Insulate It Solutions – Benefits and Risks of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is a Tampa, FL and effective home improvement option, offering exceptional R-values up to 5.5 per inch. It also creates superior air seals, providing sound dampening properties and inhibiting mold growth, all while reducing energy bills. However, it is important to know the benefits and risks of this type of insulation before making a decision on what kind to choose for your building or home.
This type of insulation can be applied to walls, roofs, basements and crawl spaces in both new construction and retrofit projects. It also offers a wide range of insulating benefits for commercial applications such as warehouses, agricultural sheds, offices and more. This is due to the fact that it is highly flexible, able to fit into tight spaces and hard-to-reach areas such as rim joists, crawl spaces, overhangs and knee walls.

The air sealing that this type of insulation provides also helps to prevent ice dams in the winter. This is because warm air typically escapes to the attic and then moves down into the living space below, causing the formation of ice dams. However, the air seal created by the spray foam can help to prevent this problem by keeping the warm air inside of the house.
Another issue that can occur with spray foam is that it can make a building too tight, leading to increased moisture levels and trapping carbon dioxide gas and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This can then cause health issues such as mold development and general decreased indoor air quality. To avoid this, it is recommended to install ventilation systems in both the kitchen and bathrooms that can be operated daily to allow the proper exchange of fresh air into a home.
