There isn’t one insulation product that’s best for every home. The right insulation depends on your home’s design, climate, budget, and performance goals.
At Foam House, we believe every home deserves the insulation system that best fits the application—not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Our recommendations may include:
Closed-Cell Spray Foam – Maximum R-value, superior air sealing, and moisture resistance.
Open-Cell Spray Foam – Excellent air sealing and sound absorption for walls and rooflines.
Natural Sheep Wool Insulation – A renewable insulation that helps manage moisture and provides excellent acoustic performance.
Mineral Wool (Rock Wool) – Outstanding fire resistance and sound control.
Fiberglass Insulation – A reliable, cost-effective option when properly installed.
The best insulation is part of a complete building system that includes proper air sealing, moisture management, ventilation, and correctly designed heating and cooling.
Foam House Standard: We evaluate each home individually and recommend the insulation system that delivers the best long-term comfort, energy efficiency, durability, and value for your specific project.

For the UPC spray foam products installed by Foam House:
Re-entry: You may typically re-enter the home 2 hours after the spray foam application is complete, provided the home has been properly ventilated.
Normal occupancy: Wait 24 hours before returning to normal occupancy, including sleeping in the home.
Foam House follows the manufacturer’s published re-entry and occupancy guidelines for every installation. Proper ventilation during and after the installation is essential to allow the foam to cure and the home to be safely occupied.
Note: Re-entry and occupancy times may vary depending on the spray foam product used and the manufacturer’s recommendations. If your project uses a different product, Foam House will provide the appropriate guidance before installation.

Once your home has been insulated and air sealed, it behaves differently than it did during framing. Moisture generated from construction activities—such as concrete curing, drywall finishing, painting, rain exposure, and everyday humidity—can remain trapped inside until the heating, cooling, and ventilation systems are operational.
To help protect the home during this temporary construction phase, Foam House recommends the following:
● Monitor indoor relative humidity and aim for 40–60% (ideal: 45–55%).
● If humidity rises above 60%, use one or more portable dehumidifiers.
● Run portable fans to circulate air throughout the home.
● Open windows when outdoor temperature and humidity conditions are favorable to promote fresh air exchange.
● Once the HVAC system has been commissioned, close the windows and operate the heating or air conditioning system as designed.
● Operate the home’s ventilation system (HRV, ERV, or other approved system) once it has been installed and commissioned.
● Continue managing humidity until construction is complete and the home is occupied.
Foam House Standard: Every insulated home should have a moisture management strategy. Until the permanent heating, cooling, and ventilation systems are operating, temporary ventilation, air circulation, and dehumidification may be necessary to protect building materials and maintain a healthy indoor environment.

Yes. While spray foam remains an excellent solution for many applications, Foam House Insulation is developing Natural Performance Systems for homeowners who prefer high-performance alternatives.
These systems combine proven building science with premium insulation materials, including:
Natural sheep wool insulation
Rockwool stone wool insulation
High-performance air barrier systems
Smart vapor control membranes
When properly designed and installed, these assemblies can meet—and in many applications exceed—the performance goals of traditional spray foam systems for comfort, energy efficiency, durability, moisture management, and indoor air quality.
At Foam House, we believe every home is different. Rather than recommending a single product for every project, we design the insulation system that best fits your home’s construction, performance goals, budget, and long-term durability.
