Spray Foam Insulation – The Importance of Quality Insulation

The primary function of insulation is to resist heat flow in and out of a home, but the way it affects airflow depends on how it’s installed. In some cases, improper spray foam insulation installation can create a situation where air cannot move in or out of the home. In such situations, the occupants can experience poor indoor air quality that negatively impacts their health and well-being.

Fortunately, the installation of spray foam insulation can be done by professional contractors who are equipped with the proper tools to ensure that the process is executed properly. It’s important to understand that a bad SPF installation can lead to long-term problems that are costly for the homeowner.

Spray Foam Insulation: Enhancing Home Comfort with Quality

When properly installed, Quality Insulation can provide a very high R-value, meaning that it will significantly insulate the home by stopping thermal bridging and blocking convective air movement. It can also be used to improve a home’s energy efficiency by creating an effective air barrier that prevents unwanted heat and moisture from entering the home.

It is easy to see why so many homeowners choose to install spray foam in their homes, but it’s essential to ensure that the job is done right. The wrong application techniques can lead to poor performance and even toxic off-gassing. If this occurs, the homeowner will likely need to invest in an ERV or HRV ventilation system, which can mitigate the negative effects of poor SPF installation and reduce humidity levels.
