Spray Foam Insulation

We speak with a manufacturing chemical engineer who knows his chemistry and with a local architect who is selective about when he uses spray foam. Learn how to hire an installer qualified to do the job properly and what to keep an eye on along the way.

Description

Spray foam insulation is the fastest-growing and most controversial segment of the
building sciences. As the demand for energy efficiency in building performance increases, the past methods have started to fall short. Spray foam can do a great job at both insulating and providing other features, all in the same product. It’s not the best choice for every application, though, and its alternatives are improving. It has downsides worth considering and risks that need to be managed.
