Insulation Contractor is a popular choice for new homes and renovation projects. However, there is a lot that you might not know about this popular insulation option that could have you reconsidering it.
In short, spray foam is a thick, closed-cell, thermal and acoustic insulation that fills gaps and cracks where traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation might not be able to go. The airtight seal stops drafts and cold spots, prevents moisture penetration and creates a more comfortable home. It can also help reduce energy costs.

When sprayed, the foam expands to up to 100 times its original size to fill all the little nooks and crannies where air leakage occurs. This is what gives it such an effective insulator. The insulating properties of spray foam also improve on the R-value (resistant to heat flow) of conventional insulation, as well as impacting the conduction and convection processes that affect how much heat your home loses.
What is important to note about spray foam is that it can be used in both open and closed walls. It can also be used in roofs, attics, joists and around recessed lights, electrical outlets and more.
It can even be used in curved spaces, domed roofs and basements. However, it is important to keep in mind that spray foam has a high environmental impact due to the blowing agent used to produce it. The new HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) blowing agents have a global warming potential (GWP) of 1. That means that insulating 1,430 houses with spray foam does the same atmospheric harm as 1 house would have done without it in the past.
