The best type of insulation for your home depends on several factors such as the size of your space, your budget, and your insulation needs. Our team can help you determine the best insulation option for your home.

Spray foam insulation can last 80–100 years if applied correctly and with little to no maintenance. It's less likely to be affected by external factors than other types of insulation, and it doesn't sag, settle, or deteriorate like cellulose or fiberglass. However, mistakes during installation can shorten its lifespan. These include:

• Not applying the right thickness of foam
• Not removing old insulation before adding spray foam
• Not cleaning or allowing the substrate to dry before installation
• Spraying over old insulation
• Leaving gaps in the space being insulated

Yes, spray foam insulation can help reduce noise pollution and improve soundproofing in your home or business. Our open cell spray foam is proven to reduce outside noise when installed in walls and it dampens sound transfer bewteen basements, and main floors. 

* Between floor joists and ceilings

* In exterior walls to reduce outside noise

* In interior walls that divide rooms of a home

* In Party walls that divide apartments, duplexes and townhomes

* In metal buildings

The cost to install spray foam insulation ranges from $600 to $10,000, but the average cost for all residential projects falls around $5,500.

Spray foam insulation is popular for its long-lasting durability, but it’s also among the most expensive insulation types. Spray foam insulation costs are based on several factors like the spray foam material, the thickness required meet local codes, space, access, labor and special equioment required to complete the project.

It really depends on your priorities. If you see the benefit of insulating your new construction home correctly from the start for long-term comfort, energy savings month after month, and fewer headaches while you live in the house, then spray foam insulation may very well be worth the extra cost to you. 

 Absolutely. According to Future Market Insights, the spray foam insulation market is projected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2022 to 2032, making it a great time to start investing in a spray foam business. 

 In fact, when done correctly and professionally, spray foam insulation can actually increase the value of your home. This type of insulation adds value to any residential property by providing superior energy efficiency, durability, soundproofing capabilities, and more. 

Following proper installation and curing, today's spray foams do not outgas toxic chemicals.  All off-gassing fumes will have dissipated or been ventilated out of the home after curing. So, a few hours after spray foam insulation is installed, you should be able to return home. The SPF can help prevent unwanted infiltration of pollutants, allergens and moisture. Combined with proper mechanical ventilation, SPF can improve indoor air quality. Installers wear protective equipment mainly because of short-term chemical hazards during and within a few hours after application.

Cured SPF and the chemicals used to make SPF, are not flammable.

They are considered ‘combustible’, which like many common building materials,

including wood, means it requires a higher than normal temperature to ignite.

And in some cases spray foam can improve fire safety by blocking flame spread

inside frame walls.

True...which is good. SPF prevents the infiltration of unwanted moisture and exfiltration of conditioned air which, in turn, can reduce condensation that causes mold, mildew, poor indoor air quality, rot or corrosion of the home. A properly designed spray foam home will also include controlled ventilation to bring in small amounts of outside air to displace odors from normal homeowner activity while minimizing energy loss.
