  • What’s the difference between open-cell and closed-cell spray foam?

    Open-cell foam is lightweight and flexible, ideal for soundproofing and budget-friendly insulation, though it has a lower R-value. Closed-cell foam is denser, more rigid, and offers better moisture resistance and insulation, making it great for areas exposed to the elements.

  • How long does spray foam insulation last?

    Spray foam insulation is highly durable and can maintain its effectiveness for over 80 years, lasting the entire lifespan of most buildings without settling or degrading.

  • Is spray foam insulation worth the investment?

    While spray foam costs more upfront, its superior energy efficiency, durability, and air-sealing benefits can lead to significant savings on utility bills and a boost in property value, making it a smart long-term choice.

  • Can spray foam be added to existing walls?

    Yes, spray foam can be installed in finished walls by injecting it through small drilled holes. The foam expands to fill the gaps, and the holes are patched and painted, making the process quick and minimally disruptive.

  • Is spray foam insulation safe?

    When it's installed by trained professionals, spray foam is completely safe after curing—typically within 24 hours. Installers follow strict safety measures during application to ensure a safe environment for your home or building.
