spray foam insulation is a two-part liquid that quickly expands to 30-60 times its original volume when it’s sprayed in place. It fills in gaps, nooks and crannies to provide superior coverage over fiberglass batt insulation. The result is a more energy-efficient building with lower heating and cooling bills.
Understanding How Spray Foam Insulation Works
It also provides a tight air seal, which is important since up to 40% of a home’s energy loss occurs through cracks beneath the sill plate and around wall outlets, windows and ducts. Spray foam insulation may eliminate this problem (new construction) or significantly reduce it (retrofitted homes).

ct. Open-cell spray foam insulation consists of small cells that aren’t fully encapsulated, which allows it to be a bit more flexible than closed cell. Both types of spray foam insulation are a good choice for new construction or retrofit projects.
In addition to helping to meet code requirements, spray foam insulation will help keep your home or commercial building comfortable throughout the year. It will also protect the integrity of your building envelope, preventing it from shifting over time.
With proper installation, a spray foam insulation system will last as long as your building does. In fact, it may even outlast the building itself.
