What are the advantages to Spray Foam Insulation?

Spray foam insulation is a more modern type of building insulation that can be sprayed as a foam into any wall or cavity that requires insulating.  The benefits of using spray foam insulation over a more traditional insulation material such as fiberglass are numerous.  The many short and long term benefits of spray foam insulation are detailed below.

You will save on your utility bill each month!

After you have your new spray foam insulation installed you will be able to notice the difference in your hydro bill very quickly.  The installation of spray foam insulation will allow you to be able to regulate the temperature of your home with greater ease.  Also, your heating and cooling units will not need to work nearly as hard.

You will keep moisture out of your home

When using traditional insulation materials, it can be easy for moisture to get into the wall cavity of your home and this can cause some serious long term problems.  Spray foam insulation can have a significant impact on reducing the amount of moisture and air that comes into your home which can save you money in the long run.

Dust control

If you have allergies, spray foam insulation can help filter out any allergens like dust and pollen that would otherwise have a much easier path to enter your home through air infiltrating the walls that have traditional insulation materials.

Stronger walls and added value

Due to the materials that spray foam insulation is made of, once installed in your Toronto, Hamilton or Mississauga home the structural strength of your home will be increased.  You can also use the fact that you have spray foam insulation installed in your home when you come to sell your home due to all of the benefits it has in the long term protection of the house.

Loud neighbours or live near a highway? No problem

Another feature of spray foam insulation is that it can help reduce the level of noise that enters your home.  This can make a huge difference if you live in a noisy area or under a flightpath. The insulation will also prevent noise from leaving a home, so you will not need to be as concerned with keeping the TV volume low.

Longevity

Once spray foam insulation is installed into your home, you will not have to worry about it sagging over time, as the spray foam insulation will not lose any of its strength or properties over time in the same way that traditional insulation methods do.

Spray foam insulation is safe

As soon as the spray foam insulation has been installed, the foam will become a completely inert polymer.  This means that it will not release any debris, dust, or any harmful gases into your home.  Spray foam insulation is regarded as as extremely safe method of home insulation and is considered a modern alternative to outdated traditional methods.

You can help save the planet

As spray foam insulation is a much more effective insulator than fiberglass or other older methods of insulation, you will need less energy to heat or cool your home.  So, by having spray foam insulation installed into your Toronto, Mississauga or Hamilton home you will be reducing your carbon footprint.

Upgrading the insulation in your home to spray foam insulation will save you money and add value to your home.  You will be able to sit back and relax, safe in the knowledge that you have chosen the best materials for regulating the temperature in your home.
