When properly installed, spray foam insulation will save money on energy bills, and help the homeowner to quickly recoup their investment in installation costs. It is a green building material that has been rated highly by many organizations. It insulates better than fiberglass and cellulose, and can lead to major heating and cooling cost savings for the homeowner.

It is sprayed in place by a specialized spray gun. The liquid spray expands 30-60 times its original size once it dries, filling cracks, gaps, and crevices, creating an airtight seal. It can be sprayed in new construction, attics, crawl spaces, basements, and rim joists in homes, commercial structures, pole barns, and more.

Spray Foam Insulation Benefits: Why 316 Insulation is a Top Choice

Homeowners can choose between open or closed cell spray foam. Closed cells are more expensive, but it provide a higher R-value per inch and create an air and vapor barrier in one. It is also stronger and helps with sound attenuation.

Spray foam is easy to install. It can be sprayed into hard-to-reach places like corners and the space around electrical outlets, lights, windows and doors. It adheres to surfaces and doesn’t lose its shape over time. It also resists moisture and mold, reducing the risk of moisture damage.

It is important to work with a qualified, experienced spray foam installer. The installer should be trained in the proper mixture and application of the spray foam and should use advanced safety equipment to ensure that the spraying process is carried out correctly. Incorrectly applied spray foam will not provide the desired insulation results, and can lead to health risks for the homeowner and contractor.
