There are many benefits of blown-in insulation. For one, it can be used in spaces that other types of insulation are limited to, such as basement rim joists, crawl space overhangs (or cantilevers), knee walls and bonus rooms. It can also be used in addition to traditional insulation in attics, if needed. Spray foam can also help increase the energy efficiency of a home, by keeping conditioned air trapped in a house rather than escaping through leaks. This reduces the workload on heating and cooling systems, saving money on utility bills. It can also improve indoor air quality by reducing allergens and pollutants in the household, preventing moisture damage and increasing comfort in all weather conditions.

There is no other insulation that can produce a custom air seal the way that spray foam can, and this helps prevent unwanted heat or cold transfer between a home’s interior and exterior, as well as from room to room. The sealing action of spray foam also cuts down on convective heat transfer during heating and cooling, resulting in energy savings.

There are a few things that must be done prior to installing spray foam insulation in a residential or commercial building, including clearing debris and ensuring that the surfaces that will receive the insulation are clean. Depending on the project, a fire coating may need to be applied if the foam will be left exposed for example in a pole barn or metal garage building. A fire coating is a specialized paint that can be used to give the spray foam an attractive look and protect it in case of fire or extreme radiant heat.
