When compared to fiberglass insulation, spray foam is much more resistant to moisture. This is important for preventing water damage in your home. It also helps prevent your HVAC system from having to work harder to remove humidity in the summer and winter, saving you money on your energy bills.
Another advantage of spray foam is that it never loses its shape or sags over time like traditional forms of insulation such as cellulose, wood, and fiberglass do. It’s a durable, long-lasting form of insulation that can be used in new construction, attics, crawl spaces, basement rim joists, pole barns and other types of commercial buildings and homes.
Improving Indoor Air Quality: The Role of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam in York, PA also acts as an air barrier by sealing all of the tiny gaps, nooks, and crannies that are common with older homes and structures. These leaks are one of the biggest culprits for high energy bills and spray foam eliminates them.
The air seal created by spray foam insulation is also a great deterrent for rodents, bats and insects. Because of its sturdiness and lack of food value, it offers less appeal for these pests than other forms of insulation such as cellulose and cotton.
When spray foam is installed, it requires professional technicians with the proper equipment. Homeowners should be prepared to vacate their home during the installation process because spray foam off-gasses harmful volatile organic compounds that can affect indoor air quality. These fumes will dissipate in a few days once the spray insulation has fully cured.
