Spray Foam Insulation vs. Fiberglass
It’s estimated that 85% of American homes are insulated with traditional fiberglass insulation. That means that 85% of American homeowners have inefficient, unnecessarily costly buildings, with regards to energy loss and air leakage from the use of an inferior material.
Spray Pro Foam is here to help residents of Plant City, and throughout the Lakeland, FL region, through a spray foam insulation upgrade. To see how much better spray foam insulation is when compared to traditional fiberglass insulation, we have put together this overview chart.
Fiberglass Insulation | Spray Foam Insulation |
---|---|
How it Works – Tiny glass fibers trap air, slowing heat transfer. | Open Cell – mainly an air barrier. Closed Cell - air, moisture, and vapor shield. |
Cost – Around $0.40 per square foot. | Around $0.90 - $1.50 per board foot. |
Air Leakage – Yes. | Very minimal with open cell. No with closed cell. |
Energy Efficiency – Less efficient; 30 – 40%energy loss. | Significantly more efficient due to air tight sealing and superior insulation. |
Extreme Cold – Loses heat quickly. | No performance changes. |
R-Value – 2.2 per inch, brand new. Fiberglass loses R-value over time. | Open Cell: 3.5 per inch. Close Cell: 6-7 per inch. Do not lose R-value over time. |
Lifetime – 10-25 years if the material stays dry. | 80+ years. |
Benefits – Low cost installation. | Stops air, moisture, allergens, and pests. Strengthens structure and alleviates wear of HVAC equipment. |
Flammability – Potentially, due to paper on batts. | Yes – Require a fire rated barrier, like drywall. Most closed cell foams come with fire retardants. |
Sound Barrier – Very Low | Extremely High |
Structural Integrity – None added | Yes. Closed cell adds up to 250% racking strength to walls and roof |
All in all, the upfront costs to maximize the functionality of your Plant City home or business with spray foam insulation can be 2-3 times as traditional fiberglass. But, you get complete sealing, superior insulating that exceeds national standards, and offsetting of the initial payment in 5 years, on average.
Plus, our Spray Pro Foam team of knowledgeable installers will perform their discussed strategy perfectly, allowing for the benefits to shine through within minutes. It only takes that long for the blown material to fully cure. Once complete and aired out, your structure’s spaces become fully conditioned with a material that lasts a lifetime.
More and more contractors and homeowners are coming around to this revolutionary insulating material – spray foam insulation for optimizing Plant City homes and businesses.

Crawl Space Insulation for Plant City Homes
Basements and crawlspaces are notorious for air leakage, and cold air, allergen, pest, and moisture infiltration. To address all of these issues simultaneously, we at Spray Pro Foam can apply just one coat or spray foam insulation around the perimeter and underneath your Plant City home or business.
Traditional fiberglass doesn’t provide any type of seal, due to the material itself, as well as the many sizes and shapes of holes cut to allow for your HVAC system’s ducting to be ran up and elsewhere throughout the structure. Also, the rigging used to hold the fiberglass in place can crush, indent, or displace the insulation and, it can absorb moisture. As more moisture is absorbed, the fiberglass insulation can sag or fall out of place, creating a breeding ground for pests.
Closed Cell spray foam insulation in your Plant City sub-spaces is the only material able to achieve a complete seal, thermal, moisture, and harmful vapor barriers. Our skilled, certified team will apply the polyurethane spray foam to the sill plate, around the rim joist and in between each floor joist – the entire perimeter of your foundation and more – thereby eliminating issues from the “stack effect” also.
And a more consistent, uniform thermal barrier that applies “stack effect” mitigating functionality spells even less strain on your building’s systems and more savings on energy costs.
