Allstate Spray Foam Insulation offers a great value in terms of home energy savings. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system uses half of the energy in a home, and by adding more insulation, homeowners can decrease this usage and save on energy costs.
In addition to its thermal properties, spray foam provides a strong barrier that reduces the flow of moisture and air. This will help to prevent mold, mildew and other harmful contaminants that can infest a home. In addition, spray foam will deter pests like rats from nesting in the home because of its impermeable nature.

Unlike traditional fiberglass insulation, which is comprised of a loose fill and blown by hand or machine, spray foam insulation can be applied to any open cavity like attics, crawl spaces and rim joists. In addition, the insulation can be sprayed in recessed light boxes and around windows and doors. The insulation will also fill the cracks and crevices of a home or pole barn.
The two main types of spray foam insulation are closed cell and open-cell. Closed-cell is more dense, has a higher R-value (6 per inch) and offers greater resistance against heat transfer than open-cell. However, closed-cell does allow some vapor to pass through it (5-10 perms), so it may need to be paired with a vapor barrier in certain applications.
While spray foam can be installed by the homeowner, a professional insulation contractor is usually the best choice. This is because the product expands quickly, and it must be applied in even layers to avoid sagging or swelling. Furthermore, the spray contains chemicals that create fumes during curing. Therefore, homeowners should wear full face and respiratory protection when applying the insulation.
