SPRAY PUFOAM BENEFITS
About Spray Polyurethane Foam
Spray Polurethane Foam or PU FOAM was THE BEST RECOMENDETION for THERMAL Insulation. Polyurethane is a leading member of the wide-ranging and highly diverse family of polymers or plastics. Polyurethane can be a solid or can have an open cellular structure, in which case it is called foam and foams can be flexible or rigid.
As simple explanation, manufacturers make polyurethane foam by reacting polyols and diisocyanates, both products derived from crude oil. A series of additives are necessary to produce high-quality PU foam products, depending on the application the foam will be used for.
Each form of polyurethane foam has many uses:
- Flexible polyurethane foam blocks used in the applications presented on this website (bedding, furniture, automotive and many others).
- Some flexible PU foams are also moulded, especially for use in the automotive sector, mainly for car seats. For more information on moulded foam applications, please visit the website of Euro-Moulders, the European association of manufacturers of moulded polyurethane parts for the automotive industry.
- Rigid foams are mainly used for thermal insulation of buildings and are in the remit of our partner organisation, PU Europe, which has developed a website specifically dedicated to answer all questions on building insulation with polyurethane foam.
SPRAY PUFOAM APPLICATION
Why Spray Pufoam
Why Select Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) Insulation?
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation helps keep homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Because it is sprayed directly into the gaps, cracks and other surfaces that contribute to heat loss, it both insulates and air seals, offering one of the easiest and most effective ways of weatherizing existing homes and new construction. When installed following proper safety and handling guidelines, spray polyurethane foam can help :
Help save on energy bills*
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates (for all insulation) that homeowners who air seal and insulate their building can save up to 20% of heating and cooling costs (or up to 10% total energy costs). (Source: Energy Star)
- SPF resists heat transfer better than many other insulation materials, with R-values typically in the range of 3.5 - 6.5 per one inch of thickness. R-value is a term used to rate an insulation's ability to resist conductive heat transfer. The higher the R-value, the more effective the insulation's ability is to reduce conductive heat flow.
- Because SPF insulation minimizes air infiltration, it assists in preventing moisture vapor from entering and escaping the home, which in turn reduces the load on heating and cooling systems.
*Savings vary. Find out why in the seller's fact sheet on R-values. Higher R-values mean greater insulating power.
Reduce heating and air conditioning size
HVAC sizing can be reduced as much as 35% without the loss of efficiency and comfort.

Reduce drafts, noise and increase comfort
- SPF is an effective air barrier.
- SPF is commonly used to prevent drafts from windows, doors, attics and floor boards creating a more comfortable indoor environment.
- SPF helps minimize air-borne sound transmission.
Impede entry of insects and pests
- Sealing gaps with SPF from the outside provides a barrier against insects and other pests.
- Moisture and humidity inside the home can lead to mold growth. Gaps and cracks in the building structure and condensation on windows can keep the humidity high and support mold and mildew growth. Left unchecked, mold and mildew can cause wood to rot. Air sealing the gaps between the attic and living space can help manage moisture and humidity issues.
Seal small cracks to insulate large areas, such as walls and roofs
Because SPF is spray-applied on site, it can more easily insulate and seal the small cracks common in homes. The application also makes expansive surfaces - like walls, attics and roofs - easy to cover in a relatively short amount of time.
Depending on the application, different types of SPF may be used. (See "Types of SPF insulation and how it's applied")
Resist settling due to its general stability
Typically not subjected to structural deterioration/decomposition and resists settling.
Qualify for utility rebates, tax credits and green certification
The energy savings obtained by air sealing homes is significant enough that the purchase and use of SPF products may qualify for tax credits under the new American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allows for a tax credit of 30% on the purchase of energy efficient products, up to a maximum of $1,500 per year in 2010. Check with the manufacturer for confirmation that the specific SPF product qualifies for the tax credit and for further information and instructions on filing for the credit.
Many local utility companies offer rebates for energy efficiency upgrades. Check with your utility provider for eligibility. To learn more about federal tax credits for energy efficiency, you can visit the ENERGY STAR web site onFederal Tax Credits for Consumer Energy Efficiency. For new construction or major remodel projects, the use of SPF may help earn energy-efficiency credits under residential green certification programs. A few sources you can visit include:

SPRAY PUFOAM BENEFITS
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation saves on energy costs and lowers utility bills. Studies by the US Department of Energy show that 40% of a home's energy is lost as the result of air infiltration through walls, windows and doorways.
- Buildings treated with spray foam insulation typically insulate as much as 50% better than traditional insulation products.
- Insulation that is sprayed in buildings protects against moisture, which provides the benefit of reducing the chance of harmful mold and mildew.
- Eliminating mold growth reduces the likelihood of rotting wood in a home, and allergic reactions to mold spores.
In addition to building temperature and moisture control, spray foam insulation is often used to reduce noise.
- Foam insulation serves as a barrier to airborne sounds, and reduces airborne sound transfer through a building's roof, floor and walls.
- In the United States, homes treated with spray foam insulation often qualify for state and federal tax deductions.
Seize the long-term benefits of energy efficiency & savings!
The immediate and long-term benefits of spray foam insulation far outweigh the initial costs associated with installation. This insulating and air sealing material provides endless benefits. By investing in spray foam insulation you will:
- Potential to see heating and cooling savings every month
- Improve your home’s energy efficiency by using your HVAC equipment less often thanks to spray foam’s air sealing qualities
- Right-size’ your HVAC equipment because it uses less effort to heat and cool your home
- Add resale value to your home should you choose to sell
- Reduce amount of allergens, pollutants and moisture entering your home - where it is applied
- Keep you and your family warm in winter, cool in summer andcomfortable all year round
- Reduce the risk of drafts, hot or cold spots
- Minimize airborne noise from external sources and noise from within your home (such as plumbing runs)
- Add structural integrity to your home (especially with closed-cell insulation)
These immediate and long-term benefits are unmatched by traditional insulation types. Fragile, fibrous and inefficient, traditional insulations cannot match the advantages of spray foam.
Investing in an insulation and air barrier material will not only quickly payback the initial investment but offer the opportunity to make savings every month for as long as you live in your home.
HIGH PRESSURE TWO COMPONENT SYSTEM
SPF high pressure systems: Two-component, high pressure systems (typically 800-1600 psi) use 55-gallon drums and are more often used when insulating larger areas on new construction or major renovations on walls and roofs. These products are intended for professional use. These products require special training and the use of specialized personal protective equipment (PPE), including respirators.
For a typical high pressure SPF application, a spray rig (truck) which houses the SPF ingredients, air supply and other items is parked near the home or building to be sprayed. Hoses (up to about 300 ft. in length) are carried to the application area and installers wearing proper protective equipment spray the foam.
