Spray foam insulation is an insulator that creates an air and vapor barrier, sealing gaps, cracks and voids in walls and roofs to prevent energy loss. It is an efficient and cost-effective alternative to fiberglass batt insulation but requires professional installation and proper safety precautions due to off-gassing chemicals and fumes.
Closed-cell polyurethane spray foam has many benefits, including a high R-value and resistance to moisture and pests. It’s also durable and strong enough to add structural support to walls and roofs, and it expands into hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. You can install closed-cell spray foam with a DIY kit, but achieving consistent coverage and proper expansion can be challenging without prior experience.
Eco-Friendly Insulation Solutions: HD Spray Foam’s Approach
Open-cell polyurethane spray foam is less expensive than closed-cell foam, and it can adhere to any substrate. It isn’t as stiff as closed-cell foam and doesn’t require a vapor barrier, but it can be applied to surfaces that need a little extra protection or durability.
Most spray foam insulation contains blowing agents with a high global warming potential (GWP). But some spray foams now use lower-GWP alternatives that can help avoid 0.1degC of climate change by 2050.
