what are the advantages of spray foam insulation?
Spray foam insulation has many advantages over alternative insulation products such as fiberglass and cellulose. If foam insulation is used throughout the entire home, it seals-off all air infiltration by sealing the voids throughout the insulated area. This helps to create a thermal envelope controlling the air inside the building allowing for the downsizing of the buildings HVAC systems lowering building costs.
