When spray foam insulation is installed properly, it can offer long-term energy efficiency benefits and comfort. Professional installers typically use higher-quality materials and expert application techniques that improve air sealing and performance. They also often provide warranties that cover installation and performance. Investing in quality spray foam insulation requires significant time and effort to prepare the space and ensure proper application. The investment in professional installation typically pays for itself through energy savings within 3-5 years.

Stage 1: The Chemical Reaction Begins

In a spray nozzle, the liquid chemicals are heated to a specific temperature in order to create the chemical reaction that creates the spray foam. This process, called atomization, turns the chemicals into tiny uniform particles that can mix effectively. Once the chemicals combine, they are no longer in their raw form and pose no health risks. The spray foam is then applied to the building envelope in an extremely tight seal.

This helps to minimize heat flow in and out of a home, which reduces energy costs in winter and keeps homes cooler in summer. The spray foam also stops air infiltration, which can cause unwanted humidity and moisture.

The air barrier created by spray foam also reduces mold and mildew growth and airborne allergens such as dust, pollen, and pet dander. These benefits are particularly valuable for families with allergies or respiratory conditions.
