Spray Foam Air Sealing

About Spray Foam Air Sealing
For homeowners and builders alike, foam insulation is the game-changer in the energy efficiency world. Unlike fiberglass and cellulose insulation which only provide thermal resistance, closed cell spray foam also acts as an air barrier, sealing gaps and cracks to prevent air infiltration. This not only cuts energy costs but also eliminates drafts, improves indoor comfort and reduces the entry of outdoor pollutants, allergens and moisture.

Insulate It Solutions foam is a great choice for new construction projects. The foam expands to fill the nooks and crannies of the attic, crawl space or rim joist to create an airtight building envelope. This greatly reduces energy leakage, which cuts home and commercial energy bills and may help keep your house warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

However, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution when you need to create an air seal in existing homes and buildings. Spray foam is a much better option because it can be installed in a wide variety of locations and situations where traditional insulation or other materials cannot. Injection foam can be used to replace old insulation in the attic, crawl space and rim joist as well as be used in walls and other locations without removing the drywall.

Spray Foam Air Sealing: How It Improves Efficiency and Comfort

To improve your home’s efficiency and to reduce high energy bills, you need a comprehensive approach that includes air sealing and proper insulation. Upgrading your attic and insulating your walls with injection foam are the best way to create an effective air seal but other measures can be taken as well, including caulking around your pipes, replacing single-pane windows with more efficient double-pane low-emissivity windows, covering your fireplace flue when not in use and ensuring that your dryer vent isn’t blocked or covered with debris.
