Spray foam insulation expands upon application, filling gaps and creating an airtight seal, which offers superior insulation and moisture control. Fiberglass batt insulation, on the other hand, is pre-formed and fits between studs or joists, providing basic thermal protection and soundproofing but may not seal gaps as effectively as spray foam.

Yes, spray foam insulation tends to have a higher upfront cost compared to fiberglass batt insulation. However, spray foam is more energy-efficient and can result in long-term savings through lower heating and cooling costs.

Spray foam insulation can last 25 years or more when properly installed, as it doesn’t sag or deteriorate over time. It’s a durable, long-lasting solution for energy efficiency.

While fiberglass batt insulation can be a DIY project for those with the right skills, it’s important to ensure it is properly installed for maximum efficiency. Gaps, compression, or improper fitting can reduce its effectiveness.

Yes, when professionally installed, spray foam insulation is safe and non-toxic. It’s important to have a certified installer apply the foam to ensure safety and proper ventilation during installation.

Yes, fiberglass batt insulation provides some soundproofing benefits by reducing noise transmission between rooms, though spray foam insulation can offer even better soundproofing and air sealing.

Spray foam is ideal for attics, crawl spaces, basements, and wall cavities, offering superior sealing and insulation performance in hard-to-reach areas.

The best insulation for your home depends on factors such as your budget, energy efficiency goals, and the areas you need insulated. A professional insulation contractor can assess your home and recommend the best solution for your needs.

Yes, spray foam is an excellent moisture barrier, helping to prevent mold growth and water damage by sealing gaps where moisture might enter, especially in basements and attics.

Spray foam insulation can typically be installed in a day, depending on the size of the project. Fiberglass batt insulation may take a little longer, especially if it requires precise fitting or if multiple areas are being insulated.
