When installed properly, spray foam insulation can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50%. In addition, it reduces moisture within a home which can lead to mold and mildew problems. This makes it much easier to control humidity levels and improves indoor air quality.

Spray foam insulation is also a greener choice than other insulation options due to the fact that it creates an air seal which prevents convective movement of energy, which is how heat is traditionally transferred from inside to outside a building envelope. With the help of solar panels, the energy savings can be even more significant.

In addition to saving money on utility bills, spray foam insulation will also increase a property’s value and make it more attractive to potential buyers. In some cases, the investment can be recouped in less than three to five years, depending on the type of installation.

How New Generation Spray Foam Enhances Energy Savings

Closed and open-cell spray foam are a popular choice among residential and commercial builders. Each option provides a different R-value per inch, a measurement that measures how well the material resists the flow of thermal energy. Open-cell insulation is cheaper than closed-cell, and it can fit in nooks and crannies that are difficult to reach with other methods.

Both types of spray foam are non-toxic once they have fully cured, but it is important to use full face and respiratory protection when applying spray foam. While it is curing, spray foam emits a gas that has been known to cause blurred vision and trouble breathing in some people. Newer spray foam formulations do not use CFCs or HCFCs and utilize an eco-friendly blowing agent called Ecomate that is free of hydrofluoroolefins.
