Spray foam insulation offers performance benefits, but installation quality and home design matter. I’ll explore its role in a healthy home, from air sealing to vapor control. I’ll explain why alternatives require early planning and share questions to discuss with your design and build team. Planning a healthy home and want help with your project? Tell us more 👉🏼 https://form.typeform.com/to/AuWz58ak In this episode, we will discuss: spray foam insulation, its performance benefits, installation concerns, and what it takes to plan a home without it. I’ll walk through open-cell and closed-cell foam, air sealing, R-value, vapor control, and thermal bridging to explain why another insulation material may not be a direct replacement. I’ll also discuss on-site mixing, potential installation defects, and why plant-based marketing deserves a closer look. If avoiding spray foam is a priority, I’ll explain why that conversation belongs in architectural planning. I’ll share questions about wall and roof sections, moisture analysis, material specifications, and whether your attic will be vented or unvented. These discussions can help you understand the proposed building assembly and communicate your expectations so your plans reflect the home you want built. 💬 Let's connect on Instagram!
