How SPF Works
SPF or Spray Polyurethane Foam insulation is one of the most efficient insulating materials available today, but just how does SPF work to insulate your home. SPF foam insulation is made by mixing chemicals that makes them react by creating a plastic foam. This foam expands on contact with the surrounding air. This foam then quickly hardens to insulate, air seal, and in some cases provide a moisture barrier. SPF foam resists heat transfer well, and It’s highly effective in reducing air infiltration.
How SPF is Applied
Applying SPF insulation should be done by an insulation installer certified in the application of SPF spray foam. A certified installer applies SPF while wearing specific personal protective equipment and specific work practices including the use of proper ventilation to minimize their exposure to chemicals while installing this spray foam. They also are trained in the ability to apply just the right thickness of foam evenly.
Cautions for Homeowners and Building Occupants
There are some cautions that homeowners and building occupants also have to adhere to. The building cannot be occupied during the application of the SPF due to the chemical fumes, and occupants of all buildings having spray foam installation installed need to adhere to the technicians guidelines as to when it is safe is return the building. These precautions are set to protect the health of all individuals so following these instructions to letter is an essential part of the entire installation process.

Highly recommend these guy for anyone looking for a smooth and affordable job. Needed it done before we moved back in and they were clean and timely. After only a few months we are already noticing a big difference in our energy bill. Can’t wait to see how well this works in the summer. As an added bonus there doesn’t seem to be as much noise coming in from outside. Thank you guys for the great service!
