When you get quotes on insulating your home or business, you might find out that you have several options available. Often it can be challenging to determine if one type of insulation is better than the other.
Specific types of insulation products have different benefits in some situations. "Is spray foam insulation worth it?" is a common question that our customer service team gets.
To help you decide if spray foam insulation is right for you, we asked our experts to give their expertise. See what they said below.
Choose spray foam over other types of insulation.
When investing in your home, insulation will make it more comfortable and energy-efficient. We highly recommend spray foam insulation because it will give your home the best sealing and airtightness.
Cellulose and fibreglass is an affordable option and will help block some of that cold or warm air from getting inside. However, it does not stop it entirely. Fibreglass and cellulose start to break down with age.
Fibreglass insulation can get also be acceptable to rodent infestation and mould and mildew.
Spray Foam cost more but does the best job. We offer one of the industry-leading Green Guard Certified "foams with the Soltice LBA" catalyst that a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 1 instead of some competitors with a GWP of 782. It is made and manufactured in Canada and has a recycled content of 24%.
Spray foam is great because it expands and fills hard to reach areas and oddly shaped spaces. It also works better in extremely cold conditions and does not break down over time.
