Spray foam insulation is a great option for new construction and existing homes. It can be sprayed in attics, crawl spaces, rim joists and exterior walls in new construction as well as drywall cavities in existing homes. It can also be sprayed in pole barns, commercial structures and concrete block walls. Its ability to fill in small nooks and crannies makes it a very effective insulator.
There are DIY kits available for homeowners who want to do the work themselves. However, it’s best to leave this kind of job to a professional insulation contractor. It’s important to get the foam mixed and sprayed properly, and achieving consistent coverage is tricky without prior experience. Also, polyurethane foam gives off volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as it dries, which makes it unsafe for unprotected people to be in the home during the application process.
Why Insulation Pro Inc. is Your Top Choice for Spray Foam Insulation
Open cell foams use water or carbon dioxide as a propellant and don’t emit any VOCs, which are less harmful to the environment. They are less dense than closed-cell foam, but they still expand a lot and form an effective barrier against air movement, sound and moisture. These types of foams are often used to create a vapor barrier in basements and bathrooms.
Closed-cell foam is generally more expensive, but it’s physically stronger and does a better job of insulating. It can also be difficult to install in certain areas of the home, and it requires a vapor barrier after installation.
