Advantages of Spray Foam Insulation
- All-in-one insulation, air sealing, and moisture barrier
- High R-value compared to other insulation types
- Longer lifespan
There are many advantages to spray foam insulation, not least of which is a noticeable difference in energy savings. There are different kinds of spray foam insulation, but the main one is known as Spray Polyurethane Foam, or SPF.
SPF can be more effective and economical than any other insulation material, including older pink fiberglass batt insulation, and has an R-value of R-6.2 per inch or higher. Spray foam also expands after being sprayed, which gives complete coverage and prevents air leakage. Finally, SPF maintains its R-value by never compressing, absorbing moisture, allowing air movement, or falling out of place.
Two Types of Spray Polyurethane Foam
The first type of spray foam insulation, 1-part foam, can be found at most hardware stores in pressurized cans with brand names like GREAT STUFF™. The 1-part foam is very sticky and depending on the type you choose, can expand at different rates as soon as you apply it. That seals gaps along with insulating, and can be labeled an “insulating foam sealant.”
If you are looking to insulate more hard-to-reach places or larger areas like an entire wall or basement rim joist, a 2-part foam spray (containing both a resin and a catalyst) used by a spray foam insulation contractor is the solution. This SPF comes in a pair of metal containers. This 2-part spray foam reaction is what causes the foam to expand and insulate those especially hard to reach areas and insulate and air seal your home even more effectively.
Where is Spray Foam Insulation Used in a House?
Since spray is more resistant to moisture than other insulation types, it’s commonly found in basements and crawl spaces. But it’s just as effective in other areas of the home, and many homeowners choose to install spray foam in their attic rafters or exterior walls. A qualified spray foam insulation contractor can sit down with you and find the best solution for your home, and help explain if spray foam insulation will save money for you.
