Advantages of Spray Foam InsulationAdvantages of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam is a premium insulation material that’s available in open and closed-cell varieties. It is sprayed from the tip of a gun into wall cavities or other spaces to create an air seal and add insulation value. It can be applied to attics, crawl spaces, rim joists and new construction.
Crawl space insulation to traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation and can save homeowners money on energy costs because it insulates much better and prevents air leakage. It’s also a green building product because it helps protect the earth from greenhouse gases and pollution.
Eco-Friendly Advantages of Using Spray Foam Insulation
The open-cell type of spray foam we use at Meritage Homes binds to the house’s frame, which makes it flexible after installation. This feature allows it to remain intact even if the house shifts over time and helps withstand moisture, wind and rain. It’s an excellent option for older homes that need a more comprehensive insulating solution.
Closed-cell spray foam is more expensive than open-cell but it provides superior thermal efficiency and air infiltration control. It can also increase the R-value per inch of the spray material, which boosts the insulating value of your home.
The high R-value and air sealing of spray foam make it more durable than fiberglass or cellulose insulation. It doesn’t compress or sag after application and can fill cracks and crevices for a tight, sealed air barrier that stops heat from escaping during winter nights and keeping the home cool in summer. It’s also very effective against noise transmission.
