spray foam insulation can be sprayed in the walls, attics and other areas of a home or pole barn to help provide comfort and energy efficiency. When compared to traditional fiberglass or cellulose, spray foam provides better coverage and a tighter air seal. The insulating power of spray foam is due to small pockets within the foam that create barriers to both heat and sound transfer. It also does not compress or sag over time.

Customer Success Stories with 316 Insulation

The process of spraying spray foam starts with a thorough cleaning and prep of the area being sprayed. If the project is being performed in a new construction home or existing home that has already had previous insulation removed, then it’s necessary to remove any remaining insulation before spraying the foam. Spray foam can be sprayed in open cavities such as attics, crawl spaces and rim joists, or in closed cavities like behind walls or around light fixtures, plumbing pipes or electrical boxes.

Depending on the specific application, spray foam can be used to stop air flow and drafts, deter mold growth, reduce noise levels and lower utility bills. The air seal created by spray foam can also prevent ice dams in the attic.

While DIY spray foam kits are available, the best results and highest R-values are typically achieved through professional installation. A trained installer is also able to choose the right type of spray foam for each job. For example, closed-cell spray foam is more expensive than open cell foam, but it’s a physically stronger material that does a superior job of insulating and creating an effective vapor barrier.
