Spray foam insulation is used to help control temperatures in a home or building. Spray foam is a powerful insulator that outperforms other commonly used types of insulation (fiberglass, mineral wool, polyurethane foam).Some people do not look into spray foam because of the price point. When installing spray foam, there is a cost and commitment to using the stuff in your home. Without knowing all the benefits that spray foam offers, people may be more inclined to use cheaper, less effective insulators.
Other benefits besides effectiveness warrant spending the extra cash for spray foam insulation.
- Spray foam creates an air-tight seal in cracks in attics and crawls spaces. The biggest waste of energy in the home is the result of air leaks. Spray foams are over 20 times less permeable to air than other insulation types.
- It also creates a moisture barrier as well. Spray foam insulation is waterproof, which means that water cannot get through. In flood situations, spray foam can help to keep your home dry.
- Spray foam is composed of inert polymers that offer no sustenance to mold or bacteria. This type of insulation protects homes from mold and mildew.
- Spray foam has an indefinite lifespan, which means that it will not deteriorate over time. Once spray foam is installed correctly, you will have nothing to worry about.
