Spray foam insulation is applied on site as liquid, which expands to fill and seal nooks and crannies. It can be sprayed into attics, crawl spaces, and under roofs and around foundation footings in new construction projects, or on wall cavities in existing homes or pole barns. It is also used for air sealing and insulating garages, basements, sheds and metal buildings. It is available in a range of R-values, the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.
It is an air tight insulator that stops heat loss through convection and by blocking the movement of moisture, so it reduces mould and mildew problems. It can be sprayed into small gaps, around plumbing and electrical fixtures or where walls meet doors and windows. It is an ideal solution for new construction homes where there are many different wall and floor surfaces to cover.
Maximizing Energy Efficiency with EcoHome Spray Foam Insulation
Closed cell spray foams are very durable and do not compress or sag over time, so they are an excellent long term insulator. They are a great choice for the discerning homeowner who wants to protect their investment.
Open-cell spray foams are softer and more flexible than closed-cell spray foams. They are also lighter in weight. They are a good choice for residential applications and can be used in the rough-in stage to fill small gaps around light switches, plumbing fixtures and electric wiring.
The blowing agents for open-cell and closed-cell foams have a global warming potential (GWP) of about 1. They are much better than the CFCs used in older spray insulation which had a GWP of 3,400. But they are still not environmentally friendly.
