Traditional batting insulation has to be cut to size to fit into spaces. However, it can leave gaps behind that foam insulation simply doesn't. According to our team, some foam insulation can expand to 100 times its size to provide tight-fitting insulation that gets into every nook and cranny.

There are no gaps left behind with foam insulations. That means there are no areas that are left unprotected. You get better insulation coverage, which means better energy efficiency.

The R-value of a substance is a measurement used to determine its capacity to prevent heat exchange. According to our experts, foam insulations offer a higher R-value than traditional fiberglass or batting insulation. In fact, the substance provides the highest R-value per inch.

In this case, a higher R-value equates to more energy savings. Given that foam insulation has the highest R-value, it provides the highest level of energy efficiency.

Not only does foam insulation prevent heat exchange but it is also an exceptional moisture barrier and air sealant. According to the Water Damage Advisory, about 45 million homes are not properly protected from mold because they don't have proper insulation. Spray foam has wicking properties which keep moisture out of your home.

Keeping moisture out of your house also makes it more energy efficient and protected from the threat of mold and mildew. Spray foam can keep humidity out in the summer and dampness out in the winter to make your home feel more comfortable. It can also be used during new home construction and to retrofit older homes. It is an ideal solution for any homeowner that wants to improve energy efficiency and keep costs down.
