Attic insulation is not just a great insulator, but it also acts as an air sealant creating a custom, energy-efficient home envelope. This is especially important in areas such as basement rim joist, crawl spaces, overhangs (or cantilevers), knee walls and bonus rooms, where air leaks are most common.

The air barrier that spray foam creates prevents the escape of conditioned air and allows heating and cooling systems to operate at their optimal levels without having to work as hard. This translates into reduced monthly energy bills for the homeowner and less waste of natural resources.

As spray foam expands and fills in tight spaces, its coverage is much greater than fiberglass batts or other cellulose products. It is also much more durable, providing a long-lasting solution that can easily withstand a lot of wear and tear.

Common Myths About Spray Foam Insulation Debunked

In addition to sealing out air, spray foam stops moisture as well. It prevents places like attics and crawl spaces from becoming damp, humid environments that need to be dehumidified with your HVAC system running all the time – again causing unnecessary wear and tear on your equipment and a direct impact on your energy bill.

The spray foam that 316 Insulation uses in homes and businesses is eco-friendly, using a low GWP blowing agent such as Genyk Boreal Nature or BASF Walltite CM01. The closed-cell spray foam will not attract insects and other vermin and is resistant to mold and mildew growth as it has a sealed, airtight surface.
