Should You Use Foam Insulation?

The biggest waste of energy for your home is the power it takes to keep your home warm during winter and cold during the summer. Energy can be wasted in many different ways. But the most significant way you can overspend on utilities is not insulating your home correctly. When cold or warm air can escape your home through the walls of your building, it will take more energy to keep your home at an ideal temperature. That is why investing in the right insulation product for your property is important. One option is spray foam insulation. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of spray foam insulation. 

What Types Of Insulation Are There?

There are four main types of insulation that you can use for your home or other property. Fiberglass (the most commonly used), cellulose, spray foam, and mineral insulation are the most common materials used for insulation. That said, even in those four broad categories, there are different types. So it is essential to understand the pros and cons of each type, including cost, lifetime, and unique properties. If you need help picking insulation for your property, we recommend discussing it with a contractor. Different insulation types are sometimes more popular based on your local climate. What works for a home in Florida might not be recommended for a home in New England. 

What Is Spray Foam Insulation?

Spray foam insulation is often used in conjunction with other forms of insulation. Spray form can plug up cracks and crevices around your property. Spray foam is used on buildings during construction/remodeling and on existing buildings. If there is a noticeable air leak around your property near the doors, windows, outlets, or other areas, you can use spray foam to remove the air leak.
