SPRAY FOAMVERSUS

FIBERGLASSINSULATION

SPRAY FOAM and FIBERGLASSare two common insulation materials,

but it is important to look athow they stack up against each other.

SPRAY FOAM INSULATIONcan cover even the tiniest cracks

and gaps when it expands.

FIBERGLASS battingcan leave huge gaps,allowing air to escape.

SPRAY FOAMcan help homeowners

save anywhere from 30% to 50%on monthly energy costs.

FIBERGLASS INSULATIONoffers only a fraction of the savingsthat spray foam does.

SPRAY FOAM INSULATIONcan act as a noise barrier,

minimizing sounds from outsideand inside the structure.

FIBERGLASSdoes not reduce excess noise at all.

SPRAY FOAMcan also act as a moisture barrier,

preventing the formation ofpotentially dangerous mold

and mildew.

FIBERGLASSdoes not act as a moisture barrierand does nothing to prevent mold.

Two pounds ofCLOSED-CELL SPRAY FOAM

has an R-value of 7.0,whereas fiberglass only

has an R-value of 2.5.

FIBERGLASSis significantly cheaper thanspray foam, but the lasting effects ofpolyurethane foam insulationcan make it well worththe investment.
