Spray foam insulation is the most popular insulation choice among new homeowners for a multitude of reasons
- Quick and easy to install
- The foam expands and hardens in place, so all the gaps are thoroughly filled
- Spray foam has high R-values
- The greater the R-value, the more energy and cost-saving the insulation is
- Once the cavities are filled it creates an impenetrable air barrier
- Different density foams have different particular qualities, but they all add to the strength of the structure
- Spray foam provides sound dampening qualities
- The foam itself does not compress or shrink after hardening so you never have to replace or repair it
- Insulating your entire house will save on up to 50 percent of the energy costs of the house in the long term
- Improved quality of air since toxicants are blocked out
With new construction, you should focus on hotspots or problem zones. Like garages, gaps between walls, crawl spaces, roofs, and attics. These are areas where outside air enters the house bringing with it insects, moisture, and other toxicants. Insulating these spots mean restricting the flow of air. This improves the quality of air inside the house, helps moderate internal temperature, and keeps out humidity.
