November 30, 2022
What are the benefits and drawbacks of spray foam insulation? We’ve put together a list that can help answer that question.
Benefits
- Easy to install with a quick-working and expert insulation installation crew.
- The foam will set within a few moments, and it ceases to emit off-gassing. It makes it an excellent insulation choice and an air-sealing treatment for each square inch you have in the office.
- Spray foam insulation can improve the resale value of your home. The savings in energy over time will more than make the difference in the initial installation cost. Spray foam insulation can cut down on energy bills by up to 50%, so you don’t have to be worried about paying your energy bills during the colder times.
- The insulation of spray foam is a synthetic material. It becomes complicated as it cures, meaning insects do not attract it the way traditional fiberglass insulation could.
Drawbacks
- While rodents don’t seem to be attracted by these foams, they get not intend to serve as a barrier against rodents.
- The foam installation process causes some off-gassing that requires ventilation as part of the curing process.
- Spray foam insulation can be priced slightly higher than traditional fiberglass insulation or other insulation types.
- Evidence suggests that termites and carpenter ants could cut through and establish the spray foam insulation. But, regular pest control and techniques to control pests effectively keep pests at bay from the beginning.
R-Values and Spray Foam Insulation
The R-value measures the extent of an insulation’s capacity to block heat transfer. Greater R-values are better at preventing heat transfer. Spray foam insulation is the highest R-value among all insulation.
