THE BENEFITS OF SPRAY FOAM INSULATION:

Energy efficiency and Cost Savings
Spray foam insulation has one of the highest R-values on the market. R-value measures a material's resistance to heat flow, and a higher value indicates better insulating power. Closed-cell spray foam typically has an R-value of 6.0 to 7.5 per inch, while open-cell foam has an R-value of 3.5 to 3.8 per inch. This is significantly higher than fiberglass batts, which have an R-value of around 2.2 to 4.3 per inch. Spray foam provides superior insulation that ensures consistent indoor temperatures and lower energy bills.
Air Sealing and Moisture Control
Unlike traditional insulation, spray foam expands to fill and seal all cracks, gaps, and crevices. This creates a continuous, airtight barrier that prevents air infiltration, which is responsible for up to 40% of a home's energy loss. By stopping air leaks, spray foam insulation can lead to a substantial reduction in heating and cooling costs, with some homeowners seeing savings of 15% or more.
Mold and Rodent resistance
The inert polymer that makes up spray foam provides no food source for mold or bacteria, creating an inhospitable environment for fungi. By preventing moisture buildup and keeping a space dry, it helps protect against mold and mildew. Spray foam insulation seals entry points, forming a dense barrier that makes it harder for rodents to chew through compared to traditional insulation.
Duarbility and Structural Strength
Closed-cell spray foam is a rigid material that adheres to the surfaces it is sprayed on, effectively "gluing" walls and ceilings together. Studies have shown that walls insulated with closed-cell spray foam can have significantly greater racking strength than those without it. This added structural support can provide some resistance against high winds and other stresses.
Noise Reduction
Closed-cell spray foam helps to muffle noise pollution. The foam's dense structure absorbs sound waves, reducing the amount of noise that enters from outside and providing a quieter indoor environment.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
The airtight seal created by spray foam prevents outdoor allergens, pollutants, and dust from entering the home through cracks and gaps. This can lead to cleaner, more breathable indoor air, which is particularly beneficial for people with allergies or respiratory issues.
Environmental Benefits
Spray foam insulation reduces the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling and therefore a carbon footprint. Modern formulations use blowing agents with a low Global Warming Potential (e.g., HFOs), minimizing their direct climate impact. Our spray foams is made without ozone-depleting chemicals or formaldehyde, further reducing their environmental and health risks.
