Distinctive Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation contractor is a great option for insulating your home or commercial building. The material insulates much better than fiberglass or cellulose and can lead to significant heating and cooling cost savings. However, the material must be applied properly for optimal results and to avoid safety concerns. A DIYer with intermediate DIY skills and the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) can install spray foam insulation. Before starting, it’s essential to prepare the area for application. The surface should be clean and free from dust, debris, or other contaminants. It’s also important to mix the spray foam correctly to ensure even expansion and curing.

Spray Foam Insulation is Made of

Polyurethane is a type of plastic, and it is formed by two liquid chemical components that undergo a chemical reaction when they are sprayed together. The resulting polyurethane is an expandable, airtight, and waterproof substance. It has little pockets that create barriers and make it difficult for heat energy or sound to pass through them.

The two types of spray foam used in residential insulation are open-cell and closed-cell. Both have different R-values, but they are similar in their ability to reduce air leakage in a house and save on energy costs. Closed-cell foam is also more resistant to moisture and odors than open-cell spray insulation. If you choose to use open-cell spray foam, it’s best to use a low-GWP blowing agent for more sustainable results. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when applying spray foam insulation.
