Lifecycle Cost of Soy Foam Insulation

Going beyond a simple dollar amount

Given all the benefits of soy foam insulation, you are probably wondering about it's costs. Soy-based insulation has a high initial cost when compared to other types of insulation, but this cost is offset by the long-term payback it provides through lower monthly utility bills.  In fact, soy-based insulation is one of the few building materials that can provide a return over time to the owner greater than its initial cost.  Also, energy savings is an investment in the quality of the building and adds immediate value and increases future value and salability.  Furthermore, soy-based insulation has additional benefits, most importantly, improved indoor air quality that other types of insulation cannot match.

Soy-based insulation is an excellent choice for all building types including residential, commercial, school, hospital, religious, LEED and Federal government projects.  Renewable Resource Insulation highly recommends that all new construction residential projects seek Energy Star certification, and claim the Federal Tax Credits currently available.  Please contact us for more information regarding Energy Star certification.

Product Costs:

Although the installed cost will vary for each project, we can say that closed-cell foam will generally cost more than open-cell foam because it it heavier and denser. We cna help consumers compare closed vs open cell foam to determine which best meets your needs.
