What is Spray Foam Insulation?

Spray foam insulation is an effective, durable insulative material that is created on-site by mixing two liquid components. Each individual ingredient is conveyed through a heated hose towards a mixing gun, which is then used to apply the chemical. Once the spray foam has made contact with the surface to be insulated, it begins to foam and expand rapidly, and it quickly becomes a solid material that can fill even the tightest gaps and crevices. Spray foam is available in two different formulations, open-cell, and closed-cell, and depending on which type is used, it may expand to as much as 40 to 100 times its size upon application.

Types of Spray Foam

Open-Cell Spray Foam

Open-cell spray foam is lighter, less dense and more pliable than the closed-cell variety, and it’s most commonly used on the underside of roof decks and in interior wall cavities, attics, crawlspaces and basement walls. This material expands to around three inches in thickness when applied, making it the ideal solution in hard to reach areas and in most cases requires only a single application. A minimum depth of three inches is required for adequate air sealing. The benefits of open-cell spray foam include:

• Mold resistant
• Aids with soundproofing
• Lower cost to purchase and install
• Allows for bi-directional drying

Closed-Cell Spray Foam

Closed-cell spray foam is more rigid and dense than the open-cell form and is suitable for both exterior and interior applications. It is exceptionally resistant to weather and temperature changes and acts as a vapor barrier to prevent water and moisture from penetrating your interior environment. While it is more expensive to install than the open-cell variety, closed-cell spray foam has a number of significant advantages which include:

• Can achieve twice the R-value of open-cell spray foam
• Can be applied in very low temperatures
• Increases the structural integrity of a building
• With minimal expansion, closed-cell spray foam is ideal in tight applications
• Has a higher R-value per inch than open-cell spray foam
• Needs only two inches of thickness to create an air seal

Whichever type of spray foam you choose, it’s imperative that you hire an experienced contractor to apply the insulation.

Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam is a great insulation option because it:

• Provides a quieter indoor environment — As a result of spray foam insulation, outside noises are greatly reduced, providing a peaceful environment for your home or commercial property.
• Increases comfort level — Spray foam insulation helps make your home more comfortable by eliminating drafts and condensation.
• Helps with air sealing — Able to fill irregular and hard-to-reach spaces, spray foam insulation is effective at sealing cracks and voids in any area. This also allows spray foam insulation to be easily installed between floor joists and around wiring, piping and ductwork.
