Georgia Insulation  scares a lot of homeowners, which isn’t surprising given the horror stories that are all over the internet. While a few of these stories are legitimate, most of them are based on skewed perceptions or flawed science. The good news is that, when properly installed, spray foam insulation is a great way to reduce energy bills, strengthen homes and buildings, and protect health from indoor air pollutants such as mold, water vapor, odors, and radon.

What Is Spray Foam Insulation Made Of?

Spray foam is a type of polyurethane foam. Two liquid chemical components undergo a reaction to create this plastic foam that is literally sprayed out of a hose, covering the area that needs insulating. It then expands (closed-cell spray foam, for example, expands quite a bit) to fill every nook and cranny for 100% coverage. Both open and closed-cell foam have top-notch insulating properties and can help to save on heating and cooling bills.

However, the true benefit of spray foam is that it acts as an air seal, creating a custom airtight envelope within a building structure. This prevents convective heat transfer between interior and exterior spaces, saving on energy costs year-round. It also helps to block moisture, reducing the risk of condensation and protecting the underlying materials from damage.
