Homeowners who are looking to improve their energy efficiency often turn to spray foam insulation to make their homes more comfortable and affordable. This type of insulation is sprayed onto the walls, ceilings, and floors to create a custom airtight envelope. This helps reduce the amount of heat that escapes from a building and reduces the costs of running the heating and cooling systems.

The insulation consists of pockets of polyurethane foam that expand as it’s sprayed. This gives it the ability to fill in spaces that fiberglass batts or rigid foam cannot. The installers point the spray gun into tight spaces and press the trigger to release the foam. The airtight seal created by the foam prevents conductive and convective heat transfer, keeping warm indoor air inside during the winter and cool outdoor air outside in the summer.

Spray Foam vs. Traditional Insulation: Which Is Right for You

Unlike fiberglass, Keystone Premier Spray Foam Insulation doesn’t lose R-value over time. The open-cell spray foam provides 3.5 R-value per inch, and the closed-cell foam can reach up to 7. Spray foam is also an air barrier, closing the nooks and crannies that let hot or cold air escape and increase monthly utility bills.

One thing that should be kept in mind is the chemicals used to produce spray foam. Isocyanates and polyurethane are irritants that can affect the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. These chemicals should be avoided during installation, and a professional should always be on-site to ensure the spraying process is done properly.
