Spray Foam Insulation

What is spray foam insulation?

Spray foam insulation is the best method to insulate your home or office, protect it from heat and cold, and create a barrier for airflow. It’s an economical way to insulate your space and reduce energy consumption effectively. This insulation material starts as a condensed liquid and expands when it’s sprayed. Because spray foam begins as a liquid, it is easily sprayed into any space, including small gaps and cracks. Spray foam does not lose its shape, so you can easily adapt the material to fill crevices during installation. 

Spray foam is a versatile insulating material that can be sprayed on most materials, including:

• Spaces where walls and windows or walls and doors meet
• Open cavities where there is access such as attics, rim joists, coral spaces, and new construction
• Tiny spaces around electrical outlets and light fixtures
• Old homes, commercial buildings, pole barns 

Spray foam insulation can either be open cell or closed cell. Both can create an air seal but are different in properties and indications.

Open Cell Spray foam 

Open-cell spray foam is spray-applied on any open cavity. Because of its excellent expansion property, you can apply this material easily to any tight spaces and gaps. This type of spray foam also allows water to pass through without being soaked up. Open-cell spray foam insulation is indicated in new and existing homes and any nook or gap you can find. 



Closed Cell Spray foam 

On the other hand, closed-cell spray foam is indicated in commercial structures, vans, and pole barns. It can be left exposed because of its great durability, and water cannot pass through closed-cell spray foam.
