Spray foam Insulation Contractor evokes a lot of debate among building scientists, construction professionals and environmentalists. Some people swear by it and others believe it can cause health issues for homeowners as well as make houses unmortgageable if not properly installed. Closed-cell spray foam is sprayed into walls, ceilings, and attics during the rough-in stage of construction. It fills cracks, voids and crevices creating an air-tight seal preventing energy loss which lowers heating and cooling costs. It also stops the buildup of mildew and mould reducing the need for frequent cleaning.

It is non toxic once it has cured, but during this time it off-gases a large amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This can cause blurred vision and respiratory irritation. It is recommended to wear full face and respiratory protection for the duration of the application. Once the foam has cured it is safe to return to the home.

VOCs are released as the spray foam expands. They are quickly converted to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and have a high global warming potential (GWP). New generation spray foam uses blowing agents that are low in GWP, which is an important step forward.

Houses function as environmental separators handling water, air, vapor, and heat. The best way to keep heat inside is with a tight envelope, so spray foam is ideal for new builds and renovations. It is very effective in blocking convective heat transfer, as well as conductive heat transfer.
