Attic insulation acts as both an insulator and air barrier, closing those small nooks and crannies that can let in moisture and waste heat energy. It also stops moisture from settling in places like attics and crawl spaces, which can cause mold and other damage.
In fact, adding this type of insulation to a home can reduce energy consumption by as much as 20%, according to the Urethane Foam Contractors Association. This is because it makes it easier to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the house without constantly adjusting the thermostat. In addition, the airtight seal that the spray foam creates means that it’s much harder for dust, pollen and other airborne contaminants to make their way into your living spaces. This can help to keep your HVAC air filters from becoming clogged, which can restrict the flow of air and lead to poor indoor air quality.

The amount of spray foam you’ll need to purchase depends on the square footage of your project and the thickness you want it to be. To calculate how much you’ll need, you can use a spray foam calculator. This tool will take into account the area you need to cover and your desired insulation thickness, such as two inches. It will then give you the number of boards of spray foam you’ll need to purchase. It’s important to note that different spray foam products have varying expansion rates and coverage amounts.
You’ll want to consider how accessible the area you need to insulate will be. There are a few areas in a home that you can easily insulate without demolition, including attics, basements, and crawl spaces. In these cases, spray foam may be an ideal option for your project.
