Spray Foam Insulation Advantages

Spray Foam Insulation Advantages

A Energy Solutions advantage of spray foam insulation over fiberglass is that it doesn’t lose its R-value over time. Fiberglass insulation can lose its insulating power due to moisture or dirt. This makes spray foam a great choice for homes in cold climates.

Another benefit of foam is that it creates a tight seal in the home. This prevents air leakage that wastes energy. It is estimated that up to 40% of household energy bills come from air leakage. Spray foam insulation fills the cracks and gaps in the home that are responsible for this problem. It also stops air flow and reduces noise from outside the home.

The installation process for spray foam is quick and straightforward. The installers take a truck and trailer to the building site. They then attach a hose to the rig and use it to spray insulation into the attic, crawl space or rim joist in an existing home. It can also be sprayed into walls and concrete block in new construction or pole barns. The crew will remove any old insulation from the area they are working in and then spray in a layer of spray foam insulation.

The crew will make sure the layer of spray foam is thick enough to prevent heat and cool air loss. This will save the homeowner on energy costs and make them feel more comfortable year-round. Spray foam insulation also works well in conjunction with solar panels, which can further cut energy costs. Both open and closed-cell spray foam can help homeowners recoup the initial cost within a few years through energy savings.
