Unlike fiberglass insulation (the pink stuff in older homes) that is typically installed in attics, crawl spaces and rim joist in new construction or pole barns, spray foam can be sprayed directly onto walls. The process uses a special rig that is attached to a truck and is controlled by techs inside the rig who ensure the right chemicals are mixed with air and sprayed in the correct order. Once applied, the foam expands and fills the area and dries creating an effective barrier against energy loss and outside noise.

Spray foam insulation prevents air leaks which can drastically reduce monthly heating and cooling bills. It also creates a vapor barrier and seals out contaminants like mold and dust, making a home or office healthier for the inhabitants.
During the bitter Midwestern winters, spray foam helps to keep buildings warm and their occupants comfortable. Foam insulation reduces the amount of work required for HVAC systems, which helps to prolong the lifespan and lower maintenance costs.
Many homeowners and builders are surprised to learn that energy-efficient spray foam is not only environmentally friendly, but also significantly less expensive than other forms of insulation. Many property owners find their energy costs are cut up to 48% a month after the installation of spray foam.
