Quality Insulation is a premium product that provides significant energy savings and home comfort benefits. Its unique design and flexibility make it an effective choice for hard-to-reach areas like wall cavities and attics, as well as domed ceilings. However, homeowners may face questions about its long-term safety and environmental impact.

The primary concern with spray foam insulation is that it contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This includes the blowing agent used to create the tiny holes in the foam that give it its insulating power. Depending on the manufacturer, this compound has high GWP (global warming potential) or is derived from chemicals that have been banned.

To minimize the risk of VOCs, choose a contractor that uses a low GWP blowing agent or an alternative like Ecomate, which is based on naturally occurring methyl methanoate. This will reduce the amount of time that the product needs to cure before being able to be safely used in your home.

Before applying the insulation, the contractor should prepare the area by removing any dust, debris or other contaminants. During the application process, a crew will spray the liquid foam into the nooks and crannies of your home. The foam expands to fill the space, creating air pockets and a barrier that makes it difficult for heat energy or sound to pass through. As it cures, the foam will continue to expand, sealing the nooks and crannies and providing excellent insulating performance.
