Types of Spray Foam Insulation
If you are considering insulating your home with spray foam, it’s important to choose the right type of spray foam insulation. There are two main types: open and closed cell. Each type has its own perks and drawbacks, but the best choice for you depends on your situation. URL 316insulationservices.com
Closed cell spray foam offers a higher R-value per inch than other insulation materials, including traditional fiberglass batts. It’s also physically stronger and creates an effective vapor barrier. Because of this, it’s a great choice for new construction or areas where moisture or vapor could be an issue.

On the other hand, open cell spray foam has many of the same benefits as closed-cell spray foam, but it’s a bit more affordable and it’s an excellent option for existing homes or areas that are difficult to reach with conventional materials like fiberglass batts. Open-cell spray foam uses a blowing agent that is less harmful to the environment than HFCs.
Open-cell spray foam also has the ability to “cling” to surfaces, making it ideal for insulating gaps and crevices that other materials cannot easily reach. It’s also a good choice for attics, crawl spaces, and rim joists.
When spraying insulation, professionals use a powerful spray gun to apply the product in place. As the spray foam expands, it fills every crack and nook to make your space more comfortable and energy efficient. The spray foam will also not lose its shape over time, making it a durable solution for your home.
