While it can be a costly upgrade, spray foam insulation is long-lasting and saves energy and money over time. It also helps prevent air leaks that can lead to higher heating and cooling costs. It’s important to check your spray insulation regularly for any deterioration that could compromise its effectiveness and seal.

Unlike attic insulation and styrofoam insulation, which can crack and sag over time, spray foam is durable and stays in place. It also guards against the growth of mold and mildew and is more environmentally friendly than other insulating materials.

Spray Foam vs. Traditional Insulation: What You Need to Know

A professional installer will conduct an initial assessment of your home and determine the type of insulation that is best suited to your space and budget. The foam is sprayed into spaces in liquid form, where it hardens to create a thick layer of insulation. It can be applied in attics and roof cavities, wall cavities, and under floors.

Open-cell and closed-cell foams are the most popular types of spray insulation. Both are formulated from polyurethane, but open-cell foam expands more and fills gaps and voids to provide superior insulation and air sealing. Closed-cell foam is denser than open-cell and provides exceptional thermal insulation and moisture resistance.

The airtight seal created by spray insulation keeps warm indoor air inside during the winter and cool indoor air outside in summer. This can reduce your HVAC usage and lower your electricity bills, and you’ll enjoy increased comfort throughout the year. In addition, the airtight seal can help prevent ice dams from forming on your roof in the winter.
