Rigid foam insulation has a number of advantages; while it's not a perfect insulation material for all jobs, there are a many situations in which it's the ideal insulation. The two most popular rigid foam materials, EPS (expanded polystyrene foam) and XPS (extruded polystyrene foam), also have significant differences, and we'd be happy to talk with you about which insulation product would be the best fit for your home.

Advantages of Rigid Foam Insulation:

Rigid insulation has a high R-value per inch, so it’s a practical solution for a high R-value where space is limited.

Disadvantages of Rigid Foam Insulation:

They can’t be retrofitted into existing walls without removing the drywall, and are susceptible to the same air-leakage problems as fiberglass batts and blankets. They need to be meticulously installed to limit gaps and air leaks, and they’re slightly more expensive than alternatives.
