Blown-in Insulation is sprayed on using a hose and then expands to fill the space it covers. It forms an effective barrier and is ideal for areas where you need a tight seal. The foam will continue to expand even after it dries and hardens, filling every nook and cranny for full coverage. It is also an excellent choice for walls and roof decks.
The main job of any insulation is to resist conduction and convection heat transfer, which keeps your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Spray foam has a higher R-Value than fiberglass or cellulose and it can also serve as an air barrier, keeping unwanted pollutants from entering your home.

In addition to preventing toxins from escaping, spray foam also helps your heating and cooling system work more efficiently. With the proper installation, your energy bills will go down and you’ll have a healthier indoor environment.
If your home has existing fiberglass or cellulose insulation, you can install spray foam over it without removing any of the materials. However, it is important to prepare the area before applying spray foam. The surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, and debris.
Improper spray foam installation can lead to mold growth and other health issues. Those problems are not only difficult to find, but can also be expensive to repair. It can take years for moisture or mold spores to develop inside a home that has been improperly insulated, and once they do, it can be very costly to remediate them.
