Attic insulation  is widely used in new construction as well as home retrofits because it delivers energy efficiency and air sealing at a cost that’s often lower than traditional fiberglass batt insulation. It’s an excellent option for reducing drafts and keeping outside temperatures from causing hot and cold spots in your house, but it’s not without its drawbacks.

Incorrect information and misunderstandings about spray foam can lead to mistakes in the installation process. That’s why it is so important to have a professional install your insulation.

Innovative Comfort: The Power of Spray Foam Insulation in Modern Homes

The most common mistake is applying the insulation too soon. Whether you’re installing it during construction or renovating an existing structure, the best time to apply spray foam insulation is after the framing has been completed and before the drywall goes up. This allows the crew to get to the studs and fully insulate the walls, making for the most effective insulation.

Spray polyurethane foam creates tiny pockets of air that make it difficult for heat to pass through them. This makes it an effective insulator, and because the pockets are in every crack and crevice, they prevent moisture from entering the walls as well.

Depending on the type of spray foam insulation you choose, it can also reduce your home’s energy costs and carbon footprint. Some spray foam insulation is formulated using soybeans instead of petroleum, and that’s great news for the environment. Others use water as a blowing agent, which has a much lower global warming potential (GWP) rating than traditional spray foam.
