Many Baltimore homes and commercial buildings are under insulated. This allows warm air to escape and cool air to leak in, increasing energy bills and putting a strain on HVAC systems. Spray foam insulation works as both an insulator and air sealant, closing gaps where valuable energy is being lost and helping to keep costs down.

Aside from reducing energy bills, Spray Foam of Baltimore also creates a comfortable environment in your home or building. It helps regulate temperatures, keeping them warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. It also helps reduce noise, which is especially important for workplaces and schools that need to maintain a calm working atmosphere.

The initial cost of spray foam may be higher than traditional forms of insulation, but it will typically pay for itself through energy savings within a few years. It also enhances a building’s structural integrity and provides a barrier against moisture, rodents and pests. In addition, spray foam insulation is environmentally friendly and can help reduce carbon footprints.

While spray foam is an excellent choice for new construction, it can also be installed in existing homes and buildings. In fact, on average, homeowners who switch to spray foam save 20% on their monthly energy bills.

Depending on your needs, there are two different kinds of spray foam, open and closed cell. Each is made from a combination of chemicals that react and expand instantly to fill the space. Both spray foams insulate, but close cell offers a water-vapor barrier and is the better choice if you live in an area with extreme seasonal temperature changes.

When installing spray foam, it is critical to have a professional contractor that has experience working with this material. Our Koala Insulation professionals are certified to work with this product and take all necessary precautions during the application process. Spray foam is safe for human contact when properly installed, and will remain in place and reduce energy bills for decades to come.

Can spray foam be used in walls & roofs?

Yes, both residential and commercial wall insulation and roof insulation can be sprayed with spray foam. It is the best option for insulating exterior walls and attics. When installed correctly by a trained professional, it will be a long-lasting, durable, air-tight barrier that keeps your energy bills low and your home or building safe from moisture, rodents and insects.

In addition to insulating the walls and roofs of buildings, spray foam can be applied to a building’s interior. It can be sprayed in attics, crawl spaces, basements and other hard to reach areas. It acts as both a sound barrier and an insulator, and will help keep your building at the perfect temperature for productivity.
