Spray Foam Insulation
Our spray foam insulation creates airtight seals that dramatically improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort. Using advanced open-cell and closed-cell formulations, we address thermal bridging and air leakage in residential and commercial buildings. The material expands to fill gaps, providing continuous insulation that outperforms traditional fiberglass while reducing noise transmission and moisture infiltration.
Open-Cell Insulation
This cost-effective solution offers superior air sealing and sound dampening for interior applications. Our open-cell foam maintains flexibility to accommodate structural movement while achieving R-values up to 4.5 per inch. Ideal for wall cavities and attics, it reduces energy costs by eliminating drafts and prevents allergen infiltration through continuous coverage.
Closed-Cell Insulation
Closed-cell foam provides structural reinforcement alongside exceptional thermal performance with R-values reaching 7.5 per inch. As a complete air and moisture barrier, it prevents condensation in wall assemblies and strengthens buildings against extreme weather. This solution meets rigorous building codes for exterior applications and unvented attic spaces.
Infrared Thermography
Our infrared scanning service identifies hidden insulation gaps and thermal inefficiencies through precision heat mapping. This non-invasive diagnostic tool detects air leaks and moisture intrusion in existing structures, enabling targeted improvements that optimize energy performance. The technology supports quality control during new installations to ensure complete coverage.
Fireproofing
We apply code-compliant fireproofing solutions that protect structural elements while maintaining insulation integrity. Our DC 315 thermal barrier paint meets 15-minute fire resistance requirements without compromising indoor air quality. These low-VOC coatings provide critical protection for exposed foam in commercial and residential applications while complying with CHPS and IECC standards.

Questions
What makes spray foam insulation superior to traditional fiberglass?
Spray foam creates an airtight seal that prevents energy loss through gaps and cracks, unlike fiberglass which can settle and leave voids. It also provides structural reinforcement and reduces noise transmission.
How does closed-cell foam differ from open-cell foam insulation?
Closed-cell foam has a higher R-value per inch, acts as a moisture barrier, and strengthens structures. Open-cell foam is more flexible, offers better soundproofing, and costs less while still providing excellent air sealing.
Can spray foam insulation help reduce energy bills?
Yes, properly installed spray foam can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50% by eliminating air leaks and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures year-round.
Is spray foam insulation environmentally friendly?
Our products use ultra-low GWP blowing agents and contain renewable materials. They improve energy efficiency, reduce fossil fuel consumption, and meet strict environmental certifications like Greenguard Gold.
How long does spray foam insulation last?
Spray foam insulation lasts the lifetime of the building. It maintains performance indefinitely without settling or degrading, and Icynene-Lapolla provides a lifetime transferable warranty.
What areas do you service?
We serve Southern New Hampshire inside the 495 Loop, eastern Massachusetts including Cape Cod, Rhode Island, and Maine, providing comprehensive insulation solutions for residential and commercial clients.
