Northern Virginia is a two-part liquid that sprays onto a home, filling cracks and crevices to create an airtight seal. It comes in eco-friendly drums that we freely let people take when they’re empty (we turn them into knick-knack furniture). The liquid quickly expands, up to 100x its original volume and reaches all the little spaces between wall studs, wood framing, and foundation slabs. It’s an extremely effective insulator that saves on energy bills, strengthens a home, reduces mold and airborne pollutants, and protects family health from allergens and harmful bacteria.
How Spray Foam Insulation Improves Home Comfort and Energy Savings
It’s important to note that spray foam insulation can be DIY, but the process requires specialized equipment and is difficult to do properly without experience. Professional contractors can use a spray rig to achieve consistent coverage and proper expansion across a project. It’s also recommended that homeowners vacate the home during the spraying and curing process, unless it’s a new construction, or at least close all windows and doors.
The type of spray foam insulation you choose depends on how the space will be used and your budget. Both open and closed cell spray insulation will insulate your home well, but closed cell is denser with stronger resistance to moisture and air movement. It’s important to consult a professional to determine which option is best for you.
