Attic insulation is a closed-cell product that can be sprayed into walls, ceilings and attics during the rough-in stage of construction. It fills cracks, voids and crevices creating an airtight seal, stopping heat loss and helping to prevent mould and mildew.

It also helps to reduce energy bills because it prevents a lot of the air leakage that is responsible for high heating and cooling costs. In addition, spray foam is extremely effective in reducing noise from traffic and neighbors. It also traps airborne pollutants, allergens and other contaminants in the foam where they can’t escape, making it a great choice for people with asthma or seasonal allergies.

Top Reasons to Choose EcoHome Spray Foam for Your Insulation Needs

One important thing to note is that spray foam does off-gas a large amount of volatile organic compounds while it’s being applied and as it’s curing. It’s recommended that occupants of the house remain out during this process and use face and respiratory protection to protect themselves. Once it’s fully cured there isn’t much off-gassing left.

The other issue to consider is that spray foam insulation can be difficult for homeowners with chemical sensitivities to install. Many spray foam insulators contain isocyanate, which can trigger respiratory irritation and chemical sensitivities in certain individuals. However, manufacturers are beginning to transition to low-GWP blowing agents in their products which may lessen the problem for some home occupants with chemical sensitivities. This is a positive step in the right direction. Regardless, it’s still highly recommended that any homeowner with chemical sensitivities or other health issues seek the advice of their doctor before choosing to insulate their property with spray foam.

The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is one of the largest contributors to household energy consumption. The constant transfer of heat between the indoor and outdoor environment can be balanced with spray foam insulation, allowing the HVAC to run less while still maintaining a stable temperature in the house.

It’s also possible to cut down on the use of space heaters, ceiling fans, box fans and other climate-controlling devices. This saves a lot of money on electricity bills and creates a more sustainable living environment for you and your family.

In addition, spray foam insulation prevents the nooks and crannies that can cause air leakage which is a major contributing factor to high utility costs. It provides a sealed thermal envelope, lowering energy costs by about 50% right away.

Unlike fiberglass or cellulose insulation, spray foam doesn’t lose its shape over time and is more durable. It can be applied to new construction and existing homes, including attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists. It can even be sprayed into an existing chimney, as it is moisture-resistant and won’t encourage mildew or mold.

It’s recommended that home occupants stay out of the house during spraying and curing, as the product off-gasses large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). While DIY kits are available for people who want to install the insulation themselves, it’s best to let professional technicians handle this job. They have the knowledge, tools and equipment necessary to ensure consistent expansion and application of the insulation.

Unlike fiberglass batt insulation, spray foam insulation acts as both insulation and an air sealant, closing those tiny gaps that let energy dollars go to waste. It also stops moisture leaks that can cause mold and mildew. Adding spray foam insulation to basement rim joist, crawl spaces, attics, knee walls and other areas helps reduce your monthly energy bills.

The primary material used to create spray foam insulation is polyurethane. It’s formed when two chemicals (isocyanate and polyol resin) are blended together at the tip of a spray gun, creating an air and moisture barrier that’s hard to beat. In the past, there were concerns about the environmental toxicity of this material, but it’s become much more eco-friendly in recent years thanks to advancements made to the blowing agents that help the foam expand.

Spray foam insulation is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint by reducing the need to use climate control systems, which consume large amounts of energy. Property owners who use their HVAC systems less often will experience lower energy bills and protect their buildings from premature wear and tear, extending their lifespans and offering a quick return on investment.

Spray foam is also a great way to reduce noise pollution. Closed-cell spray foam prevents air from leaking through walls, improving indoor quality by limiting the flow of polluted outdoor air. This can improve occupants’ comfort while they work, sleep and play in their homes and offices.
