Spray foam insulation is a great choice for homes that have a lot of gaps, crevices, or tight spaces. It expands to fill these spaces and create an air seal that will help you save energy. In addition, unlike other insulating materials, spray foam won’t compress or lose its shape over time.
The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
You’re probably familiar with spray foam insulation as it appears to be the hottest new trend in green weatherization. Homeowners and contractors alike are embracing this premium insulator as a way to reduce home energy costs and cut carbon emissions. Many are even able to take advantage of tax rebates and incentives that offer substantial financial savings on the installation costs.
The main reason behind this surge is because of spray foam’s superior thermal properties and its ability to insulate areas where other materials simply can’t. While cellulose, mineral wool and foam board insulation can do a decent job in most situations, spray foam has proven to be more effective and efficient.
Additionally, the open-cell spray foam that we use does not contain a chemical known as polyisocyanurate or HFC-32. This is a significant step toward sustainability as HFCs have a global warming potential of 3,400 times that of carbon dioxide.
If you’re thinking about installing spray foam insulation in your home, it’s important to choose a professional contractor that uses a climate safe blowing agent. This is because the HFC-32 blowing agents used in traditional spray foam are currently on the verge of being phased out under the Kigali Amendment to the 1987 Montreal Protocol.
