It’s a type of insulation that is sprayed onto surfaces in liquid form. When applied, it expands and hardens to form a solid barrier that helps with temperature regulation, soundproofing, and energy efficiency.
It works by expanding to fill gaps, cracks, and crevices, creating an airtight seal. It prevents heat from escaping in the winter and entering in the summer, keeping your home or building more energy efficient.
Yes, spray foam insulation is safe for residential and commercial use. Spray Foam TX uses high-quality materials that are approved for use in buildings, and we ensure proper ventilation during installation.
It can last the lifetime of your building when properly installed. It will not sag, settle, or degrade over time like some traditional insulation types.
It depends on the size of the area to be insulated. Usually, spray foam insulation can be applied in one day for most homes or small commercial spaces. After the application is completed, it takes about 24-48 hours to fully cure.
Yes, it reduces air leakage, helping to stabilize indoor temperatures. Your heating and cooling systems won’t have to work as hard, potentially reducing energy bills.
Yes, spray foam insulation can be applied to new constructions or retrofitted into existing homes, including attics, walls, basements, and crawl spaces.
Yes, unlike fiberglass, spray foam expands upon application, filling gaps and cracks to create a seamless barrier. It has a higher R-value (insulating capacity) per inch compared to fiberglass. It offers superior performance in preventing heat loss.
This varies depending on the size of the area to be insulated, the type of foam, and other factors including accessibility. The long-term energy savings typically offset the initial investment over time.
It can be eco-friendly, especially if made with renewable or low-GWP (global warming potential) blowing agents. It also helps reduce energy consumption, which lowers carbon emissions. It can be a more sustainable option compared to fiberglass or cellulose.
We do not recommend DIY installation. Improper application can lead to poor performance, health risks, or damage to your property. Hire a licensed and insured professional.
There is little to no maintenance once it’s properly installed. It’s a good idea to inspect the foam for damage or wear if there are issues with temperature regulation or moisture in the area.
Closed-cell spray foam insulation is fire-resistant, but it is not entirely fireproof. It usually meets fire safety standards and slows down the spread of flames. You should always consult local building codes for specific requirements.
Yes, it can improve indoor air quality by reducing the amount of dust, pollen, and other allergens that can enter your property through cracks and gaps.
It depends on the type (closed-cell or open-cell) and thickness applied. Closed-cell foam offers an R-value of 6-7 per inch, open-cell foam offers an R-value of 3.5-4 per inch.
It may emit a slight odor when applied, but it usually dissipates within a few hours. We ensure proper ventilation during installation to minimize exposure to fumes. The area can be re-entered once the foam has cured.
Make sure the area is cleared of furniture and any obstructions. Our team will also check for moisture issues. It’s essential to address any water concerns before applying foam insulation.
