Keeping a home comfortable and energy-efficient requires high-quality insulation, and spray foam insulation is a powerful and versatile choice. It’s sprayed on and expands into every nook and cranny, making it ideal for hard-to-reach areas like wall cavities and attic spaces. It is also a good choice for filling gaps around plumbing and electrical wiring. It is available in two options: open- and closed-cell.

Closed-cell spray foam is more rigid and firm than open-cell insulation, but both types work well to reduce air leakage in homes, commercial structures and buildings. Air leakage is one of the major reasons that homes and businesses use so much energy, costing them far more than necessary. Spray foam insulation can seal those leaks and provide an effective air barrier that dramatically cuts heating and cooling costs.

The Benefits of Choosing 316 Insulation of Seattle for Spray Foam

The spray-on application makes it easier and faster to install than traditional batt insulation, saving labor costs and ensuring that every area is covered. However, care must be taken to ensure an adequate mix of the two chemical components that create the foam (along with other preparation steps). This product dries very fast, and if an installer doesn’t take their time, they may miss entire areas. It’s best to hire a professional contractor who is experienced with using this product in residential and commercial settings.

In addition to reducing energy costs, spray foam insulation is also effective in stopping moisture penetration into places like attics and crawl spaces. This protects those areas from becoming damp, humid environments that can harbor mildew and mold.
