Where can spray foam insulation be used?
Spray foam can be applied anywhere conventional insulation goes — and then some. It's commonly used in new construction homes, garages, pole buildings, crawl spaces, and commercial buildings. Unlike older insulation methods that allowed homes to "breathe" (and let allergens, pollutants, and energy escape with them), spray foam creates a tight building envelope that keeps conditioned air in and outside air out. The result is better air quality, greater comfort, and lower utility bills.
Does spray foam insulation actually work?
Yes — and the numbers back it up. In a home insulated with conventional materials and a vented attic, an outside temperature of 90°F can push attic temperatures to around 145°F. A spray foam insulated home with an unvented attic keeps that same space closer to 81°F. That's a 64-degree difference that directly impacts how hard your HVAC system has to work. Spray foam delivers real, measurable energy savings over the life of your home.
Can spray foam be used on basement walls?
Absolutely. Spray foam is an excellent choice for below-grade foundations and exposed basement walls. It functions as both a thermal barrier and a moisture barrier — replacing the need for tar applications in many cases. When properly installed, spray foam doesn't shrink or sag, so you get continuous protection that lasts the lifetime of the structure.
How long does spray foam insulation last?
Spray foam insulation is designed to last the lifetime of your home. Unlike fiberglass batts that can sag, shift, or absorb moisture over time, spray foam bonds directly to surfaces and maintains its shape and performance for decades with no maintenance required.
Is spray foam insulation worth the cost?
For most homeowners, yes. The upfront cost is higher than traditional insulation, but spray foam's superior air sealing dramatically reduces heating and cooling costs year-round. Many of our customers see meaningful reductions in their energy bills within the first year. Combined with its durability and moisture resistance, spray foam typically pays for itself over time.
