Unlike fiberglass batt insulation, attic insulation is applied in liquid form and expands to fill the smallest cracks and crevices. The resulting seals and air barriers prevent heat and cold from penetrating living spaces, and they are also free from small, hazardous particles that can be inhaled. In addition, spray foam is completely free from ozone depleting substances and has a very low global warming potential (GWP) of only 1. Unlike mineral wool, it doesn’t sag or cling to walls and ceilings.
Moisture and Mold Prevention with Spray Foam Insulation
The open and closed cell spray foam insulation offers many benefits, including sound dampening properties, reducing energy costs, eliminating drafts, and improving indoor air quality. It is also a great way to keep out moisture and pests, and it is resistant to mold growth.
Homeowners who choose to install spray foam should hire a professional. Insulation contractors know how to apply the product correctly and quickly, and they can ensure that all necessary building codes are followed. They can also install energy-efficient windows, which will help reduce energy costs and improve the overall efficiency of the home.
Blown-in insulation is an alternative to spray foam and is made of recycled materials such as rock, furnace slag and paper. It is available in batt and board form, and it can be installed in wall cavities, attics and between floors of living spaces. It is important to choose a reputable insulation company that will provide free estimates, show up in a timely manner and perform the work in a skilled manner.
