With over a decade of experience, iFoam stands out among residential insulation companies. We specialize in spray foam insulation, a superior choice for home insulation due to its exceptional insulating properties and longevity.
R-value is a measure of thermal resistance. A higher R-value indicates a material’s ability to resist heat traveling through it and is therefore more energy efficient.
Cellulose insulation has a relatively high R-value, typically ranging from 3.2 to 3.8 per inch. It is made from recycled paper fibers, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
R-value is a measure of thermal resistance. A higher R-value indicates a material's ability to resist heat traveling through it and is therefore more energy efficient.
Fiberglass insulation has a good R-value which typically ranges from 2.2 to 3.8 per inch. It’s generally more affordable compared to other insulation options.
Spray foam insulation has the highest R-value. Closed cell spray foam typically has an R-value of 6.0-7.0 per inch. One of the significant advantages of spray foam insulation is its ability to create an effective air barrier. It expands and fills gaps, cracks, and voids, creating an airtight seal.
An effectively insulated home is a key contributor to a comfortable and healthier living environment. It ensures consistent indoor temperatures, which reduces cold drafts in winter and sweltering heat in summer. This climate control contributes to a pleasant indoor living experience throughout the year. Furthermore, a well-insulated home improves indoor air quality by reducing allergens, pollutants and moisture.
Investing in high-quality insulation with iFoam can significantly reduce your energy bills. In fact, homeowners often see up to a 40% reduction after transitioning to spray foam insulation. Not only does this make a substantial difference in your pocket, but it also contributes to a greener, more sustainable lifestyle by reducing your home's energy consumption.

According to the Department of Energy, the best places to insulate in a home are the attic, the exterior walls, the floors above unheated spaces, and the foundation walls. Insulating these areas can help improve the energy efficiency, comfort, and durability of your home. However, the type and amount of insulation you need may vary depending on your climate, house design, and personal preference. You can use the Home Energy Saver tool to get customized recommendations for your home. You can also consult a professional insulation contractor to get an expert opinion and installation service.
The amount of insulation needed for a home depends on several factors, such as the climate zone, the type of insulation, and the location of the insulation in the home. Here are some general guidelines to help you estimate how much insulation you need: Insulation levels are specified by R-value, which is a measure of insulation’s ability to resist heat traveling through it. The higher the R-value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation. The list below shows the recommended R-values for different climate zones and locations in the home, based on the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) Residential Provisions.
Climate Zone 1
Climate Zone 2
Climate Zone 3
Climate Zone 4A and 4B
Climate Zone 4C, 5 and 6
