Spray foam insulation can make a huge difference to your energy bills. The air barrier it creates significantly reduces the amount of heating and cooling needed to maintain an interior temperature, resulting in substantial savings for homeowners and businesses. It also helps reduce condensation, which leads to mold and mildew growth in the building envelope.
While spray foam is more expensive than traditional fiberglass or cellulose, the investment will pay for itself in reduced utility bills. In addition, the long-term durability of spray foam means that it can reduce the need for costly re-insulation projects.
TCS Insulation & Coatings: Spray Foam Insulation for Year-Round Comfort
There are many DIY spray foam kits available, but experts at TCS Insulation & Coatings strongly recommend that you hire a professional to install your spray foam insulation. This is because spray foam is applied in a liquid form that expands to fill tight spaces, and the expansion process is best done by an experienced installer to ensure consistent coverage and proper expansion.
It is worth noting that some spray foam materials may emit an odor for several days after application. This is caused by unreacted amine catalysts and has been described by some as smelling like fish, cat urine, or fresh latex paint. The odor typically goes away with time.
Up to 40% of your home’s energy can escape through air infiltration, but spray foam insulation seals these gaps, cracks and nooks to dramatically cut your monthly energy costs. It’s also a healthier and more comfortable option than traditional fiberglass, and it can help reduce the symptoms of allergies.
