Insulation is one of the best things that you can do to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of your home or commercial building. It helps to keep warm air in during winter and cool air out in summer. It also reduces moisture infiltration, which can lead to mold growth and structural damage. In addition, proper insulation can save you hundreds of dollars per year in energy costs.
Spray foam insulation is a unique type of insulation that uses polyurethane and isocyanate to create a seamless barrier that expands into every space to provide superior thermal resistance. It is available in both open and closed-cell varieties, each with its own pros and cons for specific applications. Open-cell spray foam is typically 30 to 50 cents per square foot while closed-cell spray foam is about $1 to $2 per square foot. The thickness of the application will determine the price as well.

A major benefit of spray foam insulation is that it provides both an air and a thermal barrier with one product, unlike common fiberglass batts that don’t provide any barrier to the movement of air. This increased air tightness not only improves your home’s energy efficiency, but it can also increase the structural integrity of your house, reducing the risk of mold and moisture infiltration, which are common problems in Florida homes.
Spray foam insulation can be installed in new construction and existing homes and buildings. It can be applied to attics, crawl spaces and rim joists in new construction and poured concrete walls in existing houses and pole barns. It is usually injected into concrete block walls using a tube that injects a non-toxic liquid resin, foaming agent and air.
