Attic insulation is a premium product that can save homeowners money year-round on energy bills. This is because the air seal created by spray foam allows your furnace and AC to work less hard, reducing energy consumption. This also reduces the amount of carbon dioxide and other harmful gasses in your home, making it healthier to live in.

However, as with all site-applied products, spray foam can release toxic chemicals into the air during and after the application process. These chemicals are called isocyanates and they can cause respiratory irritation, as well as eye and gastrointestinal issues. Long term exposure can even lead to chemical bronchitis.

Spray Foam Insulation: Enhancing Comfort with Georgia Insulation

If you’re considering spray foam insulation, it’s important to find a contractor with a history of excellent workmanship and upstanding business practices. If you choose a company that doesn’t take care of its customers or adhere to industry standards, it could end up costing you in the long run.

A quality installer will make sure that all the steps are taken to properly prepare the area of your home for spray foam insulation installation. They’ll then use a special rig that’s designed to mix and spray the foam with precision. This ensures that the foam is the correct temperature for its application and doesn’t over expand.

After the foam is sprayed, it must be allowed to cure for a short time. During this period, you must wear full face and respiratory protection. The spray foam is non-toxic after it’s cured, but during curing, it can emit a gas that causes blurred vision and breathing difficulties.
