I needed a complete overhaul and wasn’t sure where to begin. After interviewing several contractors, I realized right away that Bobby White of Loughlin & Son was the best choice: he is skilled, trustworthy, and spent so much time explaining every detail. –  Jeff B

Why You Should Consider Spray Foam

The right insulation is an effective solution for too hot or cold rooms – and expensive utility bills. Spray foam outperforms traditional insulation materials, such as fiberglass and cellulose, because it insulates and air seals at the same time. By minimizing air leaks and reducing moisture and mold issues, spray foam can improve the comfort of your home and save you money on heating and cooling costs. Our spray foam installers are ready to provide these benefits to every part of your home. Call us today to schedule a free insulation audit and recommendation.

What is Spray Foam Insulation?

Spray foam insulation is a type of insulation that is applied as a liquid and expands into a foam when it reacts with air. It’s typically made from a mixture of isocyanates and polyols that form a polyurethane foam. The foam expands rapidly, filling all gaps, cracks, and cavities, creating a seamless air barrier that traditional materials just can’t match.

Spray foam insulation comes in two main types:

Open-Cell Spray Foam

This type has a spongy texture and is less dense, making it ideal for use in interior spaces like walls and ceilings. It’s also less expensive than closed-cell foam.

Closed-Cell Spray Foam

This type is denser, more rigid, and provides superior insulation and moisture resistance. It’s commonly used for exterior applications, such as in attics, basements, and crawl spaces.

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation – More Than Just Warmth

Spray foam insulation is a highly effective option for both new builds and older homes needing an upgrade. Its benefits include:

  • Energy Efficiency: Spray foam insulation provides excellent thermal resistance, helping to keep homes cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This can lead to lower energy bills and improved overall energy efficiency for your home.
  • Air Sealant: Unlike traditional insulation materials, spray foam expands upon application, filling gaps and cracks. This creates an effective air barrier that prevents drafts and moisture ingress, further enhancing energy savings and comfort.
  • Moisture Control: Spray foam can help reduce the risk of moisture buildup in the home, which can lead to mold and mildew issues. Its closed-cell variety is particularly effective at blocking moisture.
  • Sound Dampening: Spray foam insulation helps reduce noise transfer, making your home quieter by dampening sound from outside and between rooms.
  • Pest Resistance: The dense structure of spray foam can deter pests such as rodents and insects from entering the attic space, providing an additional layer of protection.
  • Long-Term Durability: Spray foam insulation is resistant to settling and sagging over time, which means it maintains its effectiveness for many years without needing replacement or adjustment.
  • Environmental Impact: Many spray foam products are made from sustainable materials and provide long-lasting thermal performance, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint over time.
  • Increased Property Value: Better insulation can lead to improved energy efficiency ratings, which boosts the overall value of your property.
