What is Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam insulation is a high-performance insulation material that expands upon application, creating an airtight seal that effectively blocks air leaks and moisture. Unlike traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation, spray foam offers superior thermal resistance, making it an ideal solution for homes in Chicago’s varying climate.
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
- Lower Energy Bills: Reduces heating and cooling costs by sealing gaps and preventing air leakage.
- Superior Air Seal: Expands to fill cracks and voids, eliminating drafts and improving comfort.
- Prevents Moisture & Mold Growth: Acts as a moisture barrier, reducing the risk of mold and mildew.
- Increases Home Value: A well-insulated home is more attractive to buyers and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
- Enhances Indoor Air Quality: Blocks dust, allergens, and pollutants from entering your home.
- Long-Lasting Performance: Unlike traditional insulation, spray foam doesn’t sag or degrade over time.
