Insulation plays a major role in energy efficiency and comfort in homes and businesses by blocking heat flow and reducing the energy needed for heating and cooling. This lowers energy bills while also reducing environmental impact and providing soundproofing.
Among several types of insulation, spray foam insulation stands out for its sealing properties, eliminating air leaks and improving energy efficiency. With over 65 years of experience serving Lancaster and central Ohio, we’ve seen firsthand the transformative advantages that quality spray foam insulation can bring to residential and commercial properties.

What Is Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam insulation is versatile and made from polyurethane or other materials that expand to fill gaps, cracks and crevices. Applied as a liquid, it transforms into a dense foam that creates an airtight seal, providing better insulation than traditional methods like fiberglass or cellulose.
This method covers even the smallest and hardest-to-reach spaces, reducing air leakage and improving energy efficiency. There are two main types of spray foam insulation: open-cell and closed-cell. Open-cell spray foam is softer and more flexible, making it ideal for interior applications where soundproofing is a priority.
Closed-cell spray foam is denser and stiffer, offering more moisture resistance. This makes it suitable for interior and exterior applications, including areas prone to moisture and structural reinforcement. Both types of spray foam provide benefits over traditional cellulose and fiberglass insulation methods, such as better air sealing, higher energy efficiency and improved durability.
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
- Energy efficiency: Spray foam insulation reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, effectively lowering energy bills associated with heating and cooling systems.
- Air sealing: It prevents drafts and improves indoor air quality by sealing gaps and cracks.
- Moisture barrier: Spray foam insulation is a barrier against moisture, protecting against mold and mildew.
- Durability: It provides long-lasting performance, maintaining its effectiveness over time.
- Soundproofing: Spray foam insulation reduces noise transmission, enhancing sound comfort indoors.
