Unlike conventional fiber, spray foam Insulation Contractor insulates your entire home and stops heat loss at the source. This dramatically reduces your heating and cooling costs. It also increases your energy efficiency reducing your carbon footprint.

The spray foam insulation is sprayed as a liquid and expands to form an airtight barrier. The foam can be applied to a variety of surfaces including bare walls, ceilings and floors. It is primarily used in basement rim joist, attic floors and crawl spaces, overhangs (or cantilevers), knee walls, and bonus rooms.

EcoHome Spray Foam: Reducing Your Carbon Footprint

Its ‘green’ marketing is based on the fact that it can be made with a small amount of plant-based oils. However, this amount is dwarfed by the highly toxic chemicals that it consists of. Spray foam is mainly composed of isocyanate and polyurethane. The polyurethane is derived from petrochemicals, while the isocyanate is an extremely dangerous and carcinogenic chemical. The isocyanate must be contained at all times during application, so a protective suit and mask are required.

Conventional fibre insulation only attempts to slow down conduction, while spray foam insulates your entire home preventing heat loss at the source. This helps your house stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It also reduces noise and prevents the growth of mould and mildew.

It can be hard to install and requires a professional spray foam installer. It’s important to ensure that the spray foam installer you choose is aware of the dangers and complies with the required safety standards. They should have a spray gun, a respirator mask, a safety goggle, and drop cloths to protect surfaces from overspray.
