Spray foam insulation is a superhero material that works hard to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer, preventing the air leakage that contributes to high energy bills. Unlike fiberglass batts or cellulose, it seals cracks and crevices in the building envelope with an airtight seal that locks in comfort and cuts energy costs.
It is made of polystyrene, polyisocyanurate or polyurethane and comes in sheets or boards. It has a higher R-value than other types of insulation. It is also durable and resistant to moisture, reducing the risk of mildew and mold growth in your attic. It also blocks odors and reduces noise.
The main issue with spray foam insulation is that it contains isocyanates. Prolonged exposure to isocyanates can cause respiratory irritation and chemical bronchitis. It can also irritate the eyes, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. It can even lead to a rash. It takes an average of eight hours for the isocyanates to be removed from the body.
