Spray Foam Insulation Improves Air Quality in Your Home

In addition to its energy-saving benefits, spray foam insulation can improve the air quality in your home. It does so by sealing the gaps and crevices in your building’s structure. This reduces air movement and prevents moisture intrusion. It also stops unwanted pests, including rodents, from entering your living space.

Attic insulation can be installed during new construction and retrofit projects, as well as in metal buildings such as pole barns. It is applied as a liquid and expands on-site to seal all areas in the walls, attic, and crawl spaces of your home. It is ideal for hard-to-reach nooks and crannies and provides design flexibility. It is an environmentally friendly product, as it does not contain any harmful chemicals such as urea or formaldehyde.

Top Reasons to Choose Spray Foam Insulation for Your Property

When choosing a spray foam, be sure to ask what the R-value is. The higher the R-value, the more effective the insulator. A professional installer is recommended, as proper installation is key to achieving maximum thermal performance and a high energy savings.

When choosing a spray foam, it is best to use one that is low in Global Warming Potential (GWP). BASF Walltite CM01 and Genyk Boreal Nature are examples of such products. Both are closed-cell and offer R-values of up to 6.5 per inch, while using HFO blowing agents instead of HFCs. This reduces the GWP by over 99.9 percent compared to other foams that still use HFCs. This reduces the amount of VOCs emitted during both spraying and curing and allows for quicker re-occupancy.
