Frequently Asked Questions

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, about 45% of a typical homeowner’s utility bill comprises heating and cooling costs. You can save up to 50% on your energy bills.

Specifics about how much energy you can save with insulation depend on factors like the size and construction of your house, the type of HVAC systems you have and more.

 This is a question many property owners wonder about. After all, it is a known fact that spray foam insulation involves the use of chemicals and possibly toxic materials. So how can it be safe for homeowners who would like to insulate their home with spray foam?

Despite the sometimes negative feedback of uninformed or improperly informed individuals about spray foam insulation, it still remains one of the most popular insulation types for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. It is so effective in sealing all possible air leaks, hence resulting in significant energy savings and improved comfort indoors.

It is very important to clarify that spray foam insulation, when installed properly by professionals, is a safe type of insulation. In fact, once it has cured properly, it will even contribute to improving the indoor air quality of your home. It effectively seals all possible entry points in your home where irritants such as pollen, dust, and other types of pollution can possibly get it. With the absence of allergens, many types of diseases and illnesses can be prevented. Furthermore, this type of insulation can help greatly in reducing the risk of mold as it controls the humidity indoors.

Spray foam insulation is also called spray-polyurethane foam (SPF). It is a chemical produced by combining polyol resin and isocyanate. Generally speaking, since it is made using chemicals, then it can become dangerous when handled and installed improperly.

That being said,  it is highly important for you to call a licensed insulation contractor to install this type of insulation in your property. The contractor will first inspect your property to check on the structure, layout, ventilation system, and to determine if spray foam is indeed the right type of insulation you need. They will then check the amount or thickness of spray foam required to properly insulate your home.

Not all insulation contractors can call themselves experts in SPF.  Be sure to call a licensed, knowledgeable contractor, that specializes in spray foam.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Animal are not attracted to it. Roofing Foam and it’s topcoat have a super tough finish. But—if they really want to, animals can get into ANY roof they want.
