Bonus Rooms

Bonus rooms are often found over garages where temperatures are more difficult to regulate.  They often act as media rooms where sound control is important. Spray foam is a perfect solution for these spaces.

Bonus Rooms

Excellent Insulation and Sound Control? Bonus!

Bonus rooms are often located above garages or other unconditioned spaces, which can make temperature regulation a challenge. These rooms may be drafty, and too hot or too cold, depending on the season. Proper insulation, air sealing and HVAC system design can help to address these issues.  Their location above garages or other noisy spaces can make noise transmission a significant issue. 

With their excellent air sealing abilities and insulation performance, both closed-cell and open-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulations help to maintain a comfortable temperature in the bonus room, making it more enjoyable for occupants.

Spray foams prevent air movement and minimize heat transfer, reducing the workload on heating and cooling systems. This can lead to energy savings and lower utility bills.  Since bonus rooms often serve as entertainment spaces or home offices, where noise control is crucial, SPF insulation also helps to reduce noise transmission. It acts as a sound barrier, absorbing and dampening sound waves, creating a quieter and more peaceful environment within or around the bonus room.

Spray foam insulation creates an airtight seal, minimizing the infiltration of allergens, pollutants, and outdoor contaminants into the bonus room – this is especially critical where above garage or other utility spaces. Control over air infiltration helps to improve indoor air quality, making the space healthier and more comfortable for occupants.

Benefits of Insulating Bonus Rooms with SPF:

  • High insulating value in closed-cell foam helps keep the space comfortable
  • Suitable for unique layouts or unconventional architectural features
  • Provides excellent sound control in bedrooms, media rooms or offices
  • Seamless, airtight installation creates a more energy efficient space
BASF Closed-cell spray polyurethane foam applied to wall cavity
WALLTITE®
WALLTITE® is a high-performance, closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation that creates a seamless insulating air barrier to help improve the energy efficiency, comfort, and durability of homes and buildings. Spray-applied as a liquid, WALLTITE® expands and adheres to most substrates, flowing into cracks, joints, and hard-to-reach areas to form an airtight seal. Its closed-cell structure also adds rigidity and can help reduce air leakage and moisture intrusion, supporting long-term building performance. WALLTITE® easily seals corners and transitions, as well as areas around pipes, wiring, and other openings.
BASF Open-cell spray polyurethane foam applied to wall cavity
ENERTITE®
ENERTITE® is a low-density, open-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation that provides air sealing, sound absorption and thermal insulation, allowing you to better control your indoor environment and create more energy efficient, comfortable and healthier homes and buildings. Applied as a liquid, this water-blown foam quickly expands to many times its original size, completely filling wall and roof cavities.  ENERTITE® easily seals difficult-to-reach areas such as corners and around pipes and wiring to create a seamless seal against air movement.
