spray foam insulation is an environmentally friendly, non-toxic product when it has cured. It can be dangerous, however, when it is not sprayed properly or installed correctly. If the spray is not applied in a controlled, indoor environment, it can cause off-gassing of dangerous chemicals that may lead to respiratory issues and eye irritation. This is why spray insulation should be installed by professionals.
How Spray Foam Insulation Helps with Moisture Control
Spray Foam Insulation
There are two primary types of spray insulation: open and closed cell. Open cell spray insulation is made up of cells that aren’t completely encapsulated, so it’s a more softer and flexible material. Closed cell spray insulation, on the other hand, is made up of cells that are completely encapsulated and pressed together, so air and moisture are unable to get inside of the foam. Closed cell insulation has a high R-value, meaning that it offers a very high level of energy efficiency.
Quality insulation helps a home conserve energy, making it warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Poor insulation, on the other hand, wastes a home’s heating and cooling, forcing systems to work harder and consume more energy. This is a significant reason why many homeowners choose to upgrade their existing home’s insulation. Installing high-quality insulation can also increase a home’s resale value, as potential buyers understand the benefits of a well-insulated home.
