How Much Does Spray Foam Insulation Cost?

Spray Foam Insulation, as you probably know, is the process of getting a home insulated by spraying foam insulation material onto surfaces that are susceptible to having cracks, crevices or holes in them. It is of two types, Open-Cell and Closed-Cell. According to The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors, spray foam insulation is able to last for over 8 decades. 

There is no need for Ventilation in attics that are spray foam insulated, given that sealed attics with roof sheathing having spray foam applied beneath needs to be airtight. These are sealed from the outside, physically as well as thermally.

How Much Does Spray Foam Insulation Cost?

Spray Foam Insulation Cost UK depends on various factors, such as:

  • The total surface area that is to be insulated
  • Type of spray foam insulation material that you are going for, Open-Cell or Closed-Cell
  • Thickness and volume of the material being used for insulation
  • Charges of the contractor (insulation contractor expenses can vary widely, even in the same locality)

The price of Closed-Cell spray foam insulation is more than that of Open-Cell, but there are plenty of benefits that justify the higher cost. It stays unaffected by mold, for instance, as noticed by most of the mold consulting companies in the UK. It has been found that when there is an installation of spray foam in any home, any instance of infestation can be avoided in future – forever. When loft and other spaces are sealed with this kind of insulation, it prevents any entry of moisture – which is necessary for the growth of molds. That is exactly the reason why foam insulation should be used.
