CLOSED-CELL FOAM

Closed-cell spray foam insulation is the premier choice for insulating your home or place of business. Closed-cell foam out performs fiberglass, cellulose, and open-cell foam insulation, with R-values as high as 6.0 per inch. It’s high density and expandable nature allows it to bring excellent insulating power to tight spaces – like crawlspaces, walls, ceilings and even roofs. Here are some of the benefits to using closed-cell spray foam:

First, because of the high-density nature to closed-cell spray foam, it acts a waterproof vapor barrier. In this regard, closed-cell foam is superior to open-cell foam which requires additional moisture protection and is not well-suited for colder environments. Because of this, closed-cell foam helps to control moisture and condensation. As a result, closed-cell foam helps prevent any kind of mold from building up in your walls due to moisture build up.

Second, closed-cell form excels at resisting the flow of air. Not only does this mean the inside temperature of your home will be more consistent, it will also help reduce drafts to improve the overall comfort of your home. Because of it’s dense nature, closed-cell foam out performs open-cell and cellulose insulation by greatly reducing air flow and heat loss. In short, it will greatly reduce your home energy costs by helping to keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

Third, closed-cell foam adds a number of secondary benefits such as improved structural integrity. Because closed-cell spray foam insulation does not sag or settle, it adds more structure and strength to your walls and ceilings. This also means it has a longer life span. Unlike other forms of insulation that change over time, spray foam is made up of inert polymers that give it a much longer lifespan, meaning that it does not suffer in performance over extended periods of time.
