Spray foam insulation seals gaps and crevices, minimizing conduction and convection that increase heating and cooling costs. It also blocks air leaks that account for a significant portion of energy waste. As a result, homeowners could save up to 50% on their energy bills right away.
Because this type of insulation is installed as a liquid, it can reach places that are difficult to insulate with fiberglass batts and other forms of traditional insulation. This includes small cracks, crevices, and spaces between the studs in walls. It also insulates ductwork better than other insulation products.

When spray foam is properly applied by a trained professional, it becomes an effective air and vapor barrier. It prevents moisture from penetrating into areas that are often damp and humid, such as the attic and crawl space. This keeps the dehumidifier or air conditioner from having to work harder than necessary to remove moisture and vapor from these areas, which can reduce energy efficiency and lead to mold and mildew.
A quality spray foam insulation product uses a proprietary formulation that is comprised of two chemicals (isocyanate and polyol resin, typically) kept in separate hoppers or tanks and transported by gas pressure and a liquid solution until they meet at the tip of the spray gun. Once the two chemicals meet, they react and expand in place, creating an air and vapor barrier that is durable and long-lasting.
While DIY kits are available for home and business owners who want to do their installation, it is best to choose a professional to ensure consistency in coverage and proper expansion throughout the project. Professional contractors will also be able to monitor the product and its temperature as it is being installed. This helps ensure that the spray foam is being installed at the proper temperature to maximize its performance and durability.
