Benefits of Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation
Spray foam insulation is a liquid polyurethane
that goes on wet and dries into a sturdy foam.
One of the best aspects of this type of
insulation is that, since it is a liquid, it can
get into those small cracks and crevices that
traditional fiberglass insulation cannot. This
allows for a better seal that will help you to
better regulate the indoor temperature of your
home. The result is a much better insulated home
and a lower monthly utility bill.

More Energy Efficient
Spray foam is known for being more energy
efficient than the common fiberglass insulation.
Its ability to fill more gaps by expanding after
application allows it to greatly reduce the
amount of escaping heat or cold from your home.
Your home will require less to keep the
temperature regulated. Couple this with the fact
that spray foam contains no formaldehyde or
similar chemicals and you have an eco-friendly
alternative to old fashioned pink fiberglass.

Type of Insulation
The ability of this type of insulation to enter,
expand, and seal tiny holes and cracks makes it
great for keeping moisture out of these tiny
areas. These small areas are usually where
moisture would settle and provide a rich breeding
ground for mold and mildew. These tiny spaces
will also be sealed away from little critters
like mice and insects that like to make their
homes within the warm cubbyholes that fiberglass
insulation can provide.
5
Ability to Grow and Shrink
Spray foam also has the ability to grow and
shrink along with your home's natural shifting
and settling. It also works great as a
soundproofing tool. The foam's thickness helps to
dampen noise and it can be applied to places just
as a noise reducer. Add to the list of pros that
this type of insulation is not flammable and
won't make you itch for hours and hours and
what's not to like?
6
Well spray foam insulation is quite expensive.
Currently this type of insulation can run you
around three times the amount of traditional
fiberglass. Obviously, over time, this price gap
should subside. But as of right now it isn't the
most inexpensive insulation to purchase.
7
This type of insulation is so energy efficient it
can actually save you a bundle annually. A recent
study demonstrated that this type of insulation
can save you around 39 on your heating and
cooling each year. That makes spray foam an
investment that will pay you back very quickly.

Spray foam is a fantastic alternative to pink
fiberglass insulation. You get increased energy
efficiency in your home, pest control, moisture
protection, and sound proofing, just to name a
few of the many perks. If you can afford to fork
out the initial cash to have it installed in your
home it will prove itself to be a sound
investment sooner rather than later.
