Where can spray foam be used?

Spray foam can be used in the same areas that conventional insulation is used. It is commonly used in new construction homes, garages, pole buildings and commercial buildings.

Historically, homes were built to "breathe."  Allowing a house to "breathe" is a way to ensure that moisture doesn't become trapped and increase the potential for mold growth. However, this allows for the inflow of pollutants and allergens and the loss of controlled air. 

Spray foam eliminates these issues by raising the standards of functionality and design. Sealing and insulating the shell of your home or building is often the most cost effective way to improve efficiency along with comfort.

Does spray foam really work?

When comparing a conventional insulated home (with a vented attic) to a spray foam insulated home (with an unvented attic) when the outside temperature is 90 degrees, the non-climate controlled conventional home's attic space temperature will be about 145 degrees.

The spray foam insulated home's semi-controlled attic space temperature will be about 81 degrees.

Spray foam is effective, efficient and can save you $$$ in the long run.

Can it be used on basement walls?

Spray foam insulation can be used on below grade foundations or exposed basement walls in place of tar. It provides both thermal and moisture barriers.

When properly installed, spray foam insulation lasts a lifetime. It doesn't shrink or sag, which provides continual energy savings.
