Spray foam insulation, saves on energy costs and lowers utility bills. Studies by the US Department of Energy show that 40% of a home's energy is lost as the result of air infiltration through walls, windows and doorways. Buildings treated with spray foam insulation insulate as much as 50% better than traditional insulation products.
Insulation properly deployed can be part of a system designed to protect against moisture, which provides the benefit of reducing the chance of harmful mold, mildew and rotting of wood.
In addition to building temperature and moisture control, spray foam insulation is often used to reduce noise. Foam insulation serves as a barrier to airborne sounds, and reduces airborne sound transfer through a building's roof, floor and walls compared an uninsulated structure.
In the United States, homes treated with spray foam insulation often qualify for state and federal tax deductions.
Insulation of all types stops a good deal of energy loss. Some types including spray foams also seal air leaks. Insulation can also save energy in hot climates by reducing air conditioning use.
Open cell foam creates an effective barrier against air movement and sound. It’s useful in walls, ceilings, and roofs. However, due to the open cells, this foam is more likely to absorb moisture and vapor, so it can require the addition of a vapor barrier on the inside of the foam in many applications.
Closed-cell spray foam insulation is similar to open cell in that it forms an air barrier. However, the individual cells or pockets formed within this foam are completely closed. Also, the cells are much more densely packed, making this foam insulation much more rigid than open cell (it can actually improve structural integrity, in some cases).

What is spray foam insulation?
Spray foam insulation is a versatile insulation material composed of two components that are mixed on-site and sprayed onto surfaces. As it is applied, the mixture expands to fill gaps and crevices, hardening into a durable and seamless layer of insulation.
What are the advantages of spray foam insulation?
Spray foam insulation offers several advantages over traditional insulation materials. It provides superior thermal performance by effectively sealing gaps and preventing heat transfer. Additionally, spray foam acts as an air barrier, reducing drafts and improving indoor comfort. Its closed-cell structure also provides excellent moisture resistance, helping to prevent mold and mildew growth.
Is spray foam insulation suitable for my home?
While spray foam insulation can be used in various areas such as attics, walls, and crawl spaces, its suitability depends on factors like building design, climate, and budget. Consultation with a professional insulation contractor is recommended to assess your home's specific needs and determine the most appropriate insulation solution.
