Open cell spray foam insulation is lower density and has a soft, fluffy feel and most often recommended for residential application for exterior walls, attics, or roof lines. If you are looking for soundproofing quality, consider getting open cell spray foam. Open cell foam is not considered a moisture barrier. While this may sound like a downfall, it may not be considering where it is applied. For instance, applying open cell foam to your roofline or attic floor may be ideal. While it provides superior insulation, it also would allow you to identify any leaks that may develop in your roof.
Closed cell spray foam is denser and ideal for below-grade, such as basements or crawlspaces, because it can block moisture intrusion. Its texture is firm, almost like plastic. Since closed cell foam creates a moisture barrier, you would want to have it applied in areas of your home or building that are underground, preventing that musty or dank smell associated with basements or crawlspaces.
The Process
Receiving spray foam insulation is a simple process, whether it is a new build or an already built home. Our experts utilize equipment that is easy to operate inside, applying the foam in a way that does not disrupt your day to day activities. Once applied, spray foam, whether open or closed cell cures fairly quickly. Project length may vary, depending on the accessibility of the area needing to be sprayed.
