Spray Foam Insulation
Home insulation plays a vital role in your comfort, and reducing energy costs. Attic insulation can help keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, while helping your heating and cooling systems work more efficiently.
The key to spray foam insulation is the air barrier it creates, insulating your home and blocking outside moisture, wind and dirt from entering. A spray foam contractor can install spray insulation in walls, ceilings, attics, and crevices to increase the R-value of your home. The spray foam insulation also bonds to the studs and other structures in your house making it a long-lasting product.

Closed-cell and open-cell spray foam insulation both insulate your home well, but each type of insulation has unique characteristics that may make it better for certain applications. Closed-cell spray foam is made of 2 composite materials, polyurethane and isocyanate, which chemically react to expand and form the protective barrier in your home.
During the spraying and curing process, spray foam insulation off-gases a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These chemicals are powerful irritants that can cause itchy eyes and respiratory issues for those who have allergies or asthma. New spray foam insulation technologies use less harmful blowing agents, such as Solstice, which has a global warming potential (GWP) of just one (similar to carbon dioxide). Another green option is Gaco’s HandiFoam High Density spray foam, which uses HFO blowing agent, which drastically reduces the GWP of the product.
