Spray Foam Insulation: Addressing Myths and Misconceptions

Spray foam insulation is an excellent choice for homeowners prioritising energy efficiency and comfort. However, myths and misconceptions persist. Let's debunk some of the most common ones and explore the truth about spray foam insulation.


Myth 1: Spray Foam Insulation is Harmful to Health


While past spray foam formulations may have contained potentially hazardous chemicals, modern options are far safer. Eco-conscious companies like Ferry Eco Insulation specialise in eco-friendly spray foam solutions with reduced emissions and low volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Choosing reputable installers who use certified products, like those offered by Ferry Eco, is key to ensuring a safe and healthy home environment.


Myth 2: Spray Foam Insulation is Bad for the Environment


It's important to consider the whole picture. While spray foam manufacturing has an environmental impact, its exceptional energy-saving benefits significantly outweigh this. By dramatically reducing your heating and cooling needs, spray foam lowers your carbon footprint. Ferry Eco Insulation, serving Essex and Suffolk, further minimises environmental impact by prioritising sustainable products and practices.


Myth 3: Spray Foam Insulation Causes Damp and Mould


Properly installed spray foam helps regulate indoor humidity levels and prevent condensation. Its airtight seal helps minimise moisture infiltration, creating a healthier indoor environment. Ferry Eco's expert team ensures proper installation to safeguard against damp and mould issues.


Myth 4: All Spray Foam Insulation is the Same


Open-cell and closed-cell are the two main types of spray foam. Open-cell spray foam is more flexible and less dense, while closed-cell is rigid and provides a higher R-value (thermal resistance). Ferry Eco's professionals will assess your Essex or Suffolk property and recommend the most suitable option for your home's specific needs.
