About Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation is foam sprayed into wall cavaties to insulate walls, ceilings and everywhere else one would expect insulation. As a result, it helps to keep the heat inside during the cold months and the hot air outside in the warm months. While regular fiberglass insulation can be easily installed by the homeowner, spray foam insulation isn't a do-it-yourself project. A professional like BHI will need to install it.

Pros & Cons of Spray Foam Insulation

Like any insulation, there are pros and cons to spray foam insulation. Because it needs to be professionally installed, spray foam insulation is more expensive than fiberglass insulation. The process can be messy, as you will see overspray in some areas. Although, if the proper steps are taken to prepare for the insulation job, such as using plastic covers, taping off areas, etc., the process is a lot cleaner. If too much insulation is sprayed, the walls can buckle as the foam expands. That is why it is important to hire a professional, like BHI, that specializes in this type of insulation, because we know just how much to apply.

Cost and cleanliness aside, there are clear benefits to using spray foam insulation. Because it's a spray and not a long piece of fiberglass, spray foam insulation gets into all of the tiny nooks and crannies, providing better insulation. Drafts are filled and the house is warmer in the winter and no cold air can escape in the summer. It lasts longer. It sticks to the walls and won't fall off like fiberglass. An extra bonus is that it doesn't cause itching when touched. Unlike fiberglass, spray foam insulation inhibits mold because it doesn't absorb water. In light of these facts, the homeowner with spray foam insulation can expect to lower energy consumption up to 50%.

Spray Foam Insulation is the Winner!

While it's more expensive to install spray foam insulation than fiberglass, it pays for itself with the money saved on utility and repair bills. When it comes to deciding which insulation is best for the home or office, spray foam insulation is the winner hands-down!
