One of the most attic insulation insulation products available, spray foam insulation is applied to attics, roof cavities and wall spaces as a thick liquid and expands as it dries to create a dense insulator. This makes it able to fill tiny gaps, nooks and crannies that can’t be reached with other insulation products, such as fiberglass batts. This insulation can be installed in new construction or as a retrofit for existing homes.

It helps to prevent ice dams by sealing the attic, creating a thermal envelope that blocks warm air from rising and keeping snow and rain water out. It also stops polluted outdoor air from entering the home and improving indoor air quality, making it a healthier environment to work, relax or sleep in.

How Spray Foam Insulation Saves on Energy Costs

The foam acts as an air barrier, preventing the spread of mold and bacteria as well as lowering energy costs. It provides an excellent R-value, which means that it resists the flow of heat and cold more effectively than traditional fiberglass batt insulation. It also reduces the use of climate control systems, reducing energy consumption and saving money for the property owner.

Spray foam insulation is non-toxic once it has cured. However, during the curing process it emits a gas that can cause blurred vision and respiratory issues in some people. It’s best to wear a face mask and protective clothing when working with spray foam insulation. Some spray foam products also contain isocyanates, which can trigger allergies in some people. The good news is that some spray foam products are now available using low GWP blowing agents, such as BASF Walltite CM01 and Genyk Boreal Nature.
