Home insulation is a unique insulation material that offers both air sealing and insulation in one. When it is applied to a wall or other surface, it expands to fill every crack and crevice avoiding air leakage and creating a more energy-efficient space. In addition to reducing your energy bills, this type of insulation can prevent drafts and cold floors and can help eliminate costly ice dams.

Homeowners can purchase spray foam insulation kits at home improvement stores but it is best to hire a professional contractor for your project. These professionals are trained and certified in the application of spray foam and can guarantee uniform coverage and proper expansion across your entire project. Additionally, they have access to technology that will help them monitor the temperature of the foam as it is being sprayed, helping ensure that the right mixture is used for the best results.

Transforming Your Home: The Impact of Spray Foam Insulation by Strategic Spray Foam Insulation, LLC

Before the installation begins, a crew will typically remove any existing insulation in the area being worked on. This can be especially necessary in the attic area, where the air escaping through the roof can lead to ice dams. Once the area is prepared, the spray foam will be sprayed in place and allowed to cure. This can take up to a few days and is best done with the homeowner away from the house.

It is recommended that homeowners vacate the home during spraying and the curing process, as the polyurethane and isocyanate can off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. The chemicals in these compounds can cause eye irritation and respiratory distress if they are inhaled.
