Spray polyurethane foam insulation is used primarily to insulate new homes or structures. This is because spray foam must be applied to an open cavity. When spray polyurethane is injected into a closed wall cavity, the pressure of the expanding insulation may damage the wall.

Consider insulating an existing home or structure with spray polyurethane foam when you’re replacing the exterior siding or doing other major remodeling.

Spray foam insulation is professionally installed at the same point in the construction cycle as other types of insulation. That is, it should be installed after the rough plumbing, electrical wiring, and heating and air conditioning ducts have been installed, but before the interior walls are completed in new home construction. In some cases spray foam also can be applied in older homes or buildings, to the inside of roofs and under floors after construction has been completed.
