Spray Foam Insulation
What Is Spray Foam Insulation?
Spray foam is a wet expanding foam used to insulate and air seal walls, ceiling cavities, floors, spaces around electrical outlets and light fixtures, and spaces between walls and windows or doors. Spray foam is available in open cell and closed cell. Read below to learn more.
As open cell foam is sprayed, small bubbles within the foam rupture, leaving behind tiny air pockets. Open cell is non absorbent and allows water to flow through the foam’s air pockets, which prevents mold and moisture. Open cell spray foam is also used to diminish sound and has an R-Value of around R-3.8 per inch, expanding to about 3 inches of thickness.
When closed cell foam is sprayed, air bubbles within the foam do not burst, forming closed air pockets and a vapor barrier. Moisture is unable to move through the foam or become absorbed, therefore blocking mildew and mold. Closed cell foam repels water and creates an air seal, making this product extremely beneficial in flood zones. It has R-Value of approximately R-7 per inch, expanding to about 1 inch thickness, which can be left exposed after installation as the foam is dense and strong.
