URETHANE SPRAY FOAM

Urethane spray foam is the biggest innovation in the insulation industry since the introduction of fiberglass in the 1950s. With this simple and effective insulation technique, we are able to create more energy-efficient and comfortable homes, drastically reducing homeowners’ heating costs.

Urethane spray foam is a much more efficient alternative to traditional insulation. As a plastic, it maintains its properties far longer than other techniques- it will not settle, compress, or deteriorate. This translates to future time and cost savings for you.

Modern urethane spray foam is made by two components that expand to adhere to any clean dry surface. Unlike cellulose and fiberglass insulations, urethane fills the cracks and penetrations of the building. Certainly, it seals off heat-sucking air transfer, but it also prevents airborne dust and pollen into the home. Many insects and pests are deterred by the sealing properties of urethane spray foam.
