Insulation Solutions

Whether you’re building a new home or updating an existing one, Spray Foam Insulation increases your home’s energy efficiency and, most importantly, overall comfort. A home without updated insulation may allow more air to pass through walls, ceilings, and floors. When this happens, the home is leaking more than air,

it’s leaking money in wasted utility costs.

Open-Cell & Closed-Cell

Open-cell foam has a lower R-value per inch than closed-cell, and is typically about 30% less expensive. Due to the lower R-value, open-cell must be applied in a thicker layer. Because of this, it lends itself to areas that offer more space, such as attics, ceilings and floor joists.

Closed-cell foam is more expensive, but that investment pays off in a higher R-value per inch. In addition, because of it's 'sticky' qualities and rigidity once cured, it can also provide increased structural integrity to walls and ceilings.

Another key difference is that closed cell foam is a vapor barrier (water resistant) whereas open cell foam is not. Because it has closed cells that are not filled with air, it does not absorb water, making it more suitable for areas that are prone to moisture (e.g. commercial rooftops, crawl space subfloors, etc.).
