The average household spends over 50% of its annual energy bills on heating and cooling, so improving its efficiency goes a long way in helping lower those utility costs. One of the best ways to do this is by installing spray foam insulation.

The process involves spraying a liquid polyurethane foam onto surfaces, which then expands to fill spaces. This creates an airtight barrier that’s resistant to drafts, moisture and pests. In addition, this type of insulation helps to prevent heat loss, which can reduce HVAC system workload.

There are two kinds of Advanced Seal Spray Foam Insulation: open and closed cells. The open-cell foam creates little pockets or “cells” that make it more difficult for heat to pass through them, while closed-cell foam has a denser structure that’s better at blocking air flow. The type of foam you choose depends largely on your personal preference and what you’re trying to accomplish.

Spray Foam Insulation: Benefits for Your Home

In addition to lowering energy bills, spray foam insulation can help reduce outdoor noise and improve indoor air quality. The spray foam contains chemicals that act as a health-promoting air barrier, which helps to reduce mold growth, dust mites, and other allergens. This can be particularly helpful for homeowners who struggle with seasonal allergies, as it can mean fewer runny noses and the need for antihistamines throughout the spring season.

It’s typically best to hire a professional contractor for spray foam insulation installation. The product can be messy, and the professionals will know how to apply it properly to prevent sagging or swelling. They’ll also be able to provide you with an R-value, which is the measure of how well the foam insulates.
