Batt insulation can be used in a wide range of situations, including new construction homes and pole barns, but it also works great in existing home structures. It acts as both insulation and an air sealant, closing the nooks and crannies that let warm air escape in the summer and drive up your energy bills.
Up to 40% of a building’s energy is lost because of air infiltration. Spray foam seals those gaps, holes, and cracks, lowering monthly utility bills and helping to prevent waste.

Different brands of spray foam are available, and it’s important to choose a variety that’s right for your needs. First, look for a spray that’s low in moisture and has a good R-value, which is the measure of its thermal performance. Next, make sure you choose a brand that doesn’t use the chemicals and gases known as HFCs. These chemicals have a high global warming potential, which means they’re 3,400 times more potent than carbon dioxide on a per-kilo basis.
Closed-cell spray foam is typically the most eco-friendly choice, as it doesn’t contain HFCs and has a lower GWP. You can also find brands of open-cell spray foam that have a lower GWP, but it’s often more expensive than closed-cell options. When choosing spray insulation, be sure to read the label and follow manufacturer instructions for proper use. This includes wearing a mask and using ventilation, as the product can emit fumes that are irritating to the respiratory system.
