SPRAY FOAMINSULATION:THE BASICS

Spray foam insulationhas become very popular and

there are some things you should knowabout it before making afinal decision of any kind.

Spray foam is the most effectiveinsulation material when it comes to

preventing air infiltration and energy lossin a home or building of any kind.

Spray foam lasts much longer thanfiberglass or any other type of insulation.

It can be used in even the smallestand cramped areas of a house

where other types of insulation cannot.

There are twodifferent types of spray foam:

closed-cell and open-cell.

Open-cell SPF is much lighter andless dense as well as cheaper,

but it doesn't have as muchinsulating power.

Closed-cell SPF is denser but also costsmore, but it can offer more rigid support

for certain types of structures as well as acting as a water vapor barrier.

Spray foam insulation has becomeso popular in the U.S. because of

how effective it is at combating air leakagesand also how good it is at blocking

small holes in a structure.

Installing spray foam insulation isfairly easy for contractors, though it

can be somewhat expensive for those whoare interested in having it installed.
