Expanding Foam Insulation

Convection is another source of heat transfer when air moves between two spaces. Minimizing or controlling losses via convection is desirable but requires more consideration. Adequate outside air is necessary for breathing, and sufficient air transfer is required to ventilate other gases and odors from interior spaces.

Expanding foam insulation costs about three times more than traditional materials to install initially. Some of this cost will be offset by savings in other areas and materials as mentioned above. However the longterm payback is increased energy savings year after year, with improved comfort and air quality, that justifies the investment in using expanding spray foam insulation.
