When building or remodeling, insulation can make or break your home’s efficiency. While fiberglass and cellulose are common choices, spray foam insulation offers superior energy savings, durability, and protection. Here’s why it’s worth considering.
1. Better Air Sealing & Lower Energy Bills
Traditional insulation can leave gaps, allowing air to escape. Spray foam expands to fill every crevice, creating a tight seal that:
- Reduces energy loss and keeps temperatures stable.
- Lowers heating & cooling costs (many homeowners see savings of 20-40%).
- Blocks allergens, dust, and moisture for cleaner indoor air.
2. Moisture & Mold Resistance
Fiberglass can absorb moisture, leading to mold and wood rot. Closed-cell spray foam repels water, helping to:
- Prevent mold growth.
- Strengthen walls and roofs.
- Reduce costly repairs from moisture damage.
3. Roof Encapsulation
Instead of just insulating the attic floor, spray foam under the roof deck helps:
- Regulate attic temperatures, reducing HVAC strain.
- Prevent heat buildup in summer and retain warmth in winter.
- Enhance overall home efficiency for long-term savings.
4. A Long-Term Investment
While spray foam costs more upfront, it lasts longer and performs better than traditional options. It can:
- Increase home value.
- Extend HVAC system lifespan.
- Require little to no maintenance.
The Bottom Line?
Spray foam is one of the best insulation choices for energy efficiency, durability, and home comfort. Thinking about upgrading? Contact Native Construction today to find the right solution for your home!
