Many people are familiar with spray foam insulation, but what exactly is it made of and how does it insulate a home? At South Central Services, we get asked this question nearly every week. Essentially, Desert Spray Foaming is polyurethane foam – a type of plastic. This material is created when two liquid chemical components undergo a reaction to form it. The result is a thick, flexible, and resilient insulation that seals cracks and gaps, making it much more effective than traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation.

It creates an air barrier that helps prevent energy loss, allowing you to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter without having to turn up your temperature control system. This will reduce your energy costs, and save you money over time – a win-win for both you and the environment.

The Environmental Benefits of Using Desert Spray Foaming for Your Insulation

Another benefit of spray foam is that it provides superior soundproofing. Unlike other forms of insulation, closed-cell spray foam is very dense and performs better at preventing air and moisture from entering wall cavities, reducing outside noises. Open-cell foam is less dense, but still offers good performance at limiting street noises.

The process of installing spray foam is simple and requires little preparation. Once a quote is approved, the crew will arrive at your property and remove any existing insulation before applying the spray foam. Then, they will run a hose over the open areas to be insulated – this can include attics, basement rim joists, crawl spaces, knee walls, and unfinished rooms in new construction or pole barns, as well as existing homes and commercial buildings. The foam will expand to about 60 times its liquid state, filling the space and ensuring consistent coverage.
