SPRAY FOAM INSULATION
OPEN CELL INSULATION
This type of foam has a sponge-like appearance and it is commonly used on jobs. It offers a great resistance to heat flow and it doesn't shrink, sag, or settle over time. The cells make the foam softer and more flexible, allowing it to insulate areas that closed cells cannot. It's used for the smallest nooks and gaps. Open cell is also great for soundproofing by filling the area between the studs which is excellent for noise control in garage ceilings and walls. During seasons and various weather conditions, open cell foam can move with your house as it shifts and settles. It also creates an airtight seal to stop air infiltration, it prevents energy loss and poor indoor air quality. Open-cell foam is a lightweight insulation material best fit for attics, rim joists, crawl spaces, or open wall cavities however this foam won't insulate a house as well as closed-cell foam.
CLOSED CELL INSULATION
This type of foam has a more rigid and denser nature and can withstand more pressure than open-cell foam. Closed cells support the structure and keep it in place. It can achieve 2 times the R-value of an open cell inside a standard wall. The closed cell acts like a vapor barrier, prevents water and moisture from ever entering your home and protects against leaks. This foam also can help you save up to 50% on energy costs by acting as an air barrier. The longevity of closed cells can be from 80 to 100 years. Closed-cell foam insulation is the best choice for new construction and remodeling.
