IS SPRAY FOAM INSULATIONRIGHT FOR MY ATTIC?

SPRAY FOAM HAS BECOME

A VERY POPULAR CHOICE FOR THOSE

WHO NEED NEW INSULATION FOR THEIR ATTICS.

There are two different types of

spray foam insulation: closed-cell and open-cell,

both of which are perfect for attics and other small,

cramped spaces within a home.

Spray foam is ideal for attics

because it can act as a moisture barrier, preventing

water from getting in and causing costly damages.

After spray foam has been installed it

does not deteriorate over time like fiberglass does.

This type of insulation can easily be

installed in even the smallest nooks and

crannies throughout a house, including the attic.

Although newer homes are ideal for

spray foam insulation, older homes can be

retrofitted with it with no problems whatsoever.

Spray foam insulation can be

installed in both vented and unvented homes,

though certain steps need to be taken to ensure

that important vents in this area remain functional.

The attic is the area of a house where

air infiltration is the biggest concern,

which is why it is such a good idea to

install spray foam in the flooring and walls.

You should get a professional

consultation before making the decision

to have spray foam installed in your attic.
