Is Spray Foam Insulation Safe?
Why Has Spray Foam Has Gotten Some Bad Press?
Poor installation can lead to damp, mould, or ventilation issues.
If you’ve researched spray foam insulation, you’ve probably seen headlines about damp, mould, or ventilation issues.
The truth?
These problems aren’t caused by spray foam itself — they’re caused by incorrect installation or the wrong product being used in the wrong place.
Unfortunately, some installers cut corners. Some installers are cowboys. Poor preparation, skipping ventilation requirements, or using the wrong foam type can cause long-term issues.
At Lovinsulation, we do things differently.
The Real Causes of Spray Foam Problems:
Inadequate ventilation – Trapping moisture without allowing airflow.
Wrong foam type – Using closed-cell where open-cell is needed, or vice versa.
Lack of roof assessment – Ignoring existing damp or damage before installation.
Poor application technique – Uneven coverage, gaps, or over-spraying.
