Unlike fiberglass Batt insulation , spray foam is highly effective in all spaces – attics, basements, walls and roofs. Closed-cell foam acts as both insulation and air sealing, closing nooks and crannies that create energy loss and increase monthly utility bills. It also adds structural strength to walls and roofs.

Spray foam is also environmentally friendly. Unlike fiberglass, which can trap moisture within the walls of your home, spray foam is moisture resistant, and this helps prevent mildew, mold, and rot, while reducing the amount of water that can access the structure of your house or commercial building.
In addition, the spray foam used to insulate buildings can be produced with blowing agents that have a lower global warming potential (GWP) than HFCs used in other insulation products. This is a significant step in the transition to greener buildings.
Another benefit of spray foam is that it keeps conditioned air trapped in your home, so your heater and AC will not need to work as hard to keep your dwelling comfortable. This leads to a reduction in your energy consumption, and those reduced electricity costs will quickly add up in savings.
When installing spray polyurethane foam, or any insulation, it is recommended that you hire a professional contractor, such as TCS Insulation & Coatings. Do-it-yourself kits are available, but these will not provide the precision and control that a professional installation requires. It is also important that the installer knows how to properly install spray foam insulation, and is familiar with all health and safety considerations that are associated with this type of construction work.
