attic insulation is a relatively new type of insulation that can be used to replace fiberglass batts or cellulose. It has been proven to be more energy efficient than traditional forms of insulation. It also works well to prevent ice dams during winter by creating an air seal. Spray foam is made from a blend of petroleum extracts and organic chemicals derived from natural materials. It is environmentally safe and class one fire rated. Its main job is to resist both conduction and convection (heat flow in or out of a space) and to create an air seal.

Closed cell and open cell spray polyurethane are two liquid chemical components that undergo a chemical reaction during the installation process, creating a flexible plastic foam. When these chemicals are sprayed onto a surface, they expand to fill all the small spaces between walls and other surfaces for complete coverage.
The foam seals the wall and attic to stop air leaks. This dramatically reduces the need for heating and cooling, slashing energy costs. In some regions, owners can get rebates for insulating their homes with spray foam.
Spray foam insulation can be installed by professional technicians. It’s recommended that homeowners vacate the home during the installation. The foam will off-gas volatile organic compounds that can cause respiratory irritation. Once the spray has dried, home occupants can return to their property. It’s also possible to purchase kits that contain the chemicals for DIY applications. Kits are a good option for sealing small gaps, but they can’t provide the same benefits as professionally-installed spray foam.
