Once drywall goes up, the chance to get the building envelope right is gone. Meridian's subdivisions keep framing new homes, and the open-stud stage before drywall is the one window to spec foam instead of standard fiberglass batt.
Meridian Spray Foam Insulation works with homeowners and smaller builders who want an independent spec, not whatever insulation package a production builder bundles in by default. Open-cell for walls, closed-cell for rim joists, or a mix depending on the build.

New Construction Spray Foam Insulation FAQs
Do new construction homes in Meridian need spray foam, or is fiberglass enough?
Fiberglass batt meets minimum code , but it doesn't seal air leaks the way foam does. For homeowners or builders wanting better performance than the standard spec, foam at the framing stage is the upgrade.
How long do I need to stay out of the house during spray foam installation?
For new construction, this usually isn't an issue since the home isn't occupied yet. Cure time before drywall closes in is typically a few hours, not days.
Can foam be applied to just the rim joists while the rest of the home uses batt?
Yes. A lot of builds mix closed-cell rim joist foam with batt or open-cell in the walls. We'll walk through options that fit your budget and performance goals.
What's the timeline impact on a build schedule?
Foam application usually adds a day or two compared to batt installation, but it happens within the normal pre-drywall window and doesn't typically delay the overall schedule.
