The team at Insulate It Solutions frequently receives questions from homeowners asking, “What is spray foam insulation?” This premium product is an excellent insulator that can be used in the attic, basement, crawl space, overhangs (or cantilevers), knee walls and bonus rooms. It seals the building envelope when installed throughout the home so air can’t leak into or out of the house. This prevents your furnace and air conditioner from running non-stop year-round to keep up with the escaping energy. It also prevents the temperature inside your home from fluctuating, causing energy bills to go up and down all the time.

Foam insulation can last as long as the building it is protecting. It is highly resistant to moisture, the wind and extreme temperatures.

It is also one of the most environmentally conscious insulation options available today. The materials are composed of recycled paper, which makes it a green choice. Cellulose insulation, however, has been known to settle over time, causing it to lose its effectiveness and requiring re-application. Additionally, it requires special fireproofing treatment.

Spray foam can be installed as a retrofit to existing homes or can be utilized in new construction. It is applied on-site as a liquid, which expands to fill the nooks and crannies where air leaks. It is made of polyurethane foam and comprises two liquid chemical components that undergo a chemical reaction to create this plastic foam. Spray foam can emit odors that may be unpleasant for some people, but these will diminish once the foam is mixed and cured. This typically takes 24 hours after the installation is complete.
