EcoHome Spray Foam is one of the best ways to save energy in your home. It seals nooks and crannies in your walls, roof or foundation. It can be used in basement rim joists, crawl spaces, overhangs (or cantilevers), knee walls and bonus rooms. Insulation is a barrier that resists conduction (heat flow) and convection (air flow) – it keeps your house warm in winter and cool in summer.

Insulation also stops drafts and condensation that can form on the inside of your wall. It’s important to prepare the area that will be sprayed to ensure that it’s clean and dry. Spray foam is sprayed as a liquid and expands to fill the space. The resulting air pockets help create a tight seal and make it difficult for heat energy to transfer.

The Benefits of Using EcoHome Spray Foam for Energy-Efficient Homes

It’s also important to know that spray foam requires a licensed professional installer. Resist the temptation to buy a DIY spray kit and be sure that any professional you choose is licensed, insured and aware of the dangers involved. If he or she doesn’t wear a respirator, boiler suit and safety gear, don’t hire them!

It’s also important to avoid flammable spray foams that contain chemicals like isocyanate. These chemicals off-gas and can cause respiratory irritation or chemical sensitization for those with sensitive skin. Avoid open-celled foams as well – they’re not as effective as closed cell polyurethane products. Finally, be sure to ask about the R-value of your chosen spray foam and if the blowing agent is HFC-free – HFCs have a global warming potential (GWP) over 3,400 times higher than carbon dioxide on a per kilo basis.
