Lawton, OK Spray Foam Insulation
Weatherize Your Home or Business
Lawton Oklahoma is known to get down right cold in the winter and swealtering in the summer. Don't you owe it to yourself and loved ones to make sure your home is comfortable no matter the time of year?
Well, you can accomplish a well maintained temperature in your home throughout the year by installing spray foam insulation in your attic and basement or crawl space. The great thing about spray foam is that it is applied as a liquid which allows the foam to get inside the smallest of cracks, and slowly expands until it fills up that space. This helps ensure that hot and cold air doesn't escape from the house leading to greater energy efficiency and lower utility bills.
Does your home have a HVAC and/or water heater located in the attic or the basement? Well, because open-cell and closed-cell both have high R-values, you can help the overall efficiency of your HVAC unit and water heater simply by installing spray foam insulation.
Polyurethane foam has other benefits as well. Unlike traditional fiberglass insulation, spray foam doesn't lose form over time nor is it susceptible to mildew and mold like traditional insulation. As a result, spray foam insulation can help improve the air quality inside your home and can be most advantageous to those that might suffer from asthma or allergies.
Spray foam insulation offers several benefits for homeowners and businesses in Lawton including protecting against air leakage which is the main culprit of higher energy costs. It's also great for people with allergies and asthma because it helps keep air pollutants out. Open cell and closed cell spray foam can reduce mold growth caused by moisture.

Helps with Temperature Retention
Both open-cell spray foam and closed-cell spray foam help resist heat transfer which ultimately helps you to better regulate temperature in your space. This is important if you are concerned with overall comfortability of your home, need to store items that are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, or are concerned about energy efficiency.
Deters Mildew and Mold Growth
Polyurethane spray foam insulation helps fill cracks and holes that may allow more than just moisture to enter the structure. Spray foam not only helps to plug the holes keeping air and moisture from entering through these spaces, it also, is impermeable to water meaning it does not absorb moisture like other insulation materials like batts and rolls.
Improve Overall Air-Quality
If you suffer from allergies or asthma, then you may want to consider insulating your attic, crawlspaces and/or roof with spray foam insulation. Our Lawton Spray Foam Contractors can advise and help you create a more air-tight envelope of your home or business reducing air-pollutants from seeping into your space.
Has a Long Life-Span
Unlike fiberglass and other insulation products, spray foam doesn't lose its shape over time. Spray foam is made of an inert polymer that has a long life span meaning it will be many years before you'll need to re-insulate your space. So, practically speaking, the return on investment over the life span is much higher than your more traditional forms of insulation.
Promotes Energy Efficiency
Spray foam is able to create a tight seal and because of this has arguably the highest R-value in the industry. Especially for homes that have the HVAC unit and/or water heater located in the attic or basement of the home, a good spray foam installation can help regulate the temperature in the space ultimately enabling the units to operate more efficiency. This energy efficiency translates into real dollars, helping you save money on your utility bills.
Its An Effective Sound Barrier
Do you live next to a busy street or highway, close to the airport, near a train right-of-way, across the street from a school or fire station, then you may want to consider installing spray foam to help block out some of that noise. In fact, spray foam is considered one of the best types of insulation you can consider to reduce outside noise. Open cell spray foam is generally better at sound proofing than closed cells spray foam.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is spray foam water proof?
Fortunately, there is a spray foam option that provides waterproof protection however not all solutions are made equal. It is important to understand the difference between open-cell and closed-cell spray foam. First, open-cell spray foam is generally less common for a few reasons. It generally has a lower R-value than closed-cell spray foam, it doesn't insulate as well as closed-cell, and it doesn't provided additional structural support that closed-cell spray insulation provides. And, most importantly, if protection from water intrusion is your concern, then open-cell spray foam is probably not the best solution because it isn't waterproof. Closed-cell spray foam is waterproof due to its higher density.
What does R-value mean?
R-value is the measure of how well a building's insulation can prevent the flow of heat in and out of a business or home. The higher the R-value the better the insulation and ultimately the more money you can save in cooling and heating costs.
Is 2-inches of spray foam enough insulation?
The answer is, it depends on whether you are applying open-cell or closed-cell spray foam and what purpose or goal you wish to accomplish. For instance, if you plan to insulate a detached garage, then 1-inch of closed-cell spray foam is probably enough to get the job done. However, if you plan to insulate an attic, then you may require something more than 1-inch of application.
Is spray foam worth the money?
This question really depends on what you value. There are several benefits of spray foam insulation but it is a bit pricer than other methods of insulation. It really comes down to a benefit vs burden analysis. Reiterating some of the benefits of spray foam; it is helpful in keeping unwanted pests out because of how the foam can expand to block holes and cracks, it has a higher R-value that can contribute to better energy efficiency and lower utility costs over time, you are less likely to have to upgrade or replace the insulation in the near or long term, it can help prevent mold and mildew growth which can be quite costly to remedy, as well as many other benefits. When you look at the totality of the benefits, one can argue that spray foam installation is a better return on investment over time than traditional insulation.
