Why Choose Spray Foam?
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a spray-applied plastic that is widely used to insulate buildings and seal cracks and gaps, making the building more energy-efficient and comfortable. SPF insulation is known to resist heat transfer extremely well, and it offers a highly effective solution in reducing unwanted air infiltration through cracks, seams, and joints.
SPF BENEFITS
There are three primary types of SPF that can be used for insulation and other purposes:
HIGH-DENSITY
Often used for exterior and roofing applications
MEDIUM-DENSITY
Often used for continuous insulation, interior wall cavity fill, and unvented attic applications
LOW-DENSITY
Often used for interior wall cavity fill and unvented attic applications
Whether it is new construction, a renovation, or a retrofit job, spray foam can be a great investment in your home. Spray foam is a powerful insulation material with a high R-value and air barrier properties that give it the unique ability to fill the gaps and holes that could be difficult to seal. No other insulation product on the market can match the performance of spray foam without utilizing additional products or materials.
Spray foam can help to lower energy bills by reducing heat loss or gain, eliminating air leaks, and improving your home’s energy efficiency. A recent analysis showed that homes with spray foam can reduce energy usage up to 5,638 kWh per year compared to the same home insulated and air sealed with other insulation. This amounts to a greenhouse gas reduction of 1,556 kg of CO2 per year or a 33% reduction in the annual emissions of a car.
Spray foam insulation and air barriers can reduce the carbon footprint from your home’s energy usage, which can help fight climate change. Even better, spray foam houses are energy-efficient and resilient.
Spray Foam can:
- Improve the comfort of your home
- Increase the energy efficiency of the home
- Reduce your energy bills
- Make your home stronger and more resilient

Spray Foam products are extremely versatile. Manufacturers have optimized products to maximize performance in different areas of a home or building. Spray foam products can create an effective air barrier, form a continuous insulation system, and provide a barrier to moisture in the building envelope. Insulating and sealing your home with spray foam will limit drafts where it is applied and keep your home at a consistent temperature all year long – making your home more comfortable. With spray foam, builders can lower construction costs, meet or exceed today’s stringent building code requirements, and provide customers with the benefits of spray foam.
