The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

Spray Foam Insulation is a popular choice for new construction and retrofit applications. Its unique characteristics set it apart from other insulation products and provide significant cost savings for home and building owners. It is made from a combination of chemicals that react to expand and fill nooks, crannies and gaps. This helps to eliminate drafts and air leakage, which can increase a building’s energy costs and lead to discomfort.

In fact, some homes leak enough air each day to fill two blimps, which can cause high heating and cooling costs. A home insulated with open or closed cell spray foam can prevent these energy losses by creating a custom airtight envelope that maintains the desired indoor temperature.
