Attic insulation, made from inert polyurethane, offers a number of benefits that make it a superior option to traditional fiberglass or cellulose. The product can be applied in a variety of spaces, including walls, attics and foundations. It is also much more durable than batt insulation. It can withstand high winds and is available in closed and open cell varieties. Closed cell spray foam is a bit more expensive, but it creates an effective vapor barrier and is stronger.

Homeowners considering spray foam should choose a professional installer for the job. The process is more complicated than putting down a roll of bubble wrap, and it takes special tools to get the job done right. Additionally, the spray foam itself dries very fast and is difficult to handle if not properly installed by a skilled contractor.

Common Myths About Spray Foam Insulation Debunked

One of the biggest benefits of spray foam insulation is that it seals a space tightly, creating a custom airtight envelope inside a building structure. This prevents convective heat transfer from the exterior to the interior in the winter and vice versa during cooling months. This significantly reduces energy costs and helps the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Additionally, because the foam seals a space so well, it can keep a consistent temperature for extended periods. This can lead to a reduction in the need for heating and cooling systems and can save homeowners significant money on utility bills year-round.
