Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation can be used in old and new homes and there are many different benefits. 

Heating and Cooling Benefits

Spray foam can get into crevices and cracks. Once the foam can get in the cracks it dries and expands quickly and blocks out water and air. When it blocks out the air and the water, it also blocks out the cold and heat. This means spray foam insulation can lower your cooling and heating bills to save you money in the long run. 

Noise Reduction

Spray foam can significantly reduce noise compared to other types of insulation. This way, you won’t ever have to worry about how noisy your neighbors are. 

Reduce Allergens and Pollen

This type of insulation can reduce the number of allergens and pollen that get into the walls. Since the foam gets into the crevices and cracks the air isn’t able to penetrate. Those who suffer from respiratory conditions or allergies would benefit from this type of insulation. Offices that have spray foam for insulation have more productive and happier workers.

Prevent Insects, Small Rodents, and Other Bugs from Getting in the Home

Any tiny holes in your building can mean an invitation to bugs and insects. When the cracks close, you can be sure that you are blocking out any tiny intruders. When the insulation dries, it gets hard and a hard barrier deters insects and other rodents. You will also reduce your chances of illnesses from any rodent waste. 

Prevents Mildew and Mold Growth

This insulation prevents moisture from getting into the walls. The foam reduces the building up of condensation and is a barrier against big quantities of water. The less water that can get into the walls, the less chance there will be mildew and mold.

It Lasts Longer

Other insulation will need to be replaced over time and spray foam insulation doesn’t break or sag over long periods, which can save you money long term.
