Spray Foam Insulation

Foam insulation provides the benefits of both insulating and sealing air leaks which prevents conditioned air from escaping the home.

Foam insulation is applied as a liquid and expands in seconds to fill a space, including any cracks and crevices that can allow air to escape.

Building codes in Wisconsin require use of close-cell spray foam. With closed-cell foam, all the tiny foam cells are closed and packed together. They are filled with a gas that helps the foam rise and expand and become a greater insulator. These cells can be formulated to obtain many characteristics, the most common being size and density.

Closed-cell spray foam insulation delivers a higher R-value, greater structural integrity and greater resistance to the leakage of air or water vapor than open-cell spray foam. 

There are many options ways to use foam insulation. It can be used:

• In large areas of a home (e.g. a newly remodeled or addition space)
• In basement box sills
• In crawl spaces
