If you are looking for qualities that other types of insulation can't touch, you need spray foam. More specifically, we're talking about closed-cell polyurethane spray foam.
R value. Poly spray foam has a higher R-value per inch that any other commonly used insulation —R-6.2 or higher, depending on the formulation.
Air barrier: Spray foam air-seals and insulates in one step. Its ability to expand and fill gaps and cracks make it an ideal air-sealing material, and it stays in place because of its super-adhesive qualities.
Waterproof: Moisture will soak its way through fiberglass and cellulose insulation, but polyurethane spray foam stops it cold. Its closed cell structure means that water can't migrate from one tiny cell or bubble to a neighboring one.
Foolproof: Missing insulation of just 5% of an insulated area can reduce insulation performance by as much as 48%? It's very difficult to install fiberglass insulation perfectly, it can leave voids. But spray foam's expanding characteristics eliminate the possibility of voids. And once the foam cures,it does not shift like fiberglass.
Spray Foam Insulation Provides a More Energy Efficient Home! Buildings with spray foam insulation often perform 30-50% better than traditional insulation materials. Creating an air barrier with spray foam is the smart solution for those concerned about energy efficiency or those tired of their cooling systems not keeping pace with the summer heat. The insulation virtually eliminates the largest source of energy loss in the average home – the 30 to 40% typically lost through air leakage. With traditional insulation materials, HVAC professionals typically need to install larger units which cost more to install and operate.
