At Green Earth Spray Foam, we use high-performance sprayed polyurethane foam to seal your home’s envelope, stop air leakage, and improve indoor climate control and energy efficiency. This premium insulation product is non-toxic, non-irritating and has a low off-gassing time. It is also mold and mildew-resistant, fire-rated, and water-resistant. Unlike fiberglass batt insulation, spray foam can conform to the unique design of your home or structure and fills every nook and cranny to provide superior insulating power.

What is the difference between open and closed-cell foam?

Traditionally, spray foam insulation is made of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hexafluorocarbons (HCFCs). While these chemicals don’t have the same global warming potential as carbon dioxide, they are still 3,400 times more potent than carbon dioxide on a per kilo basis. However, many spray foam insulation products do not contain HFCs. They include BASF Walltite CM01 and Genyk Boreal Nature, which are both produced using blowing agents with a lower global warming potential than HFCs.

The most important characteristic of spray foam is its ability to create a custom airtight layer within your building’s envelope that separates the exterior from the interior. This feature significantly reduces convective heat transfer from the interior to the exterior during heating months and vice versa during cooling.

While there are many benefits of using spray foam insulation, homeowners should be aware that if the spray foam is identified in a property valuation, it may affect its market value. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors has warned that the presence of spray foam insulation could lead to mortgage lenders refusing mortgage applications for properties with such insulation or demanding an independent specialist report before approving the loan.
