Spray foam insulation is designed to keep heat in your home for longer, increasing your home’s energy efficiency. The beauty of spray foam insulation is that it comes out as spray, but then sets hard, meaning it can reach all the gaps that other insulation types just can’t.
There are two main types of spray foam:
Designed to be much softer, open-cell spray foam has some spring to it, and whilst it’s not quite as effective as the other main type of spray foam, it is cheaper to install. It will still help you save on your energy bills by improving your home’s thermal efficiency.
Closed-cell spray foam is much more rigid than open-cell when it sets, making it incredibly efficient. Because of its harder setting, it’s much more resistant to moisture, too. Its greater thermal efficiency makes it a popular choice, even with its higher upfront cost
If you think spray foam insulation is the best option for your home, then you’ll probably be wondering if you’re eligible for any of the spray foam insulation grants that are out there. And the initial answer is: it depends.
Each grant has its own eligibility criteria, so let’s take a look at the most relevant grants to you below:
