Spray foam insulation is like a shield for your home, locking in comfort while slashing energy bills. It can fill spaces that traditional batts and rigid foam cannot, creating an airtight seal to protect against drafts and energy loss. This makes it easy to stay comfortable year-round, without worrying about skyrocketing utility bills.
Spray foam doesn’t just prevent heat loss, it can also stop moisture infiltration. This helps to keep crawl spaces and attics dry, reducing the risk of mildew and mold. It can even prevent water from leaking into walls, preventing costly damage.

When spray foam insulation gets wet, it remains a viable and effective insulator, unlike fiberglass which must be replaced as soon as it becomes wet. The material pushes itself into the tiniest cracks and crevices, preventing water from seeping into your building envelope, and protecting it against rot and other issues.
The foam also prevents air leakage and infiltration, which can cause buildings to lose up to 40% of their energy. This is a result of gaps and cracks in the building, as well as an overtaxed HVAC system working hard to compensate for these losses. Spray foam can prevent up to 40% of this wasted energy, which saves both money and carbon emissions.
Homeowners can choose between open and closed cell spray foam insulation, which has different R-values per inch. Closed-cell spray foam is more expensive than open-cell, but it’s physically stronger and creates a vapor barrier. This helps to reduce the need for a separate vapor barrier, which can add cost and complexity to a project.
