spray foam insulation (often referred to as polyurethane spray, or SPF) is a high-performance alternative to fiberglass insulation. It’s sprayed on roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities or through holes drilled in walls as a liquid mixture that expands up to 30-60 times its original volume and hardens into a thick, rigid foam insulation.

How Spray Foam Insulation Enhances Energy Efficiency

A professional installer will use a specialized spray gun to apply the liquid foam. Closed-cell spray foam is available in DIY kits, but achieving consistent coverage and proper expansion can be challenging without previous experience. Professionals are also able to monitor the temperature and humidity of the foam as it’s applied, which allows them to achieve maximum R-value per inch.

The closed-cell foam also serves as an air and vapor barrier, so you won’t have to worry about moisture or odors building up within your home. Plus, the spray insulation has a very low VOC level so you won’t have to deal with unpleasant off-gassing during the curing process.

Insulation impacts the conduction and convection of heat, so it’s important to choose a product that works well in your climate. In addition to keeping your home warm and comfortable in the winter, it can help keep it cool and reduce your energy bills during the summer. By reducing air leaks, spray insulation can save you money year-round. It’s also a great way to reduce allergens like mold and pollen that can make you and your family sick.
