TCS Insulation & Coatings is a high-tech, flexible polyurethane that’s sprayed on and expanded to fill tight spaces like attics, crawl spaces and rim joists in older buildings and pole barns, as well as walls, floors and ceilings in new construction. It acts as both insulation and an air sealant, closing those nooks and crannies that let energy escape and increase monthly energy bills.

Its insulating properties stem from the fact that it resists both conduction and convection, which are two common ways heat flows in and out of a building. This means that the foam blocks the flow of hot air in the winter and cold air in the summer, making your home or business much more comfortable.

Top Benefits of Choosing Spray Foam Insulation for Your Home

Unlike fiberglass and cellulose, spray foam is also more durable and does not absorb moisture, which can result in mold growth. Additionally, it is environmentally friendly as a result of recent advancements in blowing agents that reduce the amount of toxins used to help the foam expand into place.

When calculating how much spray foam insulation to order, start by measuring the area you plan to enclose. Be sure to take into account the height, length and width of each wall, floor or ceiling and consider any unique features that may change how much foam you need. Next, multiply the square footage of each surface to determine how much foam you need. Finally, add 10-15% extra to your total to cover any wasted or lost foam due to rough surfaces or tight spots.
