Insulate It Solutions – What is Spray Foam Insulation?
Many homeowners are curious about spray foam insulation but may not know what it’s all about. South Central Services receives calls weekly from homeowners asking what it is and how it works. The short answer is it’s polyurethane foam; it’s a plastic made by chemically reacting two liquid components (commonly called the A-Side and the B-Side).
Closed cell spray foam insulates better than fiberglass batts, and it creates an effective vapor barrier as well. It also does a great job of sealing out air and moisture, preventing mold and mildew. It is a great option for attics, crawl spaces and rim joists. It is often installed alongside new construction windows to create an energy-efficient and weatherproof seal.
