5 Spray Foam Insulation Myths. Debunked for Alberta Homeowners

Myth #1: Spray Foam Is Too Expensive

Reality:
Spray foam may have higher upfront costs compared to traditional batt insulation, but it quickly pays itself back through significant energy savings; often up to 40% on monthly bills.

Myth #2: Spray Foam Can Damage Your Roof

Reality:
When installed professionally, spray foam enhances roof performance by preventing moisture buildup and ice dams, critical in Alberta’s climate.

Myth #3: Spray Foam Insulation Is Dangerous to Health

Reality:
Certified installers, like Aires Spray Foam, use environmentally-safe, low-VOC spray foam products. Once cured, spray foam is entirely safe and non-toxic.

Myth #4: Spray Foam Isn’t Worth It for Small Renovations

Reality:
Even small areas like rim joists or basement walls benefit dramatically from spray foam’s airtight sealing and high R-value, significantly improving comfort and energy efficiency.

Myth #5: Spray Foam Only Works in New Builds

Reality:
Spray foam insulation is ideal for renovations, retrofits, and older homes; effectively sealing gaps, drafts, and areas other insulation types can’t reach.
