spray foam insulation is sprayed directly onto the surface of your home or building, filling all the little cracks and crevices that other insulation materials might miss. Its airtight quality helps reduce heating and cooling costs. The spongy substance also absorbs sound and muffles clanking of plumbing and air ducts.
The Environmental Impact of HD Spray Foam Insulation
Where your project is located and what you are insulating against will influence which type of spray foam you can use. Closed-cell spray foam adheres better to wood, metal and masonry surfaces than open cell does. Closed-cell is typically the preferred spray foam for below-grade projects because it acts as an air and vapor barrier in one.
You can install spray foam insulation in new construction, old buildings, attics, crawl spaces, rim joists and pole barns. You can even use it in a retrofit application to seal air leaks around windows and doors.
Before spraying, it’s important to prep the surface. It must be clean, dry and free of dust, dirt or debris. It’s also important to wear gloves, goggles and breathing apparatuses when handling this material. The chemicals in spray foam are abrasive to the skin, eyes and lungs.
During the spraying process, isocyanate and polyol resin are sprayed into place where they combine and expand. Closed-cell spray foam uses an air compressor to propel the liquid chemicals into place where they harden. Open-cell spray foam does not require an air compressor and instead utilizes water or carbon dioxide for the propellant. Open-cell spray foam is softer and more flexible than closed-cell foam and usually uses low GWP blowing agents.
