Why Spray Foam Outperforms Traditional Insulation
Spray foam insulation, also called spray polyurethane foam, is applied with a sprayer that mixes two liquids. The foam expands to fill cavities and cover surfaces completely, so it can insulate walls, attics, ceilings, floors, basements and crawl spaces.
The biggest difference from fiberglass or cellulose is that spray foam is an air barrier and a thermal barrier in one product. Traditional insulation slows down heat, but it does not stop air from moving through your walls and attic.
- Insulates and air seals in a single step
- Closed cell foam adds a moisture barrier
- Fills the gaps around wiring, pipes and framing
How Insulation Lowers Your Energy Bills
Unless your home was built with special attention to energy efficiency, adding insulation will probably reduce your utility bills.
Goes to Heating and Cooling
That is the typical share of a homeowner’s utility bill spent on heating and cooling.
Potential Savings
Homeowners may be able to cut their energy bills by this much, and adding insulation is one of the major steps.
Measures Insulating Power
R-value is insulation’s resistance to heat flow. The higher it is, the better it insulates, and it depends on material, thickness and installed weight.

Here’s what some of our happy customers had to say about our services:
Insulation Questions We Hear Often
How do I know if my home needs more insulation?
Start by checking your attic. If the insulation between the attic floor joists only comes up to the top of the joists, it probably makes sense to add more. Most homes built before 1980 do not have enough.
How much will I save by adding insulation?
It depends on your local climate, the size, shape and construction of your house, and how your family lives in it. We will walk through these with you during your free estimate.
Can insulation help reduce unwanted sound?
Yes. Insulation reduces noise traveling through floors and through interior and exterior walls, which makes for a quieter, more comfortable home.
Why hire a professional insulation contractor?
Insulation only performs when it is installed correctly. That takes knowledge of vapor retarders, air infiltration, ventilation, recessed lighting and water pipes, along with local codes.
