New Generation Spray Foam is a powerful barrier that restricts air leakage, which is one of the most significant sources of energy loss. This makes it a great solution for new construction projects, attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists, and it helps homes and businesses save thousands of dollars in energy costs over the lifetime of the property.

However, homeowners should keep in mind that this type of insulation is not as effective at preventing moisture or humidity from entering into walls and ceilings, as other insulation types like cellulose or fiberglass. For this reason, many designers and builders prefer to stay away from this product, and recommend that customers choose alternatives such as cellulose or mineral wool.

The Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation with New Generation Spray Foam

Some builders and designers also dislike spray foam due to its ingredients, which are derived from petrochemicals. Because of this, they would rather specify a product that uses natural blowing agents and stays away from products made with petrochemicals.

Other concerns with spray foam include its flammability and its ability to trap moisture in a home or building. This is particularly important in cold climates where moisture can cause mold and mildew and lead to costly repairs or replacement of sheathing, wood framing, or roof decking.

In addition, the fact that spray foam insulation doesn’t allow for easy access for a visual inspection of the roof can be problematic for homeowners who want to sell or refinance their home in the future. According to The Sun, some mortgage providers are refusing loans on properties with spray foam, and others will only approve the loan after a structural survey has been completed.
