How AccuSeal Spray Foam Insulation Works

attic insulation is applied to a surface where it expands to fill in gaps and nooks and crannies that are hard to reach with traditional fiberglass batts. This makes it an excellent insulator that blocks conductive, radiant and convective heat transfer. It also reduces sound transfer. It’s so effective that many people who have had it installed report sleeping better during winter nights and staying cooler during summer nights.

Soundproofing with Spray Foam

Whether you choose open or closed cell spray foam, it adheres to the surface it’s sprayed on and expands to fit in tiny spaces that other types of insulation can’t reach. It can be sprayed against wood, metal, concrete and brick. It’s important to verify what substrates are suitable with your installer because the climate zone you live in will impact whether closed or open cell is the best choice.

It can be applied to existing or new construction. Before insulating, the crew will clear the area to be sprayed and ensure it’s free of dust, dirt and other contaminants. They’ll then use a specialized rig to apply a layer of polyurethane to the substrate. It’s important that the spray foam is mixed correctly, as it has to be formulated with specific blowing agents to have the right properties for each application.

When sprayed, the foam expands to 30-60 times its liquid volume and seals gaps, air infiltration and other areas that allow heat loss. This can save homeowners significant annual energy costs. It’s so effective that many can recoup the cost of the installation through lower utility bills.
