Attic insulation is a hot topic of conversation among building scientists, construction professionals, and even home owners. Some swear by it, while others think it’s helping to warm the planet and compromise our health.
Many homes lack proper insulation, which causes high energy bills. This is because the second law of thermodynamics states that heat flows from a warmer space to a colder one. If there is no barrier in place, this process takes place in the walls, windows and doors of houses that are not well insulated. With spray foam, this problem can be prevented by creating a seal with the product, which insulates and blocks a home’s air leakage.

The type of spray foam we use is closed-cell polyurethane, which has a high R-value and is water resistant. It also expands to fill hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. It is important to note that homeowners should vacate the house during the spraying and curing process, as it off-gasses a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Another advantage of this kind of insulation is that it doesn’t clump together like traditional wool or fiberglass. This makes it easier to fit in spaces that may be difficult for other materials to work in, such as basement rim joists, crawl spaces, overhangs (or cantilevers), and knee walls. Additionally, it is also more flexible than other forms of insulation, meaning it can be used in unusual places such as curved walls. This makes it a great choice for those looking to make their home as energy-efficient as possible.
