HomeBlogHow Does Spray Foam Insulation Compare to Other Types of Insulation?

Here at Cape Fear Foam LLC, we prefer to use spray foam insulation for our insulation services because we view it as the superior type of insulation. Here are a few ways that it compares to other insulation types to help you understand why we will always choose spray foam whenever you need new insulation for any part of your home.

How Does Spray Foam Insulation Compare to Other Types of Insulation?

  • Application: Many types of insulation require choosing just the right sizing or amount of insulation to cover the space in your home. This can often result in hidden air leaks or other issues over time. Spray foam insulation is sprayed into the space and expands to fill even the tiniest cracks or gaps, so no air or moisture can leak through.
  • Longevity: Other types of insulation will degrade over time or may become moldy when exposed to moisture. Spray foam insulation includes materials that protect it from mold growth and is designed to last for decades rather than degrade over time, making it a better investment.
  • Benefits: All insulation can allow for temperature and moisture control in your home. However, the airtight seal that spray foam insulation provides allows for a more effective barrier against air and moisture, so you can enjoy better temperature and moisture control as a result. You may also enjoy reduced energy bills as well.
