When spray foam Insulation Contractor is installed correctly, it does a great job of impacting the conduction and convection of heat in a home. This means it keeps the house warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It also helps to reduce energy bills significantly. But spray foam is not without its issues.

Insufficient ventilation and poor airflow in homes with spray foam insulation can lead to mold development and reduced indoor air quality. These problems are often hidden until they manifest themselves in the form of health issues or financial burdens. It is therefore essential that homeowners considering spray foam install an ERV or HRV system in conjunction with their insulation, which provides adequate ventilation and improves indoor air quality.

What to Expect When Working with Insulation Pro Inc. for Spray Foam Insulation

Whether closed or open cell, spray foam insulation should not be used in areas that are subject to moisture condensation. This is because the insulation creates a very effective vapor barrier and can trap moisture within the walls or roof. This may result in rotting wood framing and sheathing, as well as the onset of mold growth.

Additionally, the chemicals used to blow spray foam insulation into place have a global warming potential (GWP) of over 3,400 times that of carbon dioxide on a per kilo basis. This is because they are made from unsustainable, petroleum-based materials. Other less toxic insulation options that are better for the environment include fibreglass and cellulose, which is made from recycled paper treated with fire retardant.
