Spray foam insulation comes with a long list of benefits
There are many different materials used to insulate the walls and roofing of a structure. Examples include batt, loose-fill, and foam insulation. Each has its own list of pros and cons, but one option that typically outperforms the others is spray foam insulation. At Masterseal Insulation, we offer this insulation material to those located in and around Newmarket, Ontario. We take pride in the work we do, and we’re always available to answer questions or provide insights about what will benefit your structure.
Spray foam insulation can create an airtight seal, which is one of the things that sets it apart from other materials. It can also be installed after the construction of a building is completed, making it a good option for older structures that may lack modern insulation. Plus, spray foam insulation comes with a long list of benefits. It is highly effective at reducing air loss, a process that occurs when small gaps and cracks remain in exterior walls. Your indoor temperature will stay more comfortable, and you don’t have to worry as much about moisture issues. Another advantage is that spray foam insulation can reduce the noise level between walls and floors.
Our insulation specialists can provide you with all of these benefits and more simply by adding spray foam insulation to your structure. If you notice that your energy bills are rising, there are drafty areas in your structure, or it’s tough to maintain a comfortable indoor atmosphere, give us a call to schedule a consultation. We’ll take a closer look and determine whether spray foam insulation is the right option for your needs.

What is the R-value of spray foam insulation?
It’s important for insulation to have a high R-value, which measures how well a material resists heat flow. The R-value of spray foam insulation varies depending on whether it is open-cell or closed-cell insulation. Open-cell spray foam insulation typically has an R-value of R-3.6 to R-3.9 per inch, while closed-cell spray foam insulation is closer to R-5 to R-7 per inch. In other words, closed-cell insulation is the more energy-efficient option of the two.
What is spray foam insulation actually made of?
Spray foam insulation is made from iso-cyanates and polyols, which combine to create polyurethane foam through chemical processes. When the two composite materials chemically react, they expand and harden, allowing spray foam insulation to fill small cracks and crevices. This is what creates the airtight seal spray foam insulation is known for.
Is spray foam insulation more expensive than other alternatives?
Spray foam insulation may have a higher upfront cost compared to other alternatives, but its superior energy efficiency and long-term cost savings make it a worthwhile investment. If you can accept the high initial cost, you will benefit in the long run.
