If your heating and cooling bills are out of control or if your house is hard to keep comfortable, spray foam insulation could be the answer for you. When two materials—isocyanate and polyol resin—are combined, a chemical reaction occurs and creates a foam that expands up to 60 times its original volume. After it's sprayed onto a surface, it hardens in place and makes a terrific insulator. Below are some of the key advantages of using this type of insulation for your home.

3 Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

1. Keeps Your Home Comfortable

The countless air pockets contained in the expanded foam prevent heat transfer and make it significantly easier to keep your home the desired temperature. It keeps the hot, moist air outside during summer and the warm air indoor during the colder months. Because the foam expands to fill all cracks and crevices, it prevents drafts and helps your family stay comfortable, all year long.

2. Reduces HVAC Costs

Your heating and cooling system is the largest energy consumer in your home. Poor household insulation results in wasted resources and higher energy costs. Spray foam insulation reduces waste, lowers the need for HVAC usage, and ultimately saves you money on utility costs. You use less electricity for A/C in summer and less natural gas or propane in winter.

3. Dampens Noise

One of the benefits of spray foam insulation that many people don't expect is the way it dampens street noise. Just as the countless air pockets block heat transfer, they also block sound. You'll no longer be shocked awake by the groaning and clanking of garbage trucks or the howl of your neighbor's leaf blower. Say goodbye to the thumping bass from passing motorists' car stereos. You'll enjoy peace and quiet in addition to more comfortable indoor air temperatures.
