EcoHome Spray Foam Insulation – Is it Really the Best Choice?

Spray foam insulation is applied as a liquid that expands before hardening – and once it does, it creates an airtight seal that can significantly reduce heating bills.

However, the chemicals used to make this spray insulation are not good for our environment – or our health. They contain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that have a global warming potential over 3,400 times as high as carbon dioxide on a per kilo basis.

Enhancing Energy Efficiency with EcoHome Spray Foam

HFCs are also toxic to humans and animals and can lead to several serious health problems. This makes it even more important to use non-toxic building materials when making your house. The closed cell spray foam we use at Eco Home is GREENGUARD Gold certified, formaldehyde free and has a much faster cure time than other products on the market.

Besides being an effective energy efficient product, closed-cell spray foam is also water resistant, which helps to protect the property from moisture damage and reduce the risk of mildew and mould. This, in turn, helps to protect the occupants from health risks and maintain the structural integrity of the building.

While spray insulation seems like a smart way to improve your home, it’s always worth considering whether it really is the best choice. It’s a petroleum-based product, and while it has been proven to be highly effective – there are other alternatives that may work just as well for less money and less impact on our planet.
