When it comes to home insulation, New Generation Spray Foam and cellulose tend to settle and compress over time, reducing their R-value. Closed-cell spray foam, on the other hand, can remain intact for decades and still have a high R-value. Spray foam also creates an air-tight barrier that prevents conditioned air from escaping and outdoor air from entering, significantly lowering energy bills.

It can also reduce drafts, hot and cold spots, and moisture infiltration—all of which contribute to mold growth. Mold remediation can be expensive and difficult, often outweighing any energy savings realized.

The Long-Term Value of Investing in Spray Foam

A well-insulated house that’s tightly sealed and air-tight can save homeowners up to 50 percent on their energy costs. These savings add up over time and can easily outweigh the initial cost of installing spray foam.

However, a poor spray foam installation can cause problems down the road. A contractor who lacks experience or uses cheap, outdated materials can leave a home exposed to a variety of issues—from poor indoor air quality and health risks, to structural damage and energy efficiency problems. These mistakes can have a lasting negative impact on a homeowner’s comfort and property value.
