Proseal Spray Foam Insulation
Proseal Spray Foam is a popular home improvement project that can help save energy costs and seal the cracks and crevices that let air, moisture, and bugs in. While it’s an upfront investment, it will pay off in the long run with lower heating and cooling bills. But it’s important to understand the pros and cons of this type of insulation before making a decision.
Spray Foam is a spray-on insulator made of polyurethane or polyisocyanurate and contains tiny pockets or “cells” that create an air barrier and make it difficult for heat or sound to penetrate. These properties also make it a good choice for basements, crawl spaces and exterior applications.
Understanding the Cost-Effectiveness of Proseal Spray Foam Insulation
When properly installed by a trained contractor, spray foam insulation can be a cost-effective option. However, it is important to remember that the chemicals used in this type of insulation are volatile and can cause poor indoor air quality. This is especially true if the product is improperly combined or applied, or if it is not cured properly.
The best spray foam insulation will use low-VOC chemicals, such as those from Icynene. These products are also a great choice for environmentally-conscious builders who want to minimize their environmental impact.
Whether to invest in spray foam insulation or not depends on the size and complexity of a given project, as well as the homeowner’s skill set. While DIY kits are available for small projects, it is often more cost-effective and easier to achieve consistent coverage and proper expansion when working with a professional.
