316 Insulation alternative that is applied to the surfaces of walls, ceilings and roofs. It is comprised of a two-component mixture—isocyanate and polyol resin—that comes together at the tip of a special spray gun. The resulting material expands on contact to fill gaps, cracks and crevices. It also creates an airtight seal and protects against moisture, rodents and insects.

In addition to providing a comfortable living environment, spray foam helps lower energy costs. Unlike fiberglass, which degrades over time, spray insulation is durable and long-lasting. It’s also a safe option for those with allergies, as it blocks mold, dust mites and other allergens.

The Installation Process of Spray Foam Insulation

Homeowners can choose between open and closed-cell spray foam. Open-cell foam has small bubbles (or cells) that aren’t completely encapsulated, which makes it a softer and more flexible material. Closed-cell foam is denser and repels moisture or vapor, making it the preferred option for foundations and anywhere in your house where a vapor barrier is needed.

Both types of spray foam are applied to surfaces as a liquid, which then expands and foams. This allows it to fit into hard-to-reach spots, as well as complex structures like domed ceilings. It is also much more flexible than other insulation materials, allowing it to conform to your structure’s unique design.

It’s important to note that spray insulation should be installed by a trained contractor. It requires specialized safety gear, such as gloves, goggles and breathing apparatuses, to ensure the application of the foam is as clean and safe as possible.
