FAQ’s

Why use spray foam vs. standard batt insulation?

Spray foam is more environmentally-friendly than batt insulation and offers other performance benefits including a more effective air and moisture barrier, reduction in noise levels, and increased structural strength.

Is spray foam insulation safe?

After the initial off-gassing period during application, your spray foam insulation will be 100% safe and harmless. That’s why we recommend and enforce that all projects have a ventilation period to air out before we allow people to enter the space. This ventilation period is typically 24 hours but can be accelerated with increased air changes. Any negative publicity associated with spray foam insulation has typically been associated with uncertified technicians using new, less quality-tested products or homeowners attempting to apply spray foam insulation without proper safety equipment.

How long does spray foam last?

With proper application, spray foam will last the lifetime of your home. Even roofing applications will last upwards of 30 years, with proper long-term maintenance.

Can I apply spray foam myself?

Without proper safety training, the application process of spray foam insulation can be hazardous to your health. There can also be issues with product performance should details in the application process be overlooked. This is why it should be handled by certified professionals with proper safety & application equipment.
