Where\ Should You Install Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation is a popular choice among homeowners for its effectiveness in keeping homes comfortable and energy-efficient. However, it's important to know where to apply spray foam insulation to ensure maximum effectiveness and avoid any potential issues. In this blog post, we'll outline the areas where spray foam insulation is typically applied in a home.

Attic

The attic is one of the primary areas in a home where heat can escape in the winter and enter in the summer. Spray foam insulation is often applied to the underside of the roof deck in the attic to prevent heat from escaping through the roof. This is known as "roofline" or "unvented" attic insulation. It can also be applied to the walls and floors of the attic space to create a thermal barrier.

Walls

Spray foam insulation can be applied to the walls of a home to create a continuous air barrier that prevents heat loss and air infiltration. It can be applied to both exterior and interior walls, as well as to the rim joist (the area where the walls meet the foundation) to prevent air leaks and improve energy efficiency.

Crawlspace

A crawlspace is an area below the main level of a home that is typically accessed by crawling. This area can be a major source of energy loss if not properly insulated. Spray foam insulation can be applied to the walls and rim joist of the crawlspace to prevent heat loss and air infiltration.

Basement

Like the crawlspace, the basement is an area that can be a significant source of energy loss if not properly insulated. Spray foam insulation can be applied to the walls and rim joist of the basement to prevent heat loss and air infiltration.

Rim Joist

The rim joist is the area where the walls meet the foundation of a home. This area can be a major source of air leaks if not properly insulated. Spray foam insulation can be applied to the rim joist to prevent air leaks and improve energy efficiency.
