Why Install Foam Insulation?
Foam insulation can be a costly soundproofing method, but if installed properly, foam insulation offers airtight insulation and excellent soundproofing. If treated with an insecticide to prevent tunneling, foam insulation also helps to eliminate hiding places and entryways for bugs and other pests. Foam insulation is also used to insulate or seal leaks in and around: • Foundations • Walls • Attics • Under basement slabs • In entry and overhead garage doors • Pipes and tanks • Electrical outlets. Foam insulation is easily damaged by sunlight so it is often covered with a material such as tar or asphalt.
