  • Spray foam insulation can reduce energy bills by up to 40%.

    Spray foam outlasts fiberglass batts and has a return on the investment average of 4 years.

    Spray foam offers opportunities to lower maintenance costs on roofing systems.

    Homeowners, builders and architects may be able to qualify for tax incentives, rebates, grants or certifications.

  • Spray foam insulation creates a complete air-tight seal, preventing drafts and providing better indoor temperature control. Good indoor temperature control can have a dramatic effect on household comfort.

    Spray foam can serve as a sound barrier, making your home or office a more peaceful environment. Open cell foam can reduce high frequency noise, and closed cell foam can reduce low-frequency noise.

    Sealing gaps with spray foam can provide a barrier against pollen, dust, and insects. Reducing external allergens can be especially helpful in households with allergy sufferers.

  • According to the National Association of Home Builders spray foam insulation adds 75% to 200% STRUCTURAL STRENGTH to your home, given its high compressive / tensile strength and its ability to act as a bonding agent.
