When you want a home that’s energy efficient, comfortable and quiet, spray foam insulation is the way to go. This premium insulation creates a tight seal and prevents air leakage, which in turn saves energy and lowers utility bills.
However, it’s important to understand the pros and cons of spray foam before deciding on whether it’s right for your property. This article from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors provides some helpful advice.
A key advantage of spray foam is that it can be easily installed. Unlike fiberglass batts, it doesn’t need to be unrolled or cut to fit the space, and installers can simply point a specialized gun at all the hard-to-reach spots like seams and corners. The foam expands into the area and covers it completely.

The process is also cleaner and faster than installing traditional insulation. However, it’s recommended that homeowners vacate the building during spraying and curing, as the insulator off-gases large quantities of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
When choosing a spray foam Insulation Contractor product, look for open or closed-cell varieties that use water or carbon dioxide instead of HFCs. This will reduce your environmental impact significantly – hydrofluorocarbons have a global warming potential of 3,400 times that of carbon dioxide on a per-kilo basis, so using less of them is very beneficial.
