Newport, NY is a two-part liquid that expands to fill spaces and crevices on installation. It’s usually sprayed into open cavities like attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists in new construction or existing homes, pole barns, or commercial buildings. It also can be applied to concrete block walls as long as they are exposed.
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
Once the area is prepped and the installer has donned appropriate protective equipment, he or she will run a hose to the open cavity that needs insulating. Then, the rig that produces the spray will start working to mix and spray the foam. A computer inside the rig ensures that the foam is mixed properly and that it is the correct temperature at all times. Some brands of spray foam, such as Lapolla’s HEATLOK SOY, also have a low-GWP blowing agent that helps reduce the global warming potential of the chemicals used to make it.
After the spray is done, it will need a day or so to cure and off gas. During that time, homeowners should not disturb the area and keep children and pets away from it. It is also important to wear gloves, goggles, and a respirator to avoid breathing in the chemical fumes.
While professional spray foam installation is more expensive than DIY options, the upfront investment will pay for itself in lower energy bills and fewer repairs to the home. Depending on the situation, spray foam insulation can also help prevent ice dams by keeping warm air from escaping into the attic and freezing over the roof deck.
