When compared to other insulation materials, spray foam is far more versatile. Its unique composition allows it to fill in the smallest spaces, reducing air leaks and providing a powerful barrier that restricts the movement of heat and air.

This prevents the need to run your heating or cooling system as often, lowering energy bills and saving you money over time. It also makes it easier for your system to maintain a comfortable temperature and reduces the amount of harmful particulates that are circulated in your home, such as dust, dander, mold spores, and chemicals.

While other insulation materials are limited in their applications, such as cellulose or fiberglass, spray foam insulation is an ideal solution for new construction projects, attics, basements, crawl spaces, and rim joists. It is also an excellent solution for existing homes, as long as the areas you’d like to insulate are accessible – otherwise accessing and changing your insulation would require demolition.

Additionally, spray foam’s blowing agent, which is comprised of HFCs, has a lower global warming potential than carbon dioxide on a per-kilo basis. This fact, combined with the insulation’s ability to limit air and moisture leakage, significantly reduces a building’s environmental impact. With proper installation, homeowners can reduce their heating and cooling costs by up to 50% right away.
