FOAM INSULATION

Foam insulation is a great option when stopping air infiltration is critical. Once applied, the foam expands to completely fill cracks, gaps and leaks. This product easily covers uneven spacing between floor joists, as well as around piping, wiring and duct work. It may also be recommended to insulate attics, walls, basements and crawlspaces.

Take a look at the graph on the right. It shows results from independent testing that exposed foam insulation to realistic wind and temperature differentials using real-world conditions. Results showed that open-cell and closed-cell foam insulation maintained its advertised R-value better than fiberglass and cellulose. There are locations in the home that can benefit from foam insulation and we will recommend it when it’s most appropriate. Due to the requirements of special equipment for foam application, this insulation should be applied by an insulation professional.
