Protect your home, and your wallet!
Spray foam insulation doesn’t just insulate your home like traditional insulation products such as fiberglass or cellulose. Spray foam insulation insulates and seals air leaks.
Air sealing prevents air from inside your home from escaping through the cracks and crevices in your home. These penetration points can be tiny – so small they may not be visible. These penetration points result from the construction process – installing electrical wires, can lights, duct work, attic access doors, plumbing stacks and more.
Sealing air leaks keeps conditioned air inside your home (air you’ve already paid to heat or cool).

Why invest in spray foam insulation?
With so many ways homeowners can spend money on their home, why should you invest in spray foam insulation? Here are just a few reasons:
Spray Foam Seals Leaks
Sealing air leaks and adding proper mechanical ventilation to a home can increase your indoor air quality. Air leakage (outside air that enters a house uncontrollably through cracks and openings) is not the same as ventilation. Sealing these leaks and properly ventilating your home creates healthier indoor air.
Spray Foam Improves Air Quality
Is your house built on a crawl space? Insulating and sealing your crawl space with foam insulation can dramatically improve the air quality inside your home. As your home naturally breathes air from your crawl space moves up into your home, bringing with it contaminants such as mold and pest debris with it. Sealing your crawl space will keep those pests out of your home.

Metal Building Insulation
Have a metal building that needs insulation? Spray foam insulation is a great solution. It can easily be installed to the building’s interior to maintain indoor temperature. Spray foam can also increase the strength of your metal building, helping defend it against high winds and more.
Spray foam isn't just for building insulation... it can be used anywhere!
We’ve installed spray foam insulation in a variety of applications including Sprinter vans. We use spray foam on applications that require a controlled temp including trailers.

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation vs Traditional Insulation
Let’s start with the biggest reason: Spray foam insulation from LiveGreen can save you money in more ways than one!
Unlike traditional insulation, spray foam insulates and seals air leaks, immediately making your home more energy efficient by stopping air exfiltration– or thermal transfer. One of your biggest bills is paying to heat and cool your home, but because of small leak points- some not even visible- a lot of that costly interior air leaks out of cracks and crevices around electrical outlets, lighting, windows, doors, ductwork and other penetration points. When you install closed cell spray polyurethane foam insulation (SPF), it seals those air leaks, preventing the loss of air you’ve already paid to heat or cool.
Spray foam insulation also improves your comfort. As mentioned, it seals air leaks so no more drafty corners or cold spots in your home. Because air infiltration- or outside air leaking in- can also cause condensation as well as cold spots, that could lead to mold issues. When you seal those air leaks by installing spray foam insulation, you reduce the risk of moisture problems. And you get the added benefit of reducing allergens like dust or pollen coming into your home from air permeating in, so you enjoy better air quality as a result.
Can spray foam insulation help reduce outside noise?
Bothered by outside noise? Spray foam insulation offers a superior sound barrier for better noise control than traditional insulation. And when used on interior walls, SPF can reduce sound transmission between rooms. So when you lay down for a peaceful night’s sleep, or settle in to concentrate on a project or good book, you can actually enjoy peace and quiet, with less noise bleeding in from outside the home or from adjoining rooms.
Spray Foam (SPF) also saves you money by providing better durability than traditional insulation options. Traditional insulation materials like fiberglass or cellulose can break down over time. It can settle or sag, becoming less effective and allowing moisture in, which can lead to mold and mildew issues. SPF on the other hand is highly durable, designed to last for years and years, and offers superior protection for your home that you can count on, and that future buyers will appreciate.
And because SPF helps improve structural integrity, using spray foam insulation actually reinforces your structure by creating a stronger bond between walls and ceilings.
Where can you use spray foam insulation?
Another selling point of spray foam insulation is its versatility: Most folks think of insulation as a barrier between the roof and attic of a structure, and SPF certainly shines in that application, providing an air tight insulating layer that helps protect your comfort and reduce your energy bills.
SPF can also be used inside exterior walls, between interior walls, as well as to insulate the spaces behind walls and underneath flooring. When you incorporate spray foam insulation from LiveGreen, you’re basically getting an airtight seal around your rooms and home to enhance your comfort and cost-savings year round.
