A house owner’s ultimate guide to spray foam insulation


The benefits of insulation are known to all but before availing any services you need to go through the important facts about the entire process. As the saying goes, ‘half knowledge is dangerous’, so it rather important to gain detailed knowledge about the pros and cons of spray foam insulation. So, let’s start with the basics. 

Sprayfoam insulation is nothing but a mixture made out of liquid chemicals. When this mixture is sprayed into the position, it expands, leading to the formation of an insulating layer.

Sprayfoam insulation


Generally, there are two kinds of spray foam insulation-

Open Cell: It gets easily adhered to the material and due to its flexible nature, it moves with the expansion and contraction of the material. It is considered to be breathable insulation as it allows moisture and air to traverse through the material.

Closed Cell: It is more rigid compared to the previous option and is famous for providing stability to the overall structure. It allows neither air nor moisture to traverse through the material.

Know the Benefits

·    The flexibility of foam allows it to reach parts of the wall that other materials may not be able to reach.

     With the help of skilled workers, insulation can be done pretty quickly.

With no passage for air, insulation helps in maintaining the indoor temperature, irrespective of the season.

Since insulation keeps the indoor temperature maintained, the cost of energy use gets automatically reduced.
