Have you been reading up about spray foam insulation for months, and are wondering how it can save you so much money?

And is that savings worth the price difference between it and traditional batting?

Here is the skinny on how spray foam gives you a fat wallet, and how Foam it Green can work with any budget.

You don’t have to hire expensive contractors, you don’t have to take the day off from work to let a team of workers into your home, and you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg. You also don’t have to settle for the less-effective fiberglass option.

With a quick read through this post, you will discover how you can get fantastic results with spray foam, no matter what your budget is.

How to Get Your Money-Saving Insulation Project Started.

1. Prioritize. Start your insulation project by thinking about where you can get the most bang for your buck. A good rule of thumb is to insulate areas with the most air leakage. Stopping air leakage will significantly reduce your energy usage, since the air you pay to condition won’t be able to escape outside.
2. Use the Hybrid Method. If you want to get the benefits of spray foam but want to save some money, you can combine insulation types and get fantastic results. It only takes 1” of closed cell foam to stop air leakage, resist moisture penetration, and get an R-value of 7. So use 1” of foam, then you can cover it with fiberglass to bulk up on R-value.
3. Look at the ‘Big Picture’. Sure, it’s easy to see a lower price tag on fiberglass and think it’s cheaper, but take a moment to think about what that fiberglass will really cost you.

First, fiberglass often has to be replaced, because it collects dirt, dust, moisture and even pests. Just imagine how the air filter in your furnace would look if you didn’t change it for 50 years; that could be what your old fiberglass looks like! Scary. Closed cell spray foam, however, is far too dense to allow dirt, dust, moisture or pests to collect. You just apply it once, and you’re done.

Second, fiberglass will cost you up to 40% more on energy bills, compared with spray foam. That’s because fiberglass is practically like a sieve; air travels straight through it. Spray foam, on the other hand, stops air leakage so you can significantly cut down on your energy use.

In closing, there’s no denying that spray foam is cheaper in the long run and more effective than fiberglass. And, spray foam insulation is well within your grasp.
