3 Reasons to Choose Spray Foam Insulation

July 13, 2015

Not all home insulation is created equal. If you’ve been considering your options for an upcoming home renovation, new addition, or new house that’s being built, you may be wondering whether you should try out spray foam insulation. Here are three reasons spray foam insulation like Icynene is a better choice than other types of insulation.

1. Air Sealing. Unlike other insulation types, spray foam insulation like Icynene acts as an air seal, anywhere that it is used throughout the house. The air seal that foam insulation provides can help prevent drafts and air leaks, which can affect the interior temperature of the house.
2. Not considered a food source for pests. Unlike other types of insulation, Icynene spray foam insulation does not attract pests, helping to deter them from nesting in your home.
3. Uncompromised performance. Over time, old insulation may diminish in performance and coverage to create gaps that allow for air leaks and drafts to appear in the home. Icynene spray foam insulation maintains its shape and insulating properties, which means you can relax and enjoy a consistent temperature in your home, without having to worry about air leaks developing due to gaps in the insulation.

Talk to a licensed Icynene spray foam insulation contractor in your area, to find out more about the differences between traditional and spray foam insulation and discover more reasons to insulate your home.
