Did you know that 9 out of 10 homes in the U.S. are under-insulated? At Turner Homes, we’re passionate about offering solutions that boost your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. Spray foam insulation is one of the most powerful ways to do just that. Not only does it keep your home at a comfortable temperature year-round, but it can also save you money. Let’s dive into the top five reasons spray foam insulation is a great option for homeowners to consider.

1. Year-Round Comfort

Spray foam insulation acts like a thermal blanket for your home, forming a barrier that keeps your living space cozy no matter the weather outside.

It prevents air infiltration, improves indoor air quality, and even cuts down on noise pollution. Whether it’s sweltering summer heat or freezing winter temperatures, spray foam helps you stay comfortable without constantly adjusting the thermostat.

2. Long-Lasting Durability

Unlike traditional insulation that may sag or compress over time, spray foam expands on application, filling every crack and crevice. It bonds directly to surfaces, creating a seamless, long-lasting barrier.

This resilience means it won’t shrink or lose effectiveness, even in extreme temperatures. Plus, spray foam adds an extra layer of protection for your roof, resisting moisture and helping it withstand high winds.

3. Climate-Controlled Air

Ever heard of the “stack effect”? It’s the natural tendency for warm air to rise and escape through the attic, leaving your home less comfortable and your HVAC system working overtime.

Spray foam insulation seals the attic, preventing this air loss and allowing your HVAC unit to run more efficiently. This means less strain on your system and lower energy consumption, keeping your home just the right temperature all year long.

4. Long-Term Savings

Traditional insulation materials, like batt and blown-in options, don’t always do a great job at sealing gaps and cracks. This can leave your home vulnerable to energy loss. Spray foam sticks to your home’s framing, filling in those hard-to-reach areas and sealing your home tightly.

According to the EPA, homeowners can save up to 15% on their heating and cooling costs by using spray foam, thanks to its ability to prevent air leaks through openings the attic and outer walls.

5. Energy Efficiency

When it comes to insulation, not all materials are created equal. Spray foam has one of the highest R-values (thermal resistance ratings) in the industry, meaning it’s exceptionally good at resisting conductive heat flow.

This results in fewer drafts, less temperature fluctuation, and a much more energy efficient home. By reducing air leaks and controlling heat transfer, spray foam lowers your carbon footprint and helps you use less energy — great for both the environment and your wallet.
