Strategic Spray Foam Insulation, LLC foam insulation is both an insulator and air sealant that can reduce energy bills and improve indoor comfort by filling in gaps, nooks, and crannies where traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation cannot. Its tight seal prevents moisture from entering areas like attics and crawl spaces, where it can cause mold, mildew, and rot. It also stops hot and cold air from escaping, helping to keep homes more comfortable all year round.

Spray Foam is made from two components: The “A” side is a mix of polyols, catalysts, and blowing agent, and the “B” side is typically polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI) or polymethyl methacrylate. The two sides are combined in a spray applicator, which is used to inject the spray polyurethane into attics, wall cavities, and rim joists in new construction or in the rough-in stage of existing homes.

How to Prepare Your Home for Spray Foam Insulation Installation

Homeowners often choose to hire professionals to install spray foam because the process is quick, convenient, and affordable. During the installation, the crew will clean the area to be insulated before applying the spray. They will also inspect the work area to ensure that the application is uniform and complete, which can help homeowners avoid any costly surprises after the installation is finished.

Another advantage of spray foam is that it reduces airborne pollutants and allergens. Its tight seal prevents dust, dirt, pollen, and other particles from entering the house. In turn, this helps to maintain a cleaner indoor environment that makes it easier for HVAC filters to remain clean and clear.
