A spray foam Insulation Contractor comprises two liquids that, when combined and sprayed on surfaces, expand to fill any hole or gap. It can be sprayed on walls, floors, ceilings and around vents or pipes. It is an extremely effective air and vapor barrier, keeping cold or hot air from seeping in during winter and summer respectively. This helps to keep your home at a constant temperature, reducing heating or cooling costs by up to 50% immediately.

It can also reduce the amount of moisture in your home, which can cause damp and mould. This is especially beneficial for places like the attic and crawl spaces, where moisture can build up and cause damage. It can also help to prevent condensation, which is very common in these spaces, saving you money on air conditioning and dehumidifier costs.

Common Misconceptions About Spray Foam Insulation Debunked

In addition to providing an air seal, spray foam insulation is also a highly effective sound absorber and a fire retardant. Some spray foam insulation is even made from recycled products, so you can feel good about choosing this type of product.

The RICS advises homeowners to keep their installation paperwork, including independent test certificates for spray foam insulation, “to assist should they decide to sell or remortgage the property”. This will help them prove they have the right to have it installed.

DIY kits are available for those who want to try their hand at spraying themselves, but it is recommended that you hire a professional to do the job. This is because spray foam insulation off-gases a lot of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the spraying and curing process, which isn’t healthy for occupants of the house.
