Construction Advantages
of Foam Insulation

Knowledgeable builders prefer foam insulation to fiberglass and other insulation materials because of its ease of application and superior performance.

Potential to Reduce Lumber Costs
Enables contractors to meet R-Value requirements with smaller dimension lumber.

Reduces Siding Costs
A₂O spray foam reduces or even eliminates need for exterior weatherproofing or supplemental insulation.

Requires Less Time to Apply
AO / A₂O spray foams seal and insulate in one application.

Requires Less Labor
AO / A₂O spray foams requires less labor to install than sheet goods.

Perfect Fit Every Time
AO / A₂O spray foams conform to irregular shapes and slopes.

Perfect Detailing in Hard-to-Reach Places
AO / A₂O spray foams allow easy detailing around penetrations such as pipes, windows, doors and sheathing fasteners.

No Shrinkage
AO / A₂O spray foams do not shrink.

No Drying
AO / A₂O spray foams require no drying time.

Easy Removal
AO / A₂O spray foams are easy to remove.

No Harmful Emissions
AO / A₂O spray foams do not emit anything harmful to workers, residents or the planet.

No Sagging
AO / A₂O spray foams do not sag- even over time.

No Framing Distortion
AO / A₂O spray foams do not distort framing.

No Compacting
AO / A₂O spray foams do not settle or compact in cavities.

Reduces HVAC Requirements
AO / A₂O spray foams’ excellent insulation keeps heated or cooled air in the building and blocks outside air from coming in, vastly reducing the size and cost of HVAC equipment needed to control temperature at comfortable levels.

New Construction or Remodeling
Spray foam installation is primarily installed in new construction and remodeling, it can also retrofit the attic and subfloor systems in existing buildings.

Weather Resistant
A₂O spray foams used in roofing provide excellent weather resistant insulation, protecting the building from the dangers of humidity and extreme temperature conditions.
