Spray foam insulation can be sprayed directly into spaces where other insulation products aren’t available, such as attics, crawl spaces and rim joists. It can also be sprayed into wall cavities, around electrical outlets and light fixtures, in gaps where walls meet windows or doors, and in corners. It can also be used to fill and seal the voids between wood flooring and ceilings.

It doesn’t lose its shape like traditional insulation materials and won’t compress or sag over time. It fills and seals every crack, nook, and cranny where air movement occurs – the primary source of heat loss in buildings. It also forms a tight barrier that prevents outside air, moisture and rodents from entering the home.

This air sealing also reduces the amount of outside noise that can travel through walls, helping you enjoy quieter nights at home. It can also provide relief for allergy sufferers, as it creates a barrier that traps pollen, dust and other allergens inside your home, reducing their circulatory effects on the body.

Closed-cell spray foam insulation offers superior insulating properties, but it is more expensive than open-cell insulation. It also requires a special spray application gun and must be sprayed by trained professionals. However, there are options for DIYers who want to tackle the project themselves using a kit that includes all of the necessary equipment. When choosing a DIY kit, look for one that uses blowing agents with low global warming potential (GWP) – those with a GWP of less than 3. This means the chemicals in the foam are not as potent at speeding climate change as carbon dioxide.
