| Spray Foam vs Traditional Insulation | Spray Foam | Traditional Insulation |
|---|---|---|
Provides thermal resistance when correctly installed?Both systems can provide effective thermal resistance when installed to the required R-value. |
Yes | Yes |
Creates a continuous air barrier?Closed-cell spray foam seals treated surfaces, while fibreglass batts are porous and do not function as an air barrier. |
Yes | Yes |
Fills gaps around joins and penetrations?Spray foam expands around irregular elements, while batts must be carefully cut and fitted to avoid untreated gaps. |
Yes | Depends |
Stays in place without sagging or settling?Spray foam adheres to suitable surfaces, while some traditional insulation products may sag, settle or become dislodged. |
Yes | Depends |
Resists moisture passing through the insulation?Closed-cell spray foam provides greater resistance to water vapour, while fibreglass offers little resistance to vapour diffusion. |
Yes | Yes |
Reduces the risk of trapped moisture in suitable applications?Correctly installed closed-cell spray foam can reduce moisture pathways, while fibrous insulation in some assemblies may carry a higher risk of moisture accumulation. |
Yes | Depends |
Maintains coverage around irregular building elements?Spray foam conforms around corners, junctions and penetrations that may be difficult to cover consistently with pre-cut insulation. |
Yes | Depends |
Reduces unwanted air leakage through treated areas?Spray foam combines insulation with air sealing when installed as a continuous layer. |
Yes | No |
Avoids performance loss from uninsulated gaps?Research cited in the claims sheet indicates that leaving only 5% of an area uninsulated can reduce potential insulation benefits by up to 50%. |
Yes | Depends |
Performs effectively between metal studs?Research cited in the claims sheet found closed-cell spray foam performed 20–30% more efficiently than fibreglass between comparable metal-stud wall assemblies, based on conductive heat transfer. |
Yes | Yes |
