Many homeowners ask us at South Central Services, “What is spray foam spray foam insulation?” This is a great question because spray foam is a relatively new form of home insulation. In simple terms, it’s a type of plastic foam that is sprayed in place and it expands to fill the space. It is an excellent insulator that provides better coverage than fiberglass batts or rigid foam.

Spray foam is also a more effective energy-efficient option than traditional fiberglass insulation. Compared to fiberglass, spray foam has a higher R-value per inch. R-value is the measure of how well a product resists heat flow in or out of a room. R-value is important for keeping a house warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Both open and closed-cell spray polyurethane foam are a good choice for insulation in a building. Both start as liquid chemicals and undergo a chemical reaction to create the foam insulation. Closed-cell foam starts as isocyanate and polyol blends that are purchased by professional contractors and then mixed together with a spray gun.

Eco-Friendly Benefits of Using Spray Foam Insulation

The foam is sprayed onto open cavities such as attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists in existing homes or into unfinished walls of new construction. It can also be sprayed into wall cavities in commercial buildings or pole barns.

When sprayed, the foam forms little pockets that provide barriers for air and heat, which helps to maintain the R-value of the wall. It is very durable and doesn’t sag or lose its shape over time. The foam is water-resistant and will not promote mold or mildew.

Batt insulation creates an air barrier, which blocks out pollen, pollutants and irritable dust—and helps your HVAC system to achieve a balanced temperature throughout your home. It also reduces noise penetration by up to 80%. The result is a quieter, healthier and more comfortable place for you and your family to live.

While DIY kits are available for homeowners, a professional spray foam insulation contractor has the tools and technology to ensure consistent coverage and proper expansion. This results in a better quality job that will increase the value of your home, as well as provide a more efficient and comfortable living environment.

Enhancing Comfort and Savings: The Power of TCS Spray Foam Insulation

Another benefit of spray foam insulation is that it stops unwanted moisture from getting into places like crawl spaces and basements where condensation can occur. This prevents the need for dehumidification and water removal, which has a direct effect on your energy consumption.

Unlike fiberglass batts, spray foam insulation is an extremely flexible material that fills gaps and cracks where other materials can’t. This allows it to be installed in tight corners, around vents, and other hard-to-reach areas. It can even strengthen the integrity of a wall, making it more resistant to damage and tearing.

Some spray foam insulation products have high GWPs, but many use HFO blowing agents (such as BASF Walltite CM01 and Genyk Boreal Nature). Closed-cell spray foam insulation is generally more expensive than open-cell insulation. However, choosing a low GWP insulation can help offset the initial cost through energy savings.
