By far, the best and most efficient green product is polyurethane spray foam insulation.

This is a vegetable oil based substance that is sprayed in, and then expands and hardens. It is the most efficient way of insulating a house because, as it expands, it fills all the cracks and holes completely.

In addition to providing excellent insulation, it is the only way to keep water and moisture completely out of your home. It is effective at keeping out pests as well, and is naturally fire resistant unlike other kinds of insulation.

Spray foam is environmentally friendly and saves homeowners anywhere from 20% to 40% of their utility bill every month, depending on where they live. This saves you money, and it also helps save the planet.

Toolbase.org, the housing industry’s resource for technical information on building products and materials, says:

“Sprayed foam insulation is typically easier to install, safer to the environment, and more energy efficient than traditional batt insulation.”

Expanding foam insulation is recommended by experts for an energy efficient and environmentally friendly insulation product.

Cozy air pockets in standard insulation materials invites in our creepy crawly friends. Nobody wants a a community of bugs living in the walls. But bugs can squeeze in anywhere, and unless you have spray foam insulation that fills all the cracks and holes in your foundation, you will find them living with you.

From U.S. Department of Energy:

“Liquid foam insulation materials can be sprayed, foamed-in-place, injected, or poured. Their ability to fill even the smallest cavities gives them twice the R-value per inch than traditional batt insulation.”

Again, it’s the expanding that fills in all those spaces.

Expanding foam does what regular materials simply cannot do; it fits exactly the crevices, cracks, and gaps around the studs, pipes, and everything in the basement, walls and attic where it is installed.

What you don’t know about mold, mildew and other nasties can cause you major health problems. Few people understand really how bad it is to have mold in your home. Any moisture or water in the home can be a breeding ground for mold, and traditional materials just doesn’t keep the water out.

It is particularly easy for water to leak into basements and form permanent puddles in out of the way places, which is where mold and mildew thrive.

Apex Foam’s spray foam insulation works excellently well against water and moisture because it expands to fit the space exactly. It doesn’t chip and crack over time. This is the leading cause of mold in basements; it isn’t that the insulation was improperly installed or inadequate, but that it cracked over time. These cracks are how moisture gets in.
