Insulation expands to fill all voids creating a sealed
thermal and airtight envelope. The 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.
