How Long Does
Spray Foam Insulation Last?
If you're thinking of
having your home treated with spray foam insulation, you're
probably wondering just how long it will last. Or at
least whether or not you'll need to replace it anytime soon.
Spray foam is an inert
polymer. What exactly is that? A polymer is a
material such as rubber or plastic. Poly means "many"
and "mer" means "part", so a polymer is many parts of
molecules strung together to make a durable product. If
you're familiar with rubber, spray foam is similar to that.
Spray foam, rubber balls,
plastic pens are made from "inert" polymers. "Inert"
just means that they don't change. They don't rot like
wood, rust like metal, or go bad like that food in the back of
your fridge. If you put a toy Lego in your attic, and
checked on it in ten years, it would be the same. In
other words, spray foam is just like many other rubber or
plastic items made from inert polymers. They don't break
down by themselves.
Okay, so what's the real
answer?
The answer is simple.
Spray foam insulation will typically last for the lifetime of
your home itself. If done correctly by an experienced
company, you won't have to replace it.
This is good for you
because:
-
It can reduce your home
energy costs up to 50%
-
It will reduce potential
for mold and mildew
-
It will eliminate a good
bit of outside noise
-
It can make walls of your
home stronger
-
A home insulated with spray
foam usually has a higher resale value.
So you will get all these
benefits and much more for years to come. Best of all,
you won't have to worry about replacing your insulation every
10 years.
