Foam Spray Insulation vs Batt & Roll Insulation

Which insulation is best for your home? There are several different types of popular insulation, like spray foam and traditional batt & roll insulation. Finding the right foam insulation company to winterize your home saves you significant energy costs during the cold Toronto months. What is the difference between foam spray insulation and traditional batt & roll insulation? And which should you choose for your home or business? 

 

Enjoy Cost Savings with Foam Spray Insulation

Foam spray insulation is often less expensive than batt and roll insulation. Why? Foam spray insulation can be applied much faster than traditional batt and roll insulation. A reliable foam insulation company will save time in labour costs as well. Additionally, foam spray insulation has an increased R-Value, meaning that it is more energy efficient overall than other forms of insulation. Save more money with both installation and energy costs with spray foam. 

 

Batt and roll-type products require a considerable amount of time to apply due to their cumbersome shape and need for trimming before installation. Foam spray, on the other hand, is applied quickly. This application process does not need complex tooling or cutting skills. 

 

Homeowners and business owners alike from the quick installation and low-cost labour. A reliable professional will apply the insulation quickly and know how to find those hard-to-reach cracks in leaky attics and basements. 

 

Which Type of Insulation has a Better Moisture Barrier? 

Foam spray insulation provides an excellent air/moisture barrier. The foam prevents air or moisture infiltration into the building’s interior – something that batt and roll insulation lack altogether. An air/moisture barrier significantly reduces your HVAC requirements. Save on your yearly heating and cooling costs. 

 

While both form types are highly water resistant, foam spray outperforms in wet climate areas due to its dense composition when cured properly. Foam spray is wholly impermeable from any water seepage from outside sources like heavy rains or snowmelt-off weather patterns within the GTA. With weather conditions worsening over the next several years, protecting your home or business with high-quality water-resistant insulation will be key to saving mould growth and water damage. 

 

Which Home Insulation has Better Adhesion?

Foam spray installations also have greater adhesion capabilities than standard methods like batt or rolls. They maintain their effectiveness over time regardless of season changes or drastic temperature shifts without succumbing to wear or eventual breakdown in performance quality. This is especially seen in humid climates where heavy wetness generally affects adjacent materials prone to mould & mildew. Coastal climates and areas that are prone to inclement weather benefit from spray foam installation.
