Spray foam insulation is a thick, durable type of insulation that can seal out air infiltration and reduce energy bills. It can be used in homes, commercial structures, and pole barns. It is sprayed into open spaces like attics, basement rim joists, crawl spaces, and overhangs (or cantilevers). It also can be sprayed in walls where there are gaps or holes that require an extra layer of insulation.

Unlike traditional fiberglass insulation, spray foam won’t compress or sag over time. It expands to fill cracks and crevices, creating an airtight barrier that keeps heat from escaping in the winter and cool air from leaking in the summer. It can be installed in walls, floors, ceilings, and walls, as well as around light fixtures and electrical outlets.

Common Myths About Spray Foam Insulation Debunked

It can be installed in new construction homes, and it is also a great choice for existing homes that need more insulation. When a contractor installs spray foam in an existing home, they usually remove any old insulation first. If a home is being built, the insulation can be put in before drywall installation. Otherwise, the walls would need to be removed for a traditional insulation product to be installed.

If you’re considering spray foam, it’s important to partner with a company that uses low-VOC spray foam. The chemicals that are used to create spray foam can have a high global warming potential (GWP), which is 3,400 times more potent than carbon dioxide on a per kilo basis.
