• Silicone is highly flexible and performs well in areas with high temperature fluctuations, such as around vents and ductwork. It adheres well to a variety of materials and provides excellent moisture resistance.
• Acrylic latex is suitable for general sealing purposes in the attic. It works well for sealing gaps and cracks between insulation and framing, as well as around plumbing and electrical penetrations. It is paintable, dries relatively quickly, and is easy to work with.
• Polyurethane is known for its exceptional adhesion and durability. It is particularly useful for sealing larger gaps and cracks in the attic. Also effective on various materials, including wood, metal, and masonry.

• Exceptional air sealing properties and effortlessly expanding to effectively fill and seal even the most minuscule and irregularly shaped gaps to fill and seal even the tiniest and oddly shaped gaps.
• Spray foam insulation has high R-value, providing excellent thermal insulation and improving overall energy efficiency.
• Spray foam forms a moisture-resistant barrier, helping to prevent condensation and moisture-related issues in the attic.
• The dense structure of spray foam helps reduce noise transmission, enhancing acoustic comfort within the home.
• Longevity, once properly applied, spray foam sealing can last for many years without deterioration or the need for frequent maintenance.

The Benefits of Attic Sealing

• Attic sealing leads to improved energy efficiency, resulting in reduced utility bills.
• It ensures enhanced indoor comfort by eliminating cold drafts in the winter and the infiltration of hot air during the summer.
• Attic sealing prevents moisture infiltration and related issues.
• It increases the lifespan of HVAC systems and the frequency of repairs or replacements.
• The sealing contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing energy consumption through improved efficiency.
