How Spray Foam Insulation Improves Indoor Air Quality
Air. You know it. You love it. Hopefully. If you don’t, your insulation might be a part of the problem.
If your home or business is struggling with mold or other air quality killers due to poor insulation, it could cost an arm and a leg to fix. At PolyCon, spray foam insulation installed by our team of seasoned professionals can provide better air quality before the problems start.
1. Air Sealing: The Foundation of Cleaner Air
One of the primary ways spray foam insulation enhances air quality is through its sealing capabilities. Unlike traditional insulation, spray foam expands during application to form an airtight barrier within walls and ceilings. This prevents the entry of allergens like pollen, dust, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which degrade indoor air quality. We install it right the first time
2. Moisture Control: Stopping Mold in Its Tracks
Excess moisture is a leading cause of poor air quality in homes and buildings. Closed-cell spray foam in particular serves as a moisture barrier, significantly reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth. Mold spores can severely impact the air and lead to respiratory problems for occupants. Spray foam insulation blocks out moisture so you retain control of your space’s humidity levels.
3. Temperature Regulation for Better Circulation
Furthermore, temperature inconsistencies can lead to uneven air circulation, which often drags outdoor pollutants inside. With its excellent insulating properties, spray foam helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures. By reducing the reliance on heating and cooling systems, spray foam minimizes the circulation of outdoor pollutants.
4. Reduced Off-Gassing: Cleaner Air from the Start
When professionally installed, modern spray foam insulation is designed to minimize VOC emissions, leaving a healthier indoor environment. Unlike older or poorly installed insulation materials, properly applied spray foam doesn’t contribute harmful off-gassing that could compromise air quality.
