When you need insulation for your property, there are many options available, including batt, foam, spray foam, loose-fill, etc. It’s important to understand the different details, advantages, and disadvantages of each to make an informed decision for your property. Here is some information on how spray foam insulation works.
- A polyurethane foam: Spray foam insulation is a polyurethane foam that is made of iso-cyanates and polyols that can be sprayed into small spaces, cracks, and crevices around your property to allow for sufficient insulation and minimal air loss.
- A chemical reaction: When the materials in the spray foam come in contact with air, they mix together and create a chemical reaction. This chemical reaction causes the spray foam insulation to expand and harden.
- An airtight space: Because the spray foam insulation expands once installed, it can effectively fill in even the smallest spaces, cracks, and crevices and create airtight seals. This also makes it one of the more effective options for insulation when you have tight spaces or cracks and crevices in the roof, attic, walls, or other areas that might need insulation around the home.
