Unlike fiberglass insulation which compresses or loses effectiveness over time, spray foam is resilient and retains its shape. This allows it to fill the spaces between studs and walls, sealing leaks and crevices that would otherwise go unnoticed. This is especially important because moisture entrapment can lead to costly issues like mold.

High-quality spray foam insulation is made from polyurethane, which is an eco-friendly, non-toxic material that’s gotten even greener in recent years as manufacturers have found ways to reduce the amount of blowing agents they use to help it take shape. It’s a highly versatile product that can be used in new construction homes, pole barns, or existing buildings in need of insulation.

Home Insulation 101: Why Tulsa Homeowners Choose Spray Foam

The biggest benefit of spray foam insulation is the powerful energy savings it can provide. It creates a custom air barrier and stops air infiltration that causes drafts, which in turn lowers HVAC usage. This can significantly lower energy bills, resulting in an immediate payback on the initial investment.

This is due to the fact that the air barrier created by this product restricts convective heat transfer from the outside air to the indoors during heating months and vice versa during cooling.

Foam also blocks the movement of polluted outdoor air into buildings, allowing only clean indoor air to enter. This results in a healthier environment for building occupants, as well as reduced indoor allergens. This can also reduce the frequency with which a building’s climate control systems must be used, which further cuts down energy costs.
