What is Spray Foam Insulation?
SPF: Spray Polyurethane Foam
Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is a spray-applied plastic that can form a continuous insulation and air-sealing barrier on walls, roofs, around corners, and other surfaces. SPF insulation is known to resist heat transfer extremely well and offers a highly effective solution in reducing unwanted air infiltration.
An Energy Efficiency Solution
As much as 40% of a building’s energy is lost due to air infiltration. Gaps, holes, and air leaks can make energy bills unnecessarily high. Spray foam performs as insulation and an air barrier, closing gaps that let air escape and adding dollars to monthly energy bills. As much as half of the energy used in a home goes to heating and cooling, according to EPA1.
Helps Maintain Optimal HVAC System
An optimal heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system can make your home more energy efficient. With spray foam, HVAC sizing can be reduced by as much as 35%.
Say “So Long” to Air Leaks
Spray Foam Applications can fill air leaks that waste energy and drive utility bills sky-high. Common spots for air leaks that can be sealed with spray foam include the area behind knee walls, attic hatches, wiring holes, plumbing vents, open soffits, recessed lights, furnace flue or duct chase ways, basement rim joists, windows, and doors.
Why Choose Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam prevents moisture and condensation throughout the building, helping prevent mold and mildew.
Applying closed-cell spray foam in the cavities of the walls increases the durability of the wall system because of its ability to conform and adhere to the surface upon which it is sprayed.

How Much Does Spray Foam Insulation Cost?
Pricing Spray Foam Insulation
When pricing Spray Foam Insulation, be sure to take into consideration that the materials are being used on the work. Spray Foam Insulation is no different than any other products like paint, floor coatings, or even windows. Not all brands are the same, not all manufacturers have the same testing requirements, and each has its own performance characteristics.
Each may or may not back the vendors as far as warranty is concerned. All these factors weigh out the pricing and flexibility of quoting. When pricing foam, it’s important to look at all the variables, not just the price. That lowest bid may not be exactly what you think it is in the end.
Careful consideration of the company, equipment, workforce, and chemicals make up the real story! Feel free to ask us anytime about any of the above. Accu-Coat is a full-disclosure, open-book vendor, ready to be vetted as needed to help you make your decision.

Protection from the Elements
The bond that Spray Foam Insulation forms can increase a building’s resistance to wind uplift. During periods of high wind, a building with a spray foam roof generally experiences less damage than a building without SPF. One prominent spray foam technical consultant notes that “when added to the inside of a structure, spray foam ‘glues’ the whole building together, enhancing overall wind and pressurization resistance. SPF insulation adds strength and resilience. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has classified SPF insulation as highly resistant to floodwater damage, saying, “These materials can survive wetting and drying and may be successfully cleaned after a flood to render them free of most harmful pollutants.”
Accu-Coat Has You Covered
Spray Foam and the Indoor Environment SPF can make your home or building more comfortable in many ways. Spray Foam helps minimize airborne sound transmission. As professional Spray Foam Insulation contractors, we’ll seal a building’s air leaks to prevent drafts, creating a more comfortable indoor environment, and providing better indoor temperature control.
Closed-Cell Spray Foam acts as a barrier to water and vapor, helping to prevent condensation and water intrusion. Sealing gaps with Spray Foam can provide a barrier against pollen, dust, and insects, which can be especially helpful in households with allergy sufferers.
Spray Foam Insulation can also be beneficial in fire prevention, as we saw with this client in July 2021.
