How Spray Foam Reduces Drafts Effectively

 Attic Insulation source of discomfort and energy loss in homes. Spray foam insulation addresses this issue by expanding to fill cracks, gaps, and voids within walls and ceilings. Unlike traditional insulation, spray foam provides both thermal resistance and air sealing in a single application.

When applied correctly, spray foam forms a continuous barrier that blocks uncontrolled airflow. This reduces cold spots during winter and limits heat infiltration during summer. Sealing rim joists, attic penetrations, and wall cavities significantly improves overall building envelope performance.

Energy efficiency principles outlined by the U.S. Department of Energy emphasize air sealing as a critical step in reducing drafts. Spray foam excels in this role due to its expanding properties and strong adhesion. Combined with proper ventilation strategies, it enhances comfort and efficiency.

Improving Comfort and Efficiency

Reduced drafts lead to more consistent indoor temperatures and lower heating and cooling demands. HVAC systems operate more efficiently when conditioned air remains inside the home. This translates to lower utility costs and improved system longevity.

Spray foam’s dual-function capability makes it a powerful solution for addressing drafts. Proper installation ensures lasting performance and measurable energy savings.
