Technology has brought many products that are environment friendly and enhance own comfort. Spray foam insulation being one of the leading products. It contains a highly reactive foaming agent. The two components are kept separate until they reach the nozzle of the spraying machine when they quickly react creating a material that can expand up to 100 times its original size on hitting a solid surface. Its liquid state allows it to penetrate fine cracks and holes in the surface thus filling them and giving complete insulation discouraging pests from burrowing into your home. This in turn cut your expenses as you will no longer have to fumigate with dangerous pesticides. Spray foam insulation also help keep moisture out, and is excellent for preventing mold and water damage.

Spray foam insulations have higher R-values. R-value is basically the measurement of thermal resistance of materials used in the construction industry. So if a material have higher R value (numerical value) than that material is better insulator or in straight terms R value is directly proportional to insulation ability of that material. Spray Foam insulation has a much higher R-value than most insulators. In fact, it has twice the R-value per inch than traditional fiberglass insulation and much higher R value than cellulose insulation.
