Spray foam insulation works by creating a physical seal against moisture and air. Non-absorbent and able to repel even large leaks, spray foam insulation won’t ever become damp, making it super-long-lasting and cost-effective. Additionally, because spray foam insulation expands to fit the exact shape of your walls and flooring it creates a seal that protects cracks and gaps from accumulating moisture.

Closed cell spray foam insulation is the best option on the market for both commercial and residential construction projects. Properly installed spray foam provides superior protection in a number of areas. Due to its unique structure and ability to expand and fill even small cracks and gaps, spray foam insulation is the ultimate solution for drafty, leaky, chilly buildings that cost a fortune to keep warm. Utilizing closed cell SPF can eliminate the need for a vapor barrier.

The difference between spray foam insulation and more traditional forms of insulation like fiberglass or cellulose is that spray foam insulation is an air barrier and thermal barrier all in one (with closed cell spray foam even offering a moisture barrier as well). This means that spray foam insulation does the job of providing insulation and air sealing with one product Traditional forms of insulation do not provide any barrier to the flow of air.

Spray foam is safe. Some people can be sensitive to the fumes that come from the installation process. This process is known as off-gassing, which is why we recommend that occupants vacate the home once the spraying has begun and for a period of 12-24 hours after it ends. This will allow for the foam to fully off-gas, and afterwards the home will be completely safe to live in.

You may be able to downsize your heating and air conditioning equipment. You will save on your heating and cooling bills. Many studies suggest that homes insulated with spray foam use up to 40 % less energy than homes insulated with conventional insulation.

Because of its rigid nature and ability to adhere to many materials, closed cell spray foam can provide structural enhancement to framed buildings. Racking strength of walls, as well as uplift strength of framed roof decks can be significantly increased with the addition of just 2-3 inches of foam.
