Attic insulation is a closed-cell product that creates a seal in areas where heat loss and air movement are common – basement rim joist, crawl spaces, overhangs (or cantilevers), knee walls and bonus rooms. It stops air and moisture from escaping your home, making it more comfortable and energy efficient. It also acts as a barrier to allergens, which can help those with asthma and other respiratory conditions.
It’s sprayed on-site as liquid and expands to fill in all the nooks and crannies of your home. This makes it extremely flexible and can be sprayed into hard to reach places or complicated structures such as domed ceilings. Spray foam provides a more complete insulating value than traditional fiberglass batts as it doesn’t leave gaps for cold air or water vapour to penetrate.

However, if not installed correctly spray foam can lead to issues with leaks and moisture problems which may require expensive remedial works and render your property unmortgageable. It is important to check that your installer is fully trained and qualified to work with this type of product.
Also it is advisable to check with your mortgage provider as some are refusing to lend on properties that have spray foam roof insulation installed. This is because if the roof is spray foam fitted it prevents them from being able to carry out a visual inspection and may necessitate costly and time-consuming remedial works to be carried out before they will approve a mortgage.
