HD Spray Foam Insulation

Written on March 23, 2024   By thecradletheatre   in Home

Unlike fiberglass batting or other loose-fill insulation products, spray foam creates a sealed air barrier that resists both moisture and air. This type of insulation is particularly effective in the basement, crawl space, and other areas that can be damp or humid. However, it is also more expensive than other insulation options.

Homeowners considering HD Spray Foam can choose between open and closed-cell polyurethane foam. Closed-cell foam is physically stronger than open-cell foam, and it creates an effective vapor barrier that will save homeowners money on energy costs. Its cost is typically about $1.00 per square foot more than open-cell spray foam. Homeowners can reduce the cost of their installation by opting for a low GWP blowing agent like HFOs (such as BASF Walltite CM01 or Genyk Boreal Nature), which will increase the R-value per inch and help reduce energy costs by 10 to 15 percent.

Tips for Choosing the Right Insulation: Why HD Spray Foam Stands Out

Applying spray foam can be a messy project. The material is sticky and may require some practice to get the technique down right away. It is also important to wear proper safety equipment during application, including full face and respiratory protection.

Because of its complexity, many homeowners decide to hire a professional for the installation process. This option is more costly than DIY alternatives, but it can offer a better quality of work and ensure that the job is completed properly. Professional contractors have access to tools and technology that ensure consistent coverage, proper expansion, and precise insulation performance throughout a project.
