Closed-cell spray foam insulation is a rigid, high-density material used to insulate buildings. It forms an air and moisture barrier, improving energy efficiency and structural strength.
Closed-cell foam has a denser structure, offering higher R-value per inch and resistance to moisture. Open-cell foam is lighter, less rigid, and more vapor permeable.
Closed-cell spray foam typically has an R-value of about 6.5 to 7 per inch, making it one of the highest insulating materials available for residential and commercial use.
It can be used in walls, roofs, attics, crawl spaces, and basements. It is particularly effective in areas prone to moisture or where maximum insulation is needed in limited space.
It is highly moisture resistant but not completely waterproof. It does not absorb water and can help prevent mold growth in areas with high humidity.
Yes, it adds rigidity to walls and roofs due to its dense composition, enhancing overall structural integrity.
Properly installed closed-cell spray foam can last 30 years or more without significant degradation in performance.
It significantly reduces air leakage, leading to lower heating and cooling costs. The high R-value also helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures.
Thickness depends on the application, but generally 2 to 3 inches are applied in walls and roofs to achieve required insulation levels.
Yes, closed-cell spray foam adheres well to metal, concrete, and wood, making it suitable for a variety of structures.
Once cured, it is safe and inert. During installation, proper ventilation and safety precautions are required.
Most residential installations are completed in one to two days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
Closed-cell spray foam offers some sound-dampening, but it is not as effective as open-cell foam for acoustic insulation.
Removal is labor-intensive and may involve cutting out the foam. It is not typically removed unless damaged or improperly installed.
It remains stable across a wide temperature range and provides consistent insulation in both hot and cold climates.
No, it does not settle. It maintains its shape and insulating properties throughout its lifespan.
Closed-cell spray foam is low maintenance. Occasional inspections are recommended to check for damage or moisture issues.
