Spray Foam Insulation – How to Choose Quality Insulation for Your Home

Quality Insulation is a premium product that can increase your comfort while cutting down on energy bills. It seals the building envelope when used throughout your home, meaning air can’t leak in or out, which is important for keeping your home comfortable year-round. Air sealing also helps your heating and cooling systems last longer and run more efficiently, so you can save money on your energy bills.

If you’re considering adding spray foam to your home, it’s best to have a professional install it. The process is highly complex and requires specialized equipment, making it too difficult for a homeowner to do on their own. Incorrect installation can cause dangerous off-gassing and reduce the effectiveness of the insulation, leading to discomfort, high energy bills, and mold growth in your home.

Understanding the Cost of Spray Foam Insulation

The type of spray foam that you choose will impact the insulation’s R-value and how it will perform in your home. Closed cell spray foam has a higher R-value per inch, and provides a more airtight barrier that adds structural strength to the wall and roof assembly. Open-cell spray foam has a lower R-value per inch, but is permeable to moisture and provides a more flexible barrier.

The amount of R-value you need will depend on how hot and cold your house is, the number of recessed lights you have, the type of windows you have, and other factors that affect thermal performance. A blower door test can help you determine how much insulation you need to achieve your desired R-value.
