ABOUT
Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam is the most efficient form of insulation. When properly installed, it fully seals the building envelope, boosting the structure’s overall energy performance. Spray foam also blocks air and moisture infiltration, reduces sound transmission, and can deter pests. It’s suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial uses and adheres to a wide range of construction materials, including wood, steel, masonry, and concrete. Polyurethane spray foam has a high thermal resistance—typically about R-7 to R-8 per inch—so it delivers greater insulation value with less thickness than other materials. By contrast, standard fiberglass insulation offers roughly R-2 per inch.

Spray Foam Insulation Options

Once you've chosen spray foam for improved energy efficiency, the next decision is whether to use open-cell or closed-cell spray foam. Although both are applied the same way and provide excellent air sealing, they differ significantly in cell structure. Closed-cell spray foam is dense and rigid—similar to a spray-on truck bed liner—while open-cell foam is lighter and more sponge-like.

Insulate attics, walls, and crawlspaces to maximize energy savings

 

Spray foam can be applied to walls, ceilings, floors, crawlspaces and attics to cut energy waste and lower heating and cooling expenses. As an effective air‑barrier insulation, spray foam helps create a healthier, quieter and more energy‑efficient living environment for your household. Our certified installers make sure the foam is applied correctly, using a top-quality brand and professional installation practices.

Where spray foam is used

Spray foam works in both new construction and existing buildings, including homes, shops and nonstandard designs. It bonds to wood and steel framing and performs well in any climate. Because the material expands after application, it seals small gaps and voids—an important advantage for older houses that settle over time and develop sources of air leakage and heat loss.

Key benefits:

  • Improved HVAC efficiency

  • Lower heating and cooling bills

  • Greater indoor comfort

  • Effective sound reduction

  • Protection against ice dams

  • Cleaner indoor air

  • Longer service life

  • Increased resale value

Consider spray foam when you want a durable, versatile insulation solution that reduces energy loss and improves overall home performance.

Spray Foam Insulation Options

    Open Cell Spray Foam Insulation

    Open-cell spray foam insulation consists of partially open cells that allow air to occupy the internal spaces. It expands to seal cracks and adapt to uneven surfaces, creating an effective thermal and air barrier. Valued for its noise-reducing properties, this insulation helps boost energy efficiency and enhance indoor comfort in buildings.

  • Photograph of Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation

    Closed Cell Spray Foam Insulation

    Closed-cell spray foam is a dense, rigid insulation composed of tightly packed cells that form a strong barrier against air and water intrusion. It provides high thermal resistance, enhancing energy efficiency and indoor comfort. Its resistance to moisture makes it appropriate for use in damp or humid environments.

 Spray Foam Insulation Advantages

Improved Comfort

Because spray foam insulation seals the building envelope, your home has virtually no drafts.

It Lasts

Traditional insulation can lose its effectiveness over time - spray foam performs the same for decades

Improved Indoor Air Quality

Aside from improved comfort from spray foam insulation’s air sealing properties, it also reduces allergen infiltration.

Strengthens the structure

Spray foam essentially glues the structure together, adding strength to the property’s overall structure.

Environmentally Friendly

By allowing you to improve your home’s energy efficiency, spray foam reduces your carbon footprint.

Reduces Sound

Particularly Open Cell spray foam - it does a great job absorbing sound waves providing a quieter home.
