Spray foam is a composite material made of two separate materials that chemically react to form an insulating layer. The spray gun applies the mixture to a surface and expands it to 30-60 times its liquid volume, filling cracks and crevices to create an airtight seal. The foam then hardens to its final state, forming an effective barrier that keeps out cold air and warm air alike.

The spray foam has a high R value, meaning it resists heat flow better than other insulation materials. It is also a green building product that reduces energy costs by eliminating air leakage in new and existing homes.

When sprayed in an attic, crawl space, or rim joist in an existing home, spray foam provides a more streamlined solution for insulation than traditional fiberglass and cellulose. It saves time and money as the job is done more quickly than traditional methods of insulating a house.

Innovation Unleashed: The Impact of Spray Foam on Home Comfort

The rigs that spray the foam are equipped with a high tech computerized system that ensures a consistent mix and the proper temperature for the foam every time. This is important as overexposure to isocyanates (the chemicals used in the A-side of the spray foam) can cause irritation to the eyes, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory tract. Overexposure can even lead to sensitization, a condition where repeated exposures can trigger an asthma attack.

Open cell spray foam contains less isocyanate than closed cell, which makes it safer to work with for longer periods of time. However, a professional is always the best option because they are trained to use the rigs properly and understand how to work with the chemicals safely.
