What are the Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation?

Benefits of spray foam insulation For spray foam specialists like Great Northern Insulation, one of the most common questions is if spray foam is right for the job. It’s a question that is asked by homeowners, homebuilders, and contractors alike. And for GNI, the answer is usually the same for all - spray foam has proven to be the very best approach to insulation, as part of the overall “insulation system” that’s installed.

For GNI installers, the benefits of spray foam are proven. Professionally installed, the application improves energy efficiency throughout a home (or facility). The HVAC equipment operates more efficiently; heating and cooling cycles are far better balanced; and heating and air conditioning bills are measurably reduced. It’s an application that does more than any comparable product.

For experts in the insulation business, spray foam insulation is considered to be superior when compared with other products and installations. For many professionals, it’stheir product-of-choice for attics, roofs, basements and garages. This is because a spray foam application delivers a number of benefits in a single application. Simply put, no other product can quite compare.

Great Northern Insulation recommends spray foam insulation for a variety of projects (including under floors and inside walls). The application seals a space airtight. It installs better R-Value than other products. And it stops both air movement and moisture collection throughout. Finally, finished install contributes to the structural strength of the area where the foam is applied.

Professionally installed, spray foam envelops all the openings, holes and cracks in a given space, including “hard-to-reach” areas that conventional products cannot accommodate. It serves as an air barrier and vapour barrier at one time, and effectively insulates spaces where moisture and air are problematic (attic and basement). Best of all, everything is achieved with one application.

When it comes to spray foam insulation, the team at Great Northern Insulation are the experts. Products and installations are warrantied, and customer satisfaction is primary to every project. Above all, GNI is committed to doing the work right the first time around.
