Spray foam insulation has long been the product of choice for home builders and do-it-yourselfers looking to save money on energy bills. It’s a high-quality product that can be used in walls, attics, crawl spaces and rim joists. It seals the nooks and crannies that can allow air to escape, lowering heating and cooling costs dramatically over time. It also stops moisture from entering a structure, which can cause mold and mildew.
While spray foam attic insulation has a higher initial cost than other types of insulation, it lasts much longer and provides more energy savings. Spray foam insulation can reduce heating and cooling expenses by as much as 50% in many homes, saving thousands of dollars over the lifetime of a house or building.

The insulating materials that make up spray foam insulation are a combination of polyurethane, which is composed of two resins fused together, and blowing agents. In recent years, however, these chemicals have become more environmentally friendly with advancements being made in the production of blowing agents that are less toxic.
While DIY spray foam kits are available, it’s recommended to hire a professional for projects that require precise insulation performance or that are large in size. Pros are licensed and insured, and can provide a full range of services from attic insulation to crawl space encapsulation. Additionally, professionals can help occupants vacate the property during application and curing. This is because the application and curing of spray foam insulation can off-gas volatile organic compounds that can irritate the nose, eyes and throat.
