When it comes to insulating your home or commercial building, you have a lot of options. While fiberglass and cellulose are the more traditional insulation materials, spray foam insulation is growing in popularity among residential and commercial property owners alike. Spray foam is both a highly effective and cost-effective solution for homes and buildings. However, there are some things you should know before you commit to this type of insulation.
What Is Spray Foam Insulation Made of?
Advanced Seal Spray Foam Insulation is a type of polyurethane foam that’s created through a chemical reaction between two liquid chemicals. These chemicals are known as the A-side and B-side and create a plastic foam when they’re combined.
The foam expands upon application, filling in the nooks and crannies that would normally go uninsulated. This makes it an ideal solution for insulating roof decks, walls, crawl spaces, box sills, and basements. It also provides an air barrier that restricts the transfer of heat and sound between rooms, making it useful for homes and commercial buildings.
One of the biggest benefits of spray foam is its ability to reduce your energy costs. By sealing the nooks and crannies in your home, it’s much harder for hot or cold air to escape, which saves on your heating and cooling bills.
Another important benefit of spray foam is its resistance to moisture and mold spores. Because of this, it’s a good choice for attics and other areas where moisture is likely to accumulate, such as around light fixtures or electrical outlets.
