When most homeowners think of home, they envision warmth, safety and family. While many don’t equate energy efficiency with that vision, it is a very important component. In fact, closed cell spray foam insulation can help reduce air leaks and save up to 20% in yearly electricity savings.
Unlike traditional fiberglass or cellulose, spray foam can fill all cracks and crevices, making it the best insulation for homes with older walls and stud cavities, or those being built in new construction. It also doesn’t lose shape, sag or compress over time and provides an air barrier that helps lower utility bills by keeping conditioned air in the spaces it should be.
