Attic insulation is a powerful barrier that restricts airflow through walls, floors and ceilings. It fills in spaces around light fixtures and electrical outlets, areas where walls meet windows or doors, ensuring that there are no air leakages that can increase your heating or cooling costs. Spray foam can be used in new construction, or in the attic and rim joists of existing homes or pole barns. It can even be installed in metal buildings.
A professional installer will use a specialized rig that mixes the spray material on-site. The chemicals are heated and pressurized so they can re-form into a solid after they are sprayed onto the surface to be insulated. As the chemical reaction takes place, the resulting product expands to fill all of the small crevices that would otherwise be hard to reach with other types of insulation. Spray foam can also adhere to drywall and concrete, making it a popular choice for retrofitting old homes and commercial structures.

The benefits of spray foam include an air-tight seal and energy savings. RICS advises that this type of insulation can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50% right away. It is a cost-effective way to make a home or building more comfortable, and it can help you qualify for rebates or tax credits.
However, improper spray foam insulation can lead to mold development and poor indoor air quality, which can lead to significant remediation expenses. It is important to ensure that the correct mix of polyol and isocyanate is applied, and all application surfaces are clean before spraying. Additionally, exposure to isocyanates can cause irritation of the eyes, gastrointestinal tract and respiratory system.
