spray foam insulation has become a go-to for builders and homeowners who are seeking energy efficiency in new homes or in upgrading existing structures. It fills tiny cracks and fissures to create an effective air seal, keeping heat in during the winter and out during the summer. It’s also physically stronger than traditional batt insulation, and closed-cell versions of the product can block the movement of moisture into wall and roof cavities.

Unlike traditional insulating materials, which rely on air movement to help them retain their shape, spray foam insulation relies on a chemical reaction between two chemicals. As the product is sprayed, it expands to form an effectively continuous barrier that covers all nooks and crannies in walls and ceilings. This allows it to fill spaces that are difficult for other types of insulation to reach – such as the space surrounding window or door frames.
The foam can also be sprayed into attics and other hard-to-reach places that traditional insulation cannot fit. Depending on the product used, it can be up to 100 times more effective than traditional batt insulation per square foot.
While there are DIY kits available, a professional installation can be a cost-effective option that produces better results. A professional installer is trained to avoid pitfalls that could result in damage to drywall, and to make sure the job is done correctly so it has long-term benefits.
A professional can help homeowners determine which type of spray foam is best for their project. They can also conduct an energy audit that will give homeowners a precise estimate of how much the insulation will cost, helping them align their budgets with their goals.
