What is spray foam insulation?

Spray foam (SPF) is a versatile insulation used in new home builds and renovations (called retrofits) to enhance thermal performance and create an airtight barrier against energy loss and gain.

Spray foam is typically applied as a liquid that expands into a solid foam, filling gaps and crevices in walls, ceilings, and attics. With its air sealing properties, spray foam insulation can reduce HVAC usage by helping to maintain the home’s temperature, making your home more energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.

Why is spray foam insulation growing so fast?

Spray foam is one of the fastest growing insulating materials in the U.S. with 16% market share of all insulation material revenue as of 2022.* With increased governmental focus on energy efficient homes and building standards, The Inflation Reduction Act and its incentives have accelerated spray foam adoption by home owners. Spray foam has become a mainstream insulation material with tremendous momentum and is projected to grow at a faster rate than other insulating materials for the next 5 years.*

BRINGING THE BENEFITS OF SPRAY FOAM INSULATION TO LIFE IN YOUR HOME

KEY BENEFITS OF SPRAY FOAM:

The versatility of spray foam, coupled with its superior insulating and sealing capabilities, makes it an invaluable home investment.

✔️ Spray foam insulated attics are sealed, preventing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.

✔️ Spray foam seals and insulates ducts, minimizing energy loss and    enhancing HVAC system efficiency.

✔️ In walls, spray foam creates a continuous thermal barrier, minimizing energy transfer and maintaining indoor comfort.

✔️ Spray foam insulation can save upto 50% on monthly heating and cooling expenses.

✔️ Spray foam installed is a garage helps regulate home temperature,  especially if the garage is connected to the house.

Time for home improvements?

Retrofit with spray foam. Retrofitting with spray foam insulation is a process of upgrading an existing home or building with spray foam insulation. It involves the application of spray foam to various areas of the structure, such as attics, walls, crawl spaces, and basements, to improve energy efficiency and overall comfort.

WHY IS SPRAY FOAM BETTER THAN FIBERGLASS?

Spray foam insulation creates an air barrier preventing unwanted air entry or loss from the home or building. The air sealing performance sets spray foam apart from alternative insulating materials because it reduces energy loss, prevents drafts, and keeps out allergens, dust, and other air pollutants

Closed cell insulation delivers the added benefits of being a vapor barrier and increasing structural strength by up to 300%!!.

See how spray foam insulation outperforms compared to fiberglass insulation, the most commonly used residential home insulation in the chart below.

Benefits Closed Cell Spray Foam Open Cell Spray Foam Fiberglass Insulation
