Polyurethane Foam: A Liquid Foam Insulation

Polyurethane foam, a liquid foam insulation is applied by pumping the liquid through pressurized spray nozzles onto the wall cavities of your home.

When it lands on the wall cavities, it expands to a foam, conforming to the shape of the cavity and creating a continuous insulating barrier.

Its ability to fill even the smallest cavities gives it twice the R-value per inch than traditional fiberglass batt insulation.

Polyurethane foam insulation also has excellent adhesion ability to metal surfaces which eliminates condensation and leaks, and provides thermal efficiency.

Liquid foam insulation products and installation usually cost more than other insulation options. However, polyurethane foam forms an air barrier that other insulation methods don't.

This can help eliminate some of the other costs and tasks associated with weatherizing a home, such as caulking, applying house-wrap and vapor barrier, and taping joints.

When building a new home, this type of insulation can also help reduce construction time and the number of specialized contractors, which saves money.
