Foam Insulation Rocks

This forum is a place for me to share my experience with foam insulation with you, the public. I've built a spray foam insulation company in the past and I'm very passionate about the benefits of foam insulation. What I want to get across more than anything is that foam insulation is, hands down, the best energy efficiency upgrade you can make. Double paned windows are good. Solar is good. Wind turbines are good. Nothing compares to polyurethane spray foam insulation, PERIOD! Solar isn't currently economical and isn't reliable. Wind turbines aren't currently economical and aren't reliable. Polyurethane spray foam insulation is a sound barrier, wind barrier, doesn't decompose in the wall, significantly reduces dust, pollens and allergens in the home and, most importantly, you get what you pay for.

There are so many things to teach you about spray foam insulation, we will tackle a new topic each month. I'm sure the discussions will fast forward us through the list of issues but we will still work our way through a number of issues pertaining to spray foam insulation.

I will not promote a particular spray foam contractor unless you contact me individually. However, I will offer my opinion on actual spray foam manufacturers.

Take what you want from this blog, but understand that I offer this as a service to help everyone learn about the many benefits of spray foam insulation. Some of the topics I intend to cover include:

The benefits of spray foam insulation.
The cost of spray foam insulation.
The drawbacks of spray foam insulation.
How does spray foam insulation impact the construction schedule?
What is wrong with other insulation products?
Which foam manufacturer should I choose?
The installation of spray foam insulation.

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to the discussion.
