Spray foam insulation is a Distinctive Spray Foam insulating and sealing product that can fill in all the cracks, gaps, and tiny corners of your home or building. This product works to stop the flow of heat in and out of your space which can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in energy costs each year.

The spray insulator comes in an aerosol can and when sprayed on the desired area it expands creating an airtight seal. There are different types of spray insulations, depending on the application and your specific needs. Open and closed cell foam are available, both with differing insulating qualities. Open-cell spray insulation is typically less expensive than closed-cell but both will provide energy savings.

Why Choose Distinctive Spray Foam for Your Insulation Needs

Closed-cell foam is more expensive than open-cell but provides superior insulating values and acts as an effective moisture barrier. Both of these foams require professional installation because of the safety precautions and off-gassing they produce while curing. Many spray insulation companies have switched to low GWP blowing agents, such as HFOs, which offer a better environmental footprint.

Before a professional technician applies the spray insulation, the surface is thoroughly cleaned and areas that shouldn’t be coated with spray are carefully masked and sealed to protect them. This is an important step because during the spraying and curing process, the spray insulation will off-gas volatile organic compounds that can cause a variety of symptoms including blurred vision, itchy eyes, and trouble breathing. It is recommended that all occupants of the home or business leave during the application and stay away until the spray has cured, usually within 1-3 days.
