During the spray process, the foam expands and bonds to the substrate, creating a sealed air barrier to reduce energy costs. During the colder months, spray foam insulation helps keep heat inside your home. It also provides a tight seal to reduce the flow of air from outside, helping to control mold, pests and allergens.
Typically, spray foam contains a mix of petroleum based toxic chemicals including isocyanates and polyols with a sprinkling of blowing agents and additives like toxic flame retardants. The tiny percentage of ‘greenwashing’ plant-based polyols is a poor excuse to market this product and is a very small fraction of the total mix.
The Long-Term Savings of Spray Foam Insulation
EcoHome Spray Foam are powerful irritant to the eyes, lungs, and gastrointestinal tracts. They are known to cause chemical sensitization in the workplace and can lead to asthma attacks, even if exposure is only from the smallest amount of spray. This is why professional spray foam installers wear full safety equipment, including respirators and face masks.
When used improperly, spray foam can result in moisture trapped behind the insulation which causes wood rot, fungus and mold growth. This is why a thorough inspection and proper installation are key to ensuring the longevity of your investment.
