Distinctive Spray Foam is a great option for those looking to improve their home’s energy efficiency. It reduces air leakage and stops drafts and cold spots in the home. It also helps prevent the formation of ice dams in the attic. It is a green, healthy option that is non-toxic and has low environmental impact. The most important attribute of spray foam insulation is its ability to create a custom air seal. This air seal impacts conduction and convection, two forces that affect the efficiency of a building envelope. It stops warm air from escaping in the winter and cool air from escaping in the summer, and it does so without compromising the integrity of the building structure.

Distinctive Spray Foam: Your Go-To for High-Quality Insulation Solutions

When selecting spray foam, the substrate is an important factor. This refers to the surface that the spray is applied to, such as wood framing, metal studs or drywall. There are open and closed cell spray polyurethane foams that can be used against different substrates. A professional will be able to recommend the right foam for your specific project.

Both open and closed cell foam are non-toxic once they have cured. However, during the curing process the spray emits a gas that can cause respiratory irritation in those who are not adequately ventilated and wearing proper PPE. It is recommended that spray foam be installed in new construction homes or in existing drywalled walls prior to re-drywalling. It is also recommended that a home or building with spray foam insulation have an energy recovery ventilation (ERV) or heat recovery ventilator (HRV) system to help mitigate poor indoor air quality and maintain proper airflow.
