If you have been looking for a way to save on energy bills, then spray foam insulation is the answer. This highly energy-efficient material can reduce heating and cooling costs by, on average, 50% right away. The reason it can do this so quickly is that it closes the nooks and crannies that let air escape – a problem that accounts for up to 40% of a home’s energy loss.

When properly installed, spray foam insulation acts as both an insulator and an air sealant, closing all those holes that cause air infiltration and drive up utility bills. When applied to attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists in new construction or existing homes, this weatherization technique dramatically cuts energy costs.

The Environmental Impact of Spray Foam Insulation: A Sustainable Choice

Depending on the type of spray polyurethane foam you choose, it may be able to be used in just about any location – from walls and roofs in old houses to drywall cavities in new construction and pole barns. The material is sprayed on to the surface using a special gun that has two component parts (isocyanate and polyol resin). Once mixed, the mixture expands immediately, filling in any gaps or voids that could affect temperature regulation in the space.

For maximum safety and efficiency, most homeowners will choose to hire a professional contractor for their spray foam insulation install. These contractors will use their specialized spray rigs to ensure that the mixture is the correct temperature and that it is evenly sprayed across all areas. They will also have the experience to apply spray foam insulation in a manner that will prevent it from sagging or swelling. In addition, they will know how to follow strict instructions to avoid chemical burns.
