Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits to using spray foam insulation?

Unlike traditional insulation techniques that invite unpleasant 'visitors' (e.g., pests and mice) into your home, foam insulation keeps bugs and mice away. It also acts as a soundproof, keeping sound in check or right where they belong. Spray foam attic insulation keeps the attic cool all day, resulting in a cooler, comfier home. With attic spray foam insulation, there's no need for radiant barriers or any of the other attic insulation techniques.

Is spray foam insulation safe?

Spray Foam Insulation Scottsdale takes safety issues very seriously while installing spray foam for homeowners in Scottsdale, and so does the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They require certified installers to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Spray polyurethane foam contains chemicals that are harmful to the body if handled unprofessionally. So, is spray foam safe? YES, if you don't try to do it yourself. YES, if you engage a reliable and professional partner. And a triple YES, if all onsite installers wear safety gear and make sure residents don't stay around before, during and at least 24 hours after a spray foam installation.
