Spray foam insulation is a premium product that can save energy, reduce utility bills and make buildings more comfortable. It is sprayed on walls, attics and other areas and expands to fill nooks and crannies that would be hard to get with other types of insulation. It can also block unwanted moisture that leads to mildew, mold and structural damage.

Spray Foam is made of open or closed cell urethane that can be sprayed in attics, crawl spaces, basements and rim joists. It is also used in new construction during the rough-in stage to fill voids around plumbing and electrical wiring. Unlike fiberglass or cellulose insulation, it does not compress or sag over time. The little pockets of air inside the foam make it a durable material that can resist heat transfer and sound movement.
It is important to work with a professional installer when using spray foam in your home or business. This ensures that the material is correctly mixed and applied in order to achieve a maximum R-value. It also helps to protect homeowners and businesses from the risks of improper installation, which can lead to health and safety concerns.
When you hire a contractor for spray foam insulation, they will arrive with a truck that holds the chemical components necessary to create polyurethane foam. The chemicals are sprayed through a long hose and into the area that needs insulating. They will use a special tool called a foam gun to apply the liquid insulation, which will instantly expand to fill the space. Homeowners should be sure to wear personal protective equipment and should stay out of the area while the foam is curing, which typically takes about 24 hours.
