The primary advantage of spray foam insulation is that it acts as both an insulator and air sealant. It closes the nooks and crannies in walls, attics, basements, crawl spaces, and other spaces where heat escapes and drives up energy bills. Up to 40% of a building’s energy is lost due to air infiltration, and spray foam reduces that number by as much as 20%.
It also protects against mildew and mold, which is important for homeowners and builders in humid climates. The polymer that makes up this type of insulation is inert, so it doesn’t provide a food source for bacteria and other contaminants. Spray foam is also moisture-resistant, keeping it safe and dry inside your home or commercial building.

Another advantage is that it helps reduce the workload on your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Up to half of a home’s energy consumption is spent running the HVAC system during different seasons. Spray foam insulation cuts energy consumption by up to 20% and reduces HVAC sizing by 35%.
Lastly, attic insulation insulation reduces noise from outside and within your home. This can help you maintain friendly relationships with neighbors without having to deal with their noisy kids or late-night dinner parties. It can also be a relief for those who suffer from seasonal allergies. This is because spray insulation provides a healthy air barrier, helping to reduce sources of allergens like dust, pollen, and other pollutants.
