should select a contractor that uses low GWP blowing agents. These lower the impact of greenhouse gas emissions, but are more expensive than traditional fiberglass insulation.

Home builders should also pay attention to the framing details for their projects. Those that are not properly constructed can result in poor energy performance, and need to be corrected before the project goes out for inspection by a HERS rater.

Insulation is a long-term investment that saves homeowners money on heating and cooling, strengthens their homes, and protects against mold and mildew. It also reduces the demand for fossil fuel-based heating and cooling, helping to minimize climate change. In addition, proper insulation helps reduce noise, creating a more peaceful living environment.
