Spray Foam Insulation is the process of using a sprayer that mixes two liquids to insulate walls, attics, ceilings, floors, basements and crawlspaces. Once sprayed, the liquids create a foam that expands to fill cavities and cover surfaces. Spray foam always results in a warmer winter, cooler summer and a nice decrease in energy bills.
Why Choose Spray Foam?
Unlike the more traditional forms of insulation, spray foam is both an air and thermal barrier. At Insul-Seal Home Insulation, we use closed-cell spray foam, which also adds a vapor barrier. Spray foam does 3 jobs in one, whereas the more traditional forms don’t provide a barrier to air flow.
Is Spray Foam Safe?
Yes! Spray foam doesn’t contain CFC’s, VOC’s, PENTA-BDE’s, or Formaldehyde. During installation, the foam produces fumes that some people may be sensitive to, so we recommend staying out of the home for 12-24 hours after spraying. After this time frame, the home is completely safe to live in.
