Spray foam insulation is an effective air sealer, making it perfect for new construction projects as well as retrofits into existing homes, pole barns and commercial structures. It’s sprayed on the walls, ceiling and attic of the building to be insulated and it quickly expands (closed-cell spray foam tends to expand a lot) to fill in gaps and crevices that would otherwise leave spaces for cold air to move in during the winter and warm air to move in during summer.

This type of insulation also creates an effective vapor barrier, reducing the risk of condensation and mildew. In addition, it has a higher R-value per inch than traditional batt insulation.

Reducing Energy Bills with Spray Foam Insulation

When properly installed by a certified professional, it can significantly reduce household energy costs, especially during the cold winters and hot North Carolina summers. This is because the powerful sealing ability of spray foam insulation can dramatically decrease air movement through the house, allowing HVAC systems to run less and use less electricity.

It’s important to note that, during the spraying and curing process of spray foam insulation, it off-gasses a lot of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including some that are ozone depleting. Therefore, it is typically recommended that home occupants evacuate the home during the spraying and the curing process until the area is sufficiently ventilated.

Additionally, a professional contractor will ensure that the open or closed-cell spray foam is applied correctly for maximum performance. If the wrong type is used, it may not perform well or even be a health hazard to residents of the home.
