If you’re a homeowner considering improving your home’s insulation, it may be a good idea to consider spray foam insulation. It has a number of benefits that can help you save on energy bills and keep your home more comfortable all year round.
Essentially, spray foam is a two-part liquid insulation that’s sprayed onto walls, ceilings and other areas that need to be insulated. It’s sprayed as a mist and expands up to 100x its size when it hardens, insulating all the nooks and crannies in your home. Spray foam is delivered in eco-friendly drums that we happily give away to people once they’re empty.

The “A” side of a spray polyurethane system is typically made up of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate and polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, which are combined with “B” sides that vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. These include polyols, catalysts, blowing agents, flame retardants and surfactants.
It can be sprayed in open cavities such as new construction, rim joists, crawl spaces, attics and commercial buildings. It’s also possible to apply it around light fixtures, electrical outlets and doors. In these cases, the space needs to be prepped and cleaned before spraying.
Professional installers should always install spray foam insulation, and it’s important to vacate your home during the process because the product off-gases large quantities of volatile organic compounds. It takes 1-3 days for the off-gassing to finish. Once it’s done, you can return to your home.
