The Difference Between Spray Insulation and Injection Foam Insulation
Another popular form of insulation on the market that some contractors use is spray form. Formally called Spray Polyurethane Foam or SPF, is a high-density spray that is applied to walls which expands as it settles to insulate walls. It is often noted as the ‘cheap’ option for insulating a wall, but it does come with its disadvantages. First, spray foam requires open walls in order to be applied correctly. This can often mean displacing your family for a certain amount of time. Tripolymer Injection Foam insulation, on the other hand, can be applied through the wall using small holes under your siding. This is a convenience that spray foam simply cannot offer.
Another difference between the two is how they stand the test of time. When it comes to spray foam, the insulation appears to seal airflow between the studs of a house’s structure. However, after a couple of years of settling and the house shifting, gaps as large as an inch can start to appear between the studs and the insulation as well as the wall and the insulation. All this space is free room for heated or cooled air to escape from your house. With Tripolymer Injection Foam insulation, the time to set takes only 25 seconds and the space that is filled is permanently insulated for years to come.
