With spray foam insulation, you'll be warm this winter

A lower energy bill? Contribute to greater sustainability? A comfortable temperature in your home this winter? It's all possible by insulating your home with spray foam insulation.

Sure, there are several ways to insulate your home. But spray foam insulation offers the great advantage of being quick and easy to apply - especially in existing homes and buildings. A home, for example, can be completely insulated in one day* without any problems. And that's not the only advantage of spray foam insulation.

What is it?

But first: what exactly is it? Spray foam is one of the most efficient insulation materials in the world. It is made by mixing two components, which is done by a licensed insulation specialist on site. This foam is applied in the crawl space or in the roof. It easily adheres to different types of surfaces and gets into all nooks and crannies. This ensures seamless and airtight insulation. You no longer suffer from air leaks or drafts in your home. In addition, it also acts as soundproofing, which further increases the comfort of your home.

What does it provide?

Spray foam insulation offers you as a homeowner several benefits:

• For starters, as mentioned above, you save tremendously on your energy bill. That can be as much as 56%*.
• In addition, partly because of its water vapor permeability, it provides a very pleasant indoor climate. It keeps out cold and moisture in winter and heat in summer.
• Spray foam is very durable. It lasts for decades and is completely impervious to rot or mold. Furthermore, once applied, spray foam will never sag or loosen. Moreover, it retains its insulating properties even in the long term.
• The material is safe to use in the home thanks to its VOC A+ certification. VOC A+ is the strictest standard regarding the safety of ingredients when it comes to health.
