The main function of spray foam insulation is to resist the flow of heat in and out of a space. Insulation helps to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, all without causing your energy bills to skyrocket.

Traditional insulation options like fiberglass or cellulose do not provide this air sealing effect, so their effectiveness is limited. By minimizing air leakage, spray foam insulation can reduce your heating and cooling costs significantly by keeping the heat inside your home and the outside air out.

Spray foam insulation is sprayed in the spaces between wall studs and rafters in new construction or on rim joists and crawlspaces in existing homes, barns and pole buildings. The foam expands into the empty gaps and crevices, and when properly installed will last for as long as the building does.

If you’re considering installing spray foam insulation in your home, there are a few things you should know before hiring someone to do it. Improper installation of spray foam insulation can lead to moisture entrapment, mold, and other serious issues that can be expensive to remediate.

Also, the type of spray foam insulation used in your home has an impact on your energy efficiency goals. Many manufacturers are now switching to lower GWP blowing agents, which means you’ll be getting more efficient insulation while reducing your carbon footprint. Choosing spray foam insulation that is low GWP is an important consideration, so make sure to ask your contractor about the type of insulation they use.
