application of spray foam creates a highly effective seal against air
leakage, the number one source of energy loss in a structure. In addition to
improving durability, indoor air quality and comfort, spray foam insulation
when paired with other responsible materials can reduce heating costs by
30-50% compared to traditional insulations, reducing the burning of fossil
fuels and lowering CO2 emissions.
