What is spray foam insulation?

Spray foam insulation is a cost effective, environmentally friendly alternative for home and commercial insulation. It is made up of polyurethane foam that is applied to the home or building to insulate walls, ceilings and everywhere else one would expect insulation. As a result, it helps to keep the heat inside during the cold months and the hot air outside when it’s warm. Think of it as a thermal envelope. While regular insulation can be easily installed by the homeowner, spray foam insulation isn't a do-it-yourself project. Instead it requires a professional to install it properly.

Why is spray foam insulation the better alternative?

Did you know that enough air escapes from a typical house every day to fill two Goodyear blimps? In winter, cold air seeps in and the warm air that you paid to heat escapes. You can feel it happening around your doors and windows.

If you live in an older house, chances are as much as 50% of your heating and cooling bills can be attributed to air leakage. Even in newer construction with standard insulation, you could be throwing away hundreds of dollars a year!

That’s because conventional fiber insulation provides a poor barrier to air leakage — reducing the effective R-value and contributing to costly energy loss, moisture build-up, even the transfer of airborne pollutants and pollens into your home. Whereas foam insulation expands to fill every crack, virtually eliminating infiltration. Plus, it’s practically waterproof, effectively eliminating moisture problems!

Proper air sealing and insulation stops drafts and maintains humidity levels in winter. In summertime it works to keep your home cool, dry and comfortable. All that while saving you money!

What are the benefits of spray foam insulation?

• Helps stop air and moisture infiltration thereby by eliminating an environment for mould spores and bacterium to take hold
• helps save on energy costs
• can add strength to a building structure
• helps keep dust and pollen out
• barrier to vermin and bugs
