Whether you’re building a new home or doing an insulation upgrade on your existing house, choosing the right spray foam thickness is critical for achieving maximum energy efficiency. Spray foam is a highly effective thermal insulation that creates an air barrier to minimize heat transfer. It also provides an acoustic benefit, soundproofing a room.
When correctly applied, spray foam insulation increases your home’s R-value, which measures how well it prevents conductive and convective heat transfer. Closed-cell spray foam can achieve an R-value up to 300% higher than fiberglass insulation, meaning it’s more effective at stopping unwanted air movement in homes.
